I am hopelessly lost
April 25, 2023

I am hopelessly lost. I can't make anything happen. I can't find help for WORD PRESS. Only help for Blue host. I can't tell how they are even related. I can't change the theme it gave me, I can't change the title or find anything that even points that way. I am overwhelmed with the complexity and the buy this, buy that with no directions of where to go or how to get there.

It's nearly impossible to find anything, which should be very easy.

My experience has been nothing but frustrating at this point. I try to use the site builder tools and it gives me an SSL certificate error. Please have someone contact me. Your chat tool is awful and is buggy. What is going on there?

There was an error processing my order and I lost a week of work because I have to wait until my domain is processed for someone to correct it.

I believed Bluehost had better options for website building. It is not easy to make changes once you have begun. I am definitely looking at getting my money back. I have used Fatcow.com and Namecheap for other sites and they were easier or about the same and I am paying much more.

This is my second hosting account with Bluehost, and it just works! Never had an issue and I am so glad I moved all my websites away from the very famous and more expensive hosting companies that have terrible customer service and technical support. I recommend Bluehost to all my clients.

Been in the website business for over 30 years and I'm trying to get my wide up and running with the blogging website. So far, the website unavailable page on your sign SUCKS - I ended up getting a site that I did not want - because I was too quick to click on the shopping cart that looked like the site I wanted - page was extremely confusing - probably by design of course.
If I could have given you zero stars - I would have- but I had to give you one undeserved start.
I was told by sales that everything would be up and running as soon as I purchased the plan - so far it's been over 2 hours and I can't even put up a home page - great job guys - this sucks and my wife has lost all faith in me in putting up a home page... Thanks for putting me in the dog house.

I paid to join Bluehost through Michelle Schroeder's site. I paid for everything to have a website and I'm not able to get any help. The chat box does not offer help. Plus I keep getting emails about joining when I already joined, but I didn't get an email about that. No welcome to Bluehost or anything. I'm feeling pretty abandoned right now and very disappointed.
