I am new to website design and html. I wanted to be able to change any aspect of my website instead of using a cookie cutter template most services default to. This option has been pretty straightforward for me to implement on my own, so thank you!

I wish there was more transparency with billing. I'll get suddenly billed for things without warning, and for multiple year terms I didn't agree to. I've tried to look up my subscription status for different offerings on the website, but didn't find the information I needed.

My site was reverted randomly to the day I signed up with you. None of the changes I've made since then can be restored. No explanation has been given as to how that could happen or why it happened. My site a records were pointed to a default IP and the SSL cert was removed. No explanation has been given as to how that happened. This is rediculous.

Bluehost initiated a number of changes (user ID, etc.) and did not inform me, so I'm having a lot of trouble getting in

I have had a horrible experience with Bluehost, especially in the past few months. I've even expressed this on quite a few support calls and asked to speak to a Manager. None would return the call. Finally, after 4 or 5 promises of a Manager callback, I called and refused to hang up until I spoke with a Manager. I ended up speaking to Ritz. She helped clear a file backup issue but did not care in the slightest bit about my concerns and complaints regarding your company's horrendous service. I am truly thinking of going back to GoDaddy or some other hosting company.
