I am having trouble logging in
January 26, 2023

I am having trouble logging in. When I reset the password, I can log in one time and then if I try again it doesn't work. I spent 1 hour with your customer service and they whitelisted the IP assuring me that it will work, but here we are again.

Too many nickel and dime add-ons in the way. Would prefer a cleaner interface with the option to add additional services.

I purchased a ChoicePlus plan today, but cannot get access to the site. Chat and phone help have not been able to resolve the issue. It's been over 4 hours since the plan was purchased. Is there technical issues today?

I am not happy with the pricing differences from the home page and what I can upgrade to. Mostly down to what I can afford for the moment. Advertising Choice Plus and Plus at same price but all I could do was Plus after having Basic. I begrudgingly have to just run with it.

The support I received on Basic was great however, I had two things to get configured and did not know if I did them right, and was helped in the chat with both quickly and effectively. It is appreciated to say the very least.

The upfront document for guidance is not well-prepared, for example, some passages in the document are strangely duplicated and tutorial videos mentioned in the document cannot be found. Even I asked a staff through the Chat function, he/she only told me to search them myself in YouTube! What a service?!

Learning curve is fairly simple
December 22, 2022

Learning curve is fairly simple. Customer Service deserves 5 stars, they helped me via the chat at 1 am my time with a challenging issue. Everything was resolved within less than 30 minutes.

Just payed the service, could not even log in. Customer service in a chat sent a token for security reasons I just go and check the number on my mail and kicked out of the chat. Tried again chat explained I cant log in and there is an issue with some info that I havent even had a chance to confirm! So they escalate the issue and sent an email with 2 different case numbers in 1 email. Great! 5 min later I received an email confirming what it was to be confirmed automatically and not even a response from support about it. Not a Great begining for a first timer to be honest...

Nothing has worked as expected
January 20, 2023

Nothing has worked as expected. First, I wasn't able to manage the domain at all. Now, I'm not able to log into WordPress at all, I've gotten several confusing emails from Bluehost that make no sense. I've used Bluehost in the past with no problem, so this malfunction must have a reason. But I've contacted customer service three times, and no one can really explain what is going on, or have the patience to understand what I'm saying...that nothing has worked as it normally does so far from the moment I purchased this domain. I will probably end up cancelling this order as it's been a disaster.
