I don't understand why the name of the website is changed when I go into my website and start doing editing. It's not the name of my website but some letters and bluehost word in it.

I'm facing malware issue...
April 1, 2024

I'm facing malware issue... the entire server has been completely destroyed. We are loosing clients and money and there is no support given by Bluehost on it. This is really disappointing and unprofessional.

Each time I've tried to get on the last few times, I've not been able to. I've had to change passwords or even call. This time I called and it had to be reset three or four times. Not sure if the woman on the phone thought I am an idiot who can't type or just can't digress from the script. I typed in the password that I just made and it did. Not. Work. Each. Time.

Every time I have a problem and contact support, they send me a link to an article that I can't understand. Unhelpful.

Have sent many emails to BlueHost.com asking to cancel the order I made immediately after ordering. No replys. Called accounting and they couldn't figure it out either. Had Chat help me and they said they did, but not.
Now I am being billed for that same payment I made in Jan. 2024 again this month. It said it was automatic. I again replyied that I had already paid for the extention of www.pony-chincoteague.com in January 2024. SSL
And last year I found out that two other smaller web hosting companies have also been into my business. And they have been billing me also, right along with BlueHost.com

Loved bluehost back in the day for high quality service - regardless of phone, chat, email, etc. this is slipping. The hosting speeds and capabilities are NOT the best and everyone knows that, but service made up for it. No longer the case. Likely a hosting shift coming soon for us as we grow.

Not used to the format. Which is was easier than trying to navigate through pages to get what you're looking for.
