Setup is confusing and not at all intuitive. Every other website builder/host I've used has been easier.

Nothing is working!
December 2, 2022

Nothing is working! I have never built a website before but I'm also not a complete idiot. I have no idea if I'm on wordpress or bluehost and how they interact. I create a web page and have it looking exactly how i want it, save it, then when I preview it, it's completely different! I'm also trying to set up payments on woocommerce, and when I try to "finalize", it takes me to a blank page. I don't even know where or who to contact for support. This has been the most frustrating few hours of my life!

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

Superstart Delux Technician

Chethan was way beyond knowledgeable. They were very patient and not only explained things for me, but gave me URL's to assist. They are the reason I still use Bluehost.

When people leave ratings, they don't want to be forced to leave a written review in addition. So because of that, I have moved my initial five-star rating to 2

Great customer service
October 23, 2022

I needed to transfer a domain from a music platform — which proved quite tricky. The Bluehost customer representative dug into the causes for the problems, sorted them out, and by the end of the conversation, the domain was into my Bluehost acount.

Much appreciated!

I've had two situations in the last week that happened because of my own actions. Both times I called the representative was very helpful and solved my problem quickly. It's very nice to be able to actually talk to someone relatively quickly and the primary reason I have bought my hosting with blue host.

Setting up seems so complicated
November 22, 2022

Setting up seems so complicated. I used SITE123 for another website and it seemed like a breeze. I wish I could understand all the commands and how they function without having to spend hours trying. Switching back and forth from WordPress and Bluehost makes it a little more confusing. I'll keep trying nonetheless.
