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.

Your chat app doesn't have a close feature and it's really aggressive. Not helpful.

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.

Updated review

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.

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.
