I am a beginner in website building and I am currently in a program which offered this platform. I was very intimidated at first, and I am still navigating the whole website building environment. Soooooo, so far I am getting acclimated and more at ease with the whole process. Thank you bluehost! I am definitely on my way...

The interaction of the GUI interface is very slow. Many times I have to wait 5+ minutes to jump from menu to home and vice versa. It has improved over the recent week; however, still has issues.

My website is working very slowly
June 16, 2022

My website is working very slowly. Pages take a long time to load. It took me ages just to upload a new product because even on the back end it is moving so slow. Please fix this!

I am finding the setup of Bluehost mostly straightforward, but since all I wanted was a blog, and not the whole page, all I care about is using wordpress. No matter what I do in Wordpress, all I get are offers to spend more money or get pushed back to my Bluehost page. I thought this was going to be easy.

I love being able to talk to real humans; however, I can't get real help unless I upgrade when I'm already paying a lot.

A lot of complicated procedures in posting and traffics. Add to that, whenever you turn your face, you meet the obstacle of SEO. Where is it, the simplicity of blogging and visibility?

It has been easy to use. The spell check on the email is really weak.
