Automatic plugins, pre-installed and popping again and again even after deleting them, is very annoying.

The customer see vice is just not existent. I am for hours waiting for someone to help me on the chat. You say 24/7 customer service, but is a lie.

I'm using BlueHost because I need to buy a domain. But getting access, creating an account is VERY frustrating! I was assigned a temporary domain name by a customer service representative (CSR) to create my account. Now I need to remove that temporary domain to create space for the one I'm trying to buy. But I can't do that. So I used the chat function for help, but the CSR there has NO IDEA what she's doing, almost killed my entire account. And I can't transfer to a new rep. I've even tried logging out and back into my account - the CSR rep is still there! I've asked to be transfered to another CSR. I've asked her to end the call. I can't get rid of her. The seller wants to give me the domain but I don't have a place to put it. FRUSTRATING

I've written a website before, by comparison, using Bluehost and Wordpress is like pulling hens teeth. I can't remember when I was last so angry. I've wasted 1.5 days on this already and have apparently lost off of yesterday's work. All you're interested in is taking the money and upselling.

The domain registration was a bit confusing, ended up with an auto-assigned domain and then switching to my preferred domain was a whole process, but Shamitha got it sorted.

Well as soon as I linked my domain name the entire dashboard for wordpress no longer loads and the window will time out every time, barring me from any access to my site.

I'll adjust rating once its taken care of.

I have had constant problems logging into my domain, maintaining a password, and editing my site. I believe something about my credentials has made it harder to process my information for some reason. I received assistance early on with logging in, although they did make it so I can now log in, I wasn't told why it sometimes doesn't work and still have not been able to edit at all.

I'm still learning, as I've never created a website before, and this can be a little confusing, but once I learn it better, I think it will be great. I am not using the service to design the website for me, as it costs money, and I've just been laid off of my job.

The site says you can purchase bluehost before you choose a domain which I did. It does'nt tell you that if you do, you will be stuck with a wierd username and you have to call in to have your purchased domain manually switched. Then I was told this wouldn't work, that I have to wait 100 hours before domains can be switched and I had to pay for the domain because because I chose it after? Also, Even when I press the i'm finished in the chat box or empty the cache on my computer I still have to completely refresh the site for the chat box to disappear. I am very hopeful that once I'm finished with the beginning setup that things will go more smoothly.

I asked for help concerning the start up of my blog because it claims I don't have an SSL certificate when I purchased the basic hosting plan yesterday. There was an estimated wait time of less than a minute, yet over an hour later I still have not been assisted.
