By far the worst platform I have tried using. 100% not beginner friendly.

This is my third day using Blue Host. The first day, I had trouble accessing the dashboard and was told it was a glitch. I found out the next day, that the person didn't switch my account to shared hosting (from website builder) after he told me he did (the plan switch was my fault because I clicked on the wrong plan).

The second day, they fixed the glitch, but then there was a second issue because I couldn't get to my website to edit it. I was again told there was a glitch and the server was down for people with a certain IP address. We are batting 0 for 2.

We will see what today holds, but it's definitely been frustrating especially when you pay for a service. I'm also afraid I'll have issues w/my website once it's up and running. All staff has been courteous and has tried to be helpful.

Meh

Meh. It's hit & miss. Talking internet tech is already fraught with linguistic challenges without throwing ESL into the mix of CS at such a high ratio. I have always

As a fairly novice web site designer / publisher the site is high end but approachable and customer service is excellent.
I recently deleted a page by mistake and their live chat agent helped me fix the problem very easily.

I have had issues with SPF records for quite a while and no one appears to have enough experience to give me adequate advice. Other than this one topic, support has been very good.
