It's frustrating trying to use the chat feature because I have to wait for so long, and then if I don't respond right away, the chat closes

Stop running ads on the opening page. I've been with Bluehost for over 10 years - I don't need to be nudged and hounded every time I login

Having to wait 20 minutes for a response from live chat consultant is a little ridiculous, especially since the chat will auto terminate if I don't respond within 2 minutes...

Your first page demands a response before your clients can move onto services... where they wish to go. That page is a sales offer and most people will be in a hurry. You present the optional button for a link to purchase in a first position — as large, dominant, first and blue. In order to avoid a purchase mistake you must notice the very much smaller black font beneath the big blue button. It's a nuisance and purposefully deceptive to make another buck. We paid our money... show a little respect and taste. I came to you by choice because I have a higher opinion of you than you seem to have of yourself.

Impossible to contact customer service by simple email. When calling the phone number, I have yet to have someone get back to me on a reasonable amount of time. Very, very frustrated with my bluehost experience thus far.

When you changed over to a new billing system last year, all history of past bills was apparently lost. I need this info for filing my taxes.

It's too much to get to the domain tools. I am literally clicking a link instead of a button on the panel or something. It's just too much, and why am I paying an extra 50 a year? I don't understand this at all.

It's too hard to get to the site to do my tasks without having to go through captcha (why you should require a human user, anyway?) and ratings and now this feedback.

The chat window is blocking the drop down menu on my Mac so I can't log off. Also, the chat icon is blocking this box as I try to type on my phone. Argh!

I was sent an email with a link to give me step by step instructions. But I have to log off first. For now, when I hit the link, I get a page that says How to create and manage a mailbox. But there are no instructions.
