I don't like Word Press very much, and the webmail is turning out to be a pain.

Having a very difficult time trying to create a simple blog page. I click "log into Wordpress" or My Site and neither go any where. This is a roadblocker for me and I am about to take my domain somewhere much more user friendly

This is marketed as much easier than in reality. Not user friendly at all.

Start up process is extremely convoluted and I cannot figure out how to get started on a new web site. I tried this in lieu of GoDaddy and I have godaddy which is an easier platform

In any business there will be a time where you will pick up the phone or email with a question. This company doesn't believe in that. They do answer the phone but they do not do anything to understand your needs/requests. I signed up with them only to find out their speed does not suffice my needs. I called to cancel 2 month later and was told no proration. Don't know if its even legal (doesn't matter they state this to you or not). I frankly don't remember reading anything like this, but what does matter is that person on the phone kept reading the same line every time I asked her this question. When I said can you ask a supervisor, she re-read their policy. I mean almost felt like they had a programmed robot. I am all for technology, but this useless approach is not how you win clients. Instead, you could have asked me what speed I needed to make this work and upsold something else. DUMB!

https://www.bluehost.com/resources/how-to-migrate-a-wordpress-website-to-a-new-server/

The instructions here are unclear about a number of things, but most especially, when it says "Import your database files. Go to the cPanel" and I look at the sidebar at https://my.bluehost.com/hosting/app#/, nothing about the list of things there says anything about cPanel. I had to guess that it was under "advanced".
