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. This isn't any easier than hand-editing. The number of additional banners is ridiculous and distracting.
So far so good.still learning to navigate...thanks for all the help!
DNS issues from the very start. I don't even know what I'm doing. I can't access WordPress at all.
Everything is laid out so well and clear. Easy to read.
The response time and answers from the chat session are horrible to say the least. I have had two chat session about the same issue and never received a response that makes sense to me.
Just not finding it as user friendly as I had hoped.
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.

Answer: NO - please do not go with Bluehost, it will save you a lot of hassle. They have the worst customer service and take your accounts offline just so you upgrade for more money even though the thresholds were not met. This means they are just running a scam by taking your websites offline and then offering the solution to get them back online by paying more money to them. My websites were down for 6 days and I've lost hundreds of dollars in income, have to pay my developers for all the work they did and NONE of it will be refunded by Bluehost. I migrated everything away from them and they do not even want to refund my sign-up costs. It is a total scam run but incapable and money-grabbing people whereas the CEO of Endurance group Jeff Fox made $10.000.000 in 2019 alone and the CEO of Bluehost Suhaib Zaheer $2.300.000. Be aware you do not get scammed by them, I've warned you. They are an evil company run by people with zero morals. I am going to report their theft to the FTC, BBB, and law enforcement. I will not go down without a fight and they will regret stealing from me and other affiliates as their reputation sinks in the toilet.
