Bluehost

I've never made a blog from scratch before, and I am not well versed in the platform yet, but I do have faith that this platform will give me the tools I need to succeed. I am very fortunate to have found it. So far, everything is going very well! I would like more of a walk through added for the hopelessly confused and technology-challenged as I am.

Very bad experience. They hold your domain has hostage. Take day to resolve anything. Very difficult to get refund it has been more than 4 days. People are nice working there but there system & management are horrible.

The new user interface is a giant step backward. It's hard to find things intuitively, every time I log in I get an ad for things I've had for *years* before I can get to my dashboard, support has gone rapidly downhill in the last year or two. I used to love and endorse Bluehost, but I'm looking at new providers.

Loading speed is to slow 1 second slower then hostinger. Price is to high almost doubled hostinger. C panel outdated it needs a reskin. One star is what you get with old infrastructure and barely any upgrades.

As a novice I keep creating my website and then it just disappears and asks me to again create my website... Not impressed so far... Daniel
Worked out what was wrong. Really need to have a hold your hand step by step guide to follow.

There are a number of steps to complete to set up a website, and while each one is not difficult, all of them together are fairly overwhelming. Currently I'm trying to have my SSL certificate verified and it's not working and my email account will won't receive emails but can send them and my website still has a temporary domain name instead of the one I paid $100+ to buy. It's frustrating.

This is incredibly not user-friendly to set up. I have used GoDaddy previously and the setup was flawless. I have had my site up for over a month and still cannot accept orders, checkout or ship orders. I have never been so unhappy with a purchase before, honestly.

Upselling is annoying, plus, I have many (hundreds over the years) spam 'subscribers' which on three separate occasions you have failed to help me with, sometimes even saying that I am lying about them.

So, my first website on Bluehost crashed, and they were no help. Decided to switch to another company, but then my second site acts up after renewal—boom, hit with a $350 charge. Site's down, and their customer support doesn't have a clue. Asked for a refund, got an email saying, "Nope." How they get all those good reviews is beyond me. Bluehost feels like a total scam. Time to bring in the legal squad. ‍

I chose 2 stars because of how difficult the Word Press editor is when attempting, to edit web pages. You can't delete paragraphs of words and instead have to delete or backspace & when you hit the arrow keys the screen jumps around and it's impossible to edit just a few words vs the entire 'block', and that's just what I have in mind...
