Clicked on Google Workplace Add ons and instead of taking me to a Google aubscription place it keeps returning to the Add Ons page. Very frustrating and your Support guy told me to just call Google. I want to make sure this account is Blue Hosted all the way and not confused with any of my other Google accounts. That is why I wanted done on the website.

You tried to charge almost 800£ for an autorenewal, and I'm not finding where I can turn this off. I'm considering leaving bluehost because of this

Update... after posting my review on several sites about Blue Host, they contacted me and refunded my money. To everyone, share your experiences, your reviews do count.

Credit Card Fraud
May 11, 2023
Previous review

They commit fraud charges on your credit on file. I paid for one service and they charged for additional items on credit card for other services, I directly told them I do not want. I also still have the same items in my cart and I never check out. They are refusing to refund my charges. They also refuse to transfer me to a USA customer rep. Now I have to go through the trouble of reporting these charges to my bank as fruadulant. Buyer beware and always check your statements for fraud. Never let them put your credit card on file.

Everything seems really complex and confusing. I'm not completely computer illiterate but I guess I am website illiterate. It seems like this should be easier, but maybe that's not possible.

Just trying to figure out how to re-set my new domain name from the default one was kind of pain, but the guys I called and talked to were very good.

I'm having a really hard time navigating the user interface at Bluehost. I also dislike that you can only purchase an annual versus a monthly shared hosting plan, given my budget. I wish many features of Bluehost could be more transparent and easier to navigate for first-time users.

Overloaded with stuff I have no idea about
June 6, 2023

Overloaded with stuff I have no idea about. It should not automatically add stuff I may not use/want/be interestedin. And most of the stuff is just more money.

Site setup has been a little harder than expected. I'm semi-technical. Was hoping the templates would be easier to manipulate. Email setup was decent.

Not realising that a new domain requires being linked to the "primary domain" has given me issues that cannot be resolved online and offline support seems to be weekdays only.

It's ok. The user friendliness is a bit "eh." Took me awhile to realize that logging into bluehost does not log me into WordPress. And I'm still unsure how to edit any pages for posting‍

I paid far more than I had bargained for and I found it all very confusing for a novice. I had blogs years ago when things were much simpler and straightforward.
