Sometimes it's difficult to find settings because you change the interface so often.

I continue to get customers who can't access my site and purchase my books. My web person is frustrated with your customer service and attention to things like SSL certificates.

Support wasn't helpful and very rude. Domain worked perfectly and then all of a sudden it didn't work with the redirect properly. Support blamed it on my host, which wasn't the issue. Transferred my domain to GoDaddy instead.

We pay quite a bit for our hosting plan relative to the traffic we get and features/functionality we have on our site, and both our website load times and domain email receipt are painfully slow.

I should not have to search for the path to sign in. Any emails directed at o me offering a discount should allow me to sign in.

The ease of use for Wordpress is not great. There was no uninstall button which there should have been but rather a remove Wordpress. It doesn't even state that if Wordpress is hosted on the cPanel or not. I looked in the cPanel Public HTML and saw pieces of Wordpress but no main files.

Wouldn't mind the add for privacy protection so much if the site was as easy to use as it used to be. It's also much less reliable hosting than it used to be. Emails don't always get forwarded and users often get a misdirected request error when accessing my site.

I've been trying to merge 2 accounts. I was on a call with someone and it was cut off. Struggling to get this taken care of on my own. Had a long wait for a representative so not going to call back.

It's been a bit frustrating. I have to reach out to instate an SSL on every website, regardless of the amount of time that has passed after purchased. The sites are on the slow side, even at top tier :(

I don't like having to learn a new layout. I really don't like the constant pop-ups selling me add ons. If I didn't have so many accounts with bluehost I would switch.
