I find it hard to know where things are- the layout could be better and more user friendly
For a beginner is it a bit overwhelming all the info to go through in order to get things up and running..
Jus trying to learn not very good with computers but getting better as we speak
I don't like Word Press very much, and the webmail is turning out to be a pain.
Unable to log into wordpress. Having an error message. Cannot get an agent to assist.
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
I'm not sure what services I have been signed up for but I don't want them and there is not an option to change aything
Customer service reps don't know how to do anything
This is marketed as much easier than in reality. Not user friendly at all.

I'm not quite finished setting up and need to figure out what I've done wrong.
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
I have been having trouble with setting up the site I am quite computer savy and I am still having difficulties
Kind of confused about some of the ways to us the website
A lot to go thru here. Taking it slow. Probably deserve more stars...
I'm trying to create a website that is NOT a blog. This is clearly not intuitive!
The instructions were accurate and easy to follow.
Blue host has been very helpful especially with the tutorials and step by step instructions
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!

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".
Answer: NO - please do not go with Bluehost, it will save you a lot of hassle. They have the worst customer service and take your accounts offline just so you upgrade for more money even though the thresholds were not met. This means they are just running a scam by taking your websites offline and then offering the solution to get them back online by paying more money to them. My websites were down for 6 days and I've lost hundreds of dollars in income, have to pay my developers for all the work they did and NONE of it will be refunded by Bluehost. I migrated everything away from them and they do not even want to refund my sign-up costs. It is a total scam run but incapable and money-grabbing people whereas the CEO of Endurance group Jeff Fox made $10.000.000 in 2019 alone and the CEO of Bluehost Suhaib Zaheer $2.300.000. Be aware you do not get scammed by them, I've warned you. They are an evil company run by people with zero morals. I am going to report their theft to the FTC, BBB, and law enforcement. I will not go down without a fight and they will regret stealing from me and other affiliates as their reputation sinks in the toilet.
