Very confusing on how to get started with wordpress.
I love learnig new skills. It's a bit challenging for me, but I'm up for the challenge
The site has not been user-friendly. For someone new to website hosting, I am unsure how to utilize the pages. First, my premium theme wouldn't work until I spoke with chat. Now, It says my SSL Certificate has an error and I cannot get to my page.
Chatters often do not understand me with my queries. Google workspace has not functioned and is slowing down the start of my business.
The theme doesn't seem to load in the Home page edit area, I've tried different themes, I've tried logging out and back in. Trying to get help on the chat is a really long process
The layout and general usability of the site is not very beginner friendly. There are no walkthroughs or directions for a beginner to be able to navigate this site easily. I had to do all types of research on how to upload my files and get the SSH/security measures in place.
Lots of pop ups. As a first time website builder blogger, not sure if I need any of the items offered.
Hate it would not recommend tech support is no help and I am trying to spend more money nothing but frustrated so far not even started on website yet
I've been at this for like 5 hours and am no closer than when I started
Installs won't work, themes won't activate. Poor services.
I tried to use and existing domain and I can't because I need a "UPP" and I don't know how to get it. I tried calling and got a message to enter a 6 digit number but I don't know where I was supposed to enter it. Seeing as how I was on the phone so I'm back to square one.
I have only had Bluehost for about a month and only been able to logon once. Every time I log on, I'm met with ads and requests to upgrade when I already paid a promotional price to have something basic like an SSL certificate included. Based on my experience so far, I would not recommend Bluehost for hosting a website. I can't even build my website without being solicited to upgrade and without having to go through a lot of hoops just to access my site (which I can't even do right now). Customer service is overwhelmed...with wait times well over 10 minutes.
I'm trying to set up my website, I've got all my code accessible on Github but I cant send it over, I'm try to configure my DNS settings but they're pretty opaque. Basically having a bad time.
It's not letting me sign in, I have to use the link in a email!
These days your site is not a plug and play in anyway. I have found that the navigation and the time that is taking me to utilize your product has been more difficult than it should be.
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.
