Somehow I lost access to my original account with my email address, but it created a staging account under the admin number. It's been a bit confusing.

Used for hosting for several years but at renewal time prices increased significantly and they wouldn't give a better offer. Now that I've changed hosts they have started to offer new hosting plans at 20% of the cost on the renewal so clearly they could have offered it earlier to keep me as a customer. New host also has new features and doesn't charge extra for them. Site downtime has also been a regular problem over the last year with no compensation or explanation

You Blue folks really seem to go above and beyond to make me know that your aim is my satisfaction. So I seem to always give 5s on the surveys!

The Price Hike from the first year to the second is a bit much. Otherwise, as good service.

The performance of my website is very slow. Always. Now I'm unable to save edits I make to posts. Also, it appears that my site is blacklisted as UCEPROTECTL3. I've researched this and I found it is because of the webhost. This has prevented a number of people entering my site

Your development screens don't make sense to me, can't figure out how to set up the websites and stores that I need. I've done this before, but your stuff seems deliberately obscure so that you can upsell.

A little confusing about having to pay 2 bills for one website but maybe I'm ignorant. Also, navigating the website could be easier. A LOT of great info on it, but simple RENEW NOW would be helpful.

So far...
March 3, 2024

So far... I've had to rebuild my site from near scratch because, instead of being told I could simply transfer my existing site using a Wordpress plugin, I was given convoluted and incorrect instructions and an offer to have BH do it for me. Then, I've had an issue (STILL unresolved) of fixing my custom domain emails in iCloud (DKIM record issue) despite reaching out 4 different times for assistance - told 3 times it was fixed, and the latest I was on my own. Beyond those issues, I had been unable to reconnect Jetpack to my site and was only able to fix that due to the kindness of a stranger in a Wordpress.org forum for helping get that repaired. I went directly there simply because there has been very little "support" whenever I reach out to tech support. Plenty of "are you still there?" while I'm typing responses that take more than a couple words to express - can't your people see that I'm typing?! I can see THEY are! I was left a reply *******@bluehostsupport on my forum post, but was merely given a useless link to documentation, which did not resolve my issue, but no further response when I replied it had not worked. So you could say I'm unhappy.
