I purchased an account + domain yesterday at 10:30 AM and still have not been able to use it. They had a system glitch when I was creating my account that loaded another domain as my primary.
Unable to remove this myself, I called CS at 10:40 AM and was told nothing could be done for another two hours. I waited more than two hours and called back at 6:00 PM. This time I was told that it would take up to 72 hours for this to be resolved.
It is now 1:30 PM the following day and I am still unable to use my account. I would have gone with another host if I knew the company cared so little about resolving customer issues.

Online chat folks are mostly slow and unhelpful. Just links to articles that aren't relevant or that I found on my own. (One - Vineeta - was helpful).

I have not been able to get the Elementor Templates to work in WordPress and I had to manually change the url (adding "www") in order to get WordPress to even be available.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I accidently forgot my password 10 mins after paying for my Google Workspace for my Business email. Google wont reset it since I paid for the service through a 3rd party "you guys" and can't confirm my identity. Also when I talked to Bluehost customer service, the first employee told me that it will be resolved in 2 days. That was 3 days ago and yesterday I talked to a different employee told me it would be another 2 days while we work on this sensitive issue. Today will be day 4 all i want is my password to be reset for my google workspace so I can review some time sensitive documents for my business

UI is terrible
April 6, 2023

UI is terrible. This isn't any easier than hand-editing. The number of additional banners is ridiculous and distracting.

On Friday I made a purchase of one of their packages, for the afternoon when I wanted to link to WordPress does not allow me to enter because it says it is a risk page that can steal my information.

I have attempted to transfer some domains. The website does not seem to be working. I asked an agent to check. They said all is well, but nothing has happened.
