I cannot get the hosting service for my existing domain even though I selected "use existing domain" when I bought the hosting plan.

I am extremely frustrated with trying to set up a simple WP blog. I do not understand how WP and Bluehost interface and find myself working on both platforms and getting almost nowhere.

I can't figure out how to find pages, how to change them once I chose a template, and how to get my blog up and running. It is very frustrating and I am fairly computer literate.

This is very confusing. I don't know how to check my email. I didn't select my username but now I can't change it. I can't connect my site to wordpress. Nothing is really going right so far.

I used professional services to help migrate my website. There is a piece missing, and yesterday, I tried for over an hour to get someone to help resolve it to no avail. Only being able to use chat and not having someone I can contact directly during migration is a terrible experience.
I am trying again this morning to get this done and no one seems to want to help.

Having a difficult time understanding how to best work with Wordpress. From within Wordpress or within Bluehost. Definitely not intuitive

I am new to trying to set up my own website. It has been incredibly frustrating trying to connect the domain name to bluehost. I feel like I spent $100 for nothing.

Wordpress keeps asking me to log in but will not accept my username or password. Then i followed your links to customize the theme. I did that. Yet my home page does not look anything like what I designed. Your chat support was no help.

Somehow, while checking available domain names, I typed my desired domain name to check the availability and my screen displayed that it was available. I chose the continue button, was then transferred to the account, package and payment screen. After filling out this page, I clicked submit, then clicked create account on the next page. On the next page is when I noticed the mistake in the domain name. The name I checked availability on and chose was not the name displayed in the username field. Of course I couldn't change the username so I chose my password and hoped there was a way to fix it inside of Bluehost. I looked around and eventually decided to start a chat with Prajwal. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. The original domain name I desired was apparently occupied. I had another option, Prajwal secured it for me and I will be calling back when I get off work to change the primary domain name. The experiences that I have had with website customer service departments has not been the best but this time was definitely different. I appreciate Prajwal and his help!
