It take a multiple clicks to find the function I need, specially the cPanel. This should be easy to access.

Ross is simply the BEST! She was kind, helpful, and very supportive. She solved my issue in less than 2 minutes. I recommend her all the time

I don't like to use your WordPress themes when I have Divi. I'm always being highjacked during onboarding.

Previous review

I am too tired from covid. I paid for another year. The salesperson told me Id get phone WordPress help and gave me the number. I've been paying for this extra service a long time and never used it. So when I need it, I get told I don't have it. Very rudely., and ignored.

Deleted staging site which in turn deleted the database for my main site. Had to wait longer than the initial 72 hours promised restore time. Reached back out to support and they told me another 24 hours. Now my webpages couldn't be processed today.

I have a cron job and all the time you are changing the time, it is a garbage service that you give when you write to the chat

It is not very beginner friendly, and I don't want to have to spend money to get help.

Overall a clean look and feel, but some of the customization and many of the color options are horribly buried in contextual menus -- All color preferences should be located in the same place, as seen in the Mobile page version.

So far, just about everything I have done in moving my websites to BlueHost has gone wrong. NOW, I find that Elementor is struggling because of slow server speed.

We have our website and e-mail hosted by bluehost. I recently built a new website and added the website hosting to our existing e-mail hosting. The changeover has been anything but smooth, and the customer support teams have been incompetent and are unable to have direct communication with the more experienced support team, and even worse are unable to allow me to speak directly with them. In the two days that we have been working with this, our e-mail accounts have been disabled three times (including right now as I write this), my read emails on my accounting e-mail were deleted and have not been restored, my website was disconnected inexplicably after we had it up and running, and when they reconnected it they actually COMPLETELY deleted my website that I had just spent thousands of dollars creating. Fortunately my webdesigner had a copy, though there are hours of changes that are not on that back-up. All this, and I am still unable to get real time support from anyone but the lowest tiered techs or any acknowledgement of their mistakes. Just a pat "can I help you with anything else". Like... what else would I want you to help me with. Everything you touch becomes a hot mess.

After a week of tech support chats and voice calls I still dont have a web site up and running. Nobody seems to be able to help. They are unfamiliar with In5 and how to make it work with Word Press. Very frustrating.
