Not going well. It is hard to figure out how to set everything up for my blog.

Subscribed due to the advertisement of one free Wordpress migration; however, when the Bluehost migration plug-in did not work, it directed me to a phone number to call, whereupon the rep stated she was not trained to migrate a site but that I could pay $149.99 to have professional assistance. Not enjoying my experience thus far.

I recently created a BlueHost account. However, I received errors any time I tried to purchase a domain name or create a site. Google searches for advice led to 90% broken links on their website, the chat bot couldn't answer even very basic questions, and I talked to 5 people who alternated between saying it was a verification issue and it was not a verification issue. Not a single person was able to help me and they all requested that I send them information I had sent all the previous people. This issue is still not resolved and I am still being handed off to different customer service reps after days of attempted resolution. If you don't ever encounter any technical errors with Bluehost, it's probably a great service, but if you have any problems at all, prepare to feel like you've entered customer service purgatory and question both your sanity and your desire to ever create a website.

Sometimes i can't access my domain. It's kind of a nightmare. I can't seem to find out how to contact actual support either.

Doesn't appear to be as simple as the website leads on. Had I known that I would have experienced this much difficulty I would not have subscribed.

I have tried to get my domain taken care of so I can set email up and they have made it almost impossible to do so. Way to much to type….

Took forever to get the hosting even functioning. I felt like I was stuck in a hosting timewarp from 20 years ago.
