So, after doing plenty of review here and elsewhere, it seems Bluehost may not be a great option. I have found it to be difficult to use and to learn (starting as a complete newbie and learning as I go). Here's a few questions I had I am not finding answers to in searching so far:

1. I set up my initial bluehost account with a domain I don't use anymore, the site didn't take off and I didn't continue with it. But now my cPanel account name is an amalgamation of a domain I don't use now. Bluehost tells me I cannot change this. Is this nitpicking on my part that it is a domain/user that reflects what my site/pursuit is about? How would you go about changing it? Consider me a little OCD on wanting it to reflect more a brand/myself as the main user/etc.

2. I am starting a Substack, and could point a domain I have towards that. Then until I truly need hosting for other purposes, I could buy hosting elsewhere. My Bluehost contract renews in 2027. What are my chances of getting a refund if I ask for one and cancel early? Has anyone done that successfully?

Thanks everyone, and I appreciate the input.

I recently built my first WordPress website, hosted with Bluehost, and as a beginner (sorry for stupid questions), I’m working on setting up email via cPanel webmail. However, my emails to Outlook addresses keep going to spam. Should I consider other tools for sending email instead of using cPanel directly? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
