I've contacted customer support twice about my issue and they inform me that it the issue would be resolved within 4-6 hours... But I'm still having issues, and now with more than one email address.

So far not too bad
May 18, 2022

So far not too bad. I am still trying to get used to the control panel. It seems that the new control panel is a bit clunky. Controls seem slow to act. Other than that everything is working as expected.

I have found it a challenging and steep learning curve. Even though I was able to set up and maintain my webpage, I still don't have a clue about subscriptions and maximizing the benefits of my webpage. Yes, I could hire someone. But the purpose of setting up this webpage was to learn. Bottom line, I need to invest more time in learning.

My experience has been pretty good. I can run my own website. There are still things that I wish I knew how to do but have struggled to find help.

I have had many crashes of my sites due to server problems, when I entered bluehost, it was not like that. For the same reason I changed from another provider to bluehost. If it continues like this I will also change.

There have been some bumps in the road for what I expected to be a seamless experience. The main issues have been surrounding my domain and setting it up with the hosting site (from which it was purchased). I hope that everything is resolved now after having already spoken to customer care. However, I will say that customer care has been beneficial.

I had Bluehost for years and usually no issues, but when there is an issue, the people responding at the end of the support lines have so much lacking in skills. Always handing you off to someone else because that person doesn't know anything. Hire tech people to answer the phones in the first place. It would save me time and you money in the longrun.
