Too many changes with no warning or steps on how to still effectively use Bluehost and building pages. I used to just log into WordPress and create and now when I click "Log into WordPress" I get error pages

My site has been going off and on sporadically and every time I contact bluehost I'm told their servers are down. This is very disappointing considering the amount of money I pay to host with you.

There is only one option for shipping which is flat rate, there is no variations in the event a customer wants overnight or next day.

Your support has sucked today
June 17, 2022

Your support has sucked today. Your supervisor lied to me and then put me on hold for over 30 minutes to later hang up. I've spent over 5 hours today with support with no resolution.
