Absolutely horrible wait times on both chat and phone help. Yesterday over a hour and then went directly to supervisor's voicemail. Today, about 40 minutes. If I had known this before I never would have used Bluehost.

I puchased my domain yesterday, i had to enter my information in 5 times before it finally processed correctly, auto fills wouldnt fill and i was not able to enter info in. Finally once accepted I purchased email $288, after they were registered now I can not access and system doesnt recognize, then I purchased web theme for $69, Aspen. And of course it wont download, just spins the error message "try again in a few mins". 3 purchases for over $400 and 3 items that do not work and i can not access.

I get errors every time I try to log into WordPress. Bluehost keeps trying to have me create a blog. Overall this has been a horrible experience and I am so upset that I bought a domain through Bluehost because I feel like I just burned $120 for nothing.

Very poor customer service...
February 10, 2023

Very poor customer service...20-30 min wait times. Deceptive shopping cart tactics. Two calls to customer service to reassign a domain name and still isn't resolved.

So far, easy-peasy
January 11, 2023

So far, easy-peasy. I upgraded my plan and received a discount. I Needed tech support to log into account that had a generic domain. The young lady was patient, thorough and quite knowledgeable about her job and what I needed. She even was able to switch my domain name to one that I wanted and it was available. Not only available, she informed me that my upgrade came with a coupon for a free -for- a -year, domain name. Yayyyy.

Paid for Yoast SEO premium when signing up, Yoast SEO premium features remain unavailable to me despite a prolonged troubleshooting session. Website mentions Site Backup Pro tool is available in cpanel file area, no such tool is apparent in my cpanel.

It appears that you can only host websites created by wordpress.
I've already built a website that runs fine on my local host, but I can't upload it to your sevice

Having a difficult time setting up emails. I'm currently looking for the email server settings. They aren't easy to find. They need to be with the email creator.

I am having issues and questions
February 9, 2023

I am having issues and questions. I signed up for a subscription and now can't get any answers to those questions. The chat takes forever to get a human and I am frustrated with the process.
