I registered for a new website, but keep getting "deprecated" messages when I attempt to set up the site. Very confused.

It's extremely hard to build a beautifully looking website and use all the other functions. Things like choosing the size of the boxes should come standard. Choosing the character type. Everything is not intuitive at all. I am very disappointed, i thought your service would have been better. I can't connect it to adsense, i don't find any html section, so this has been a total waste of my money. Extremely unsatisfied.

Bluehost has been one of the least intuitive user experiences of my life. I am an IT professional and find it so incredibly confusing to use. There is an inconsistent experience between web and mobile versions. I just had to go through the site creation process to get to my account's homepage. There was no other way! And there's no logout link/button anywhere. Furthermore, the wordpress interface is also hard to use. I can't believe the internet says this is the best place to run a wordpress site - not for someone who is trying to get started with little learning curve.

The instructions for setting up existing domains are unclear and I am currently in a loop of attempting to add a domain and it constantly loops between two pages rather than going to the next step in the process (without an error message)

The server can never find me, I have to press submit 3 times with the same username and password to log in and my wordpress always logs into an old wordpress that I had deactivated by bluehost.

It took me several days to even make a purchase on Bluehost because I was met with a ton of error codes. I should have taken that as a warning sign. When my purchase finally went through, my website now has tons of issues. I can't create my website, I can't log into WordPress...I literally can't do any of the things that I'm paying for. When I've reached out to support, they've made me repeat myself over and over and over again, only to leave the issue unresolved.

I am completely frustrated!
January 26, 2023

I am completely frustrated! Nothing is the same as the course that I am trying to follow. I can't find the themes that were suggested and I don't know if I am working with bluehost or wordpress or both. I already had the computer change my domain name and I was charged $15 instead of the promotional $11.88 for the privacy policy.
