Don't Even Bother

Tried this with two really simple websites (one only has a single page!) and both failed
stuck at Packaging uploads
By 
My website is WordPress basic website with blog and very few uploads. I checked Migration Plugin upload directory where all ZIP packages are: for DB, for Pluggins and for UPLOADS. All of them were closed 1 hour ago but plugin progress is still stuck at the last task and it wont finish. How long should I wait?? It says : Packaging Uploads...
Just don't use it

It's faulty and does not work and left you with troubles!
As others have said, it doesn't work

All I get from this plugin in a message saying "Something went wrong. Try again later."
Doesn't work
By 
Thanks for the buggy ride. I tried it on three sites and I can't get it to work on any of them. So much for an easy way to move a site to Bluehost. I love their hosting. This plug in - not so much. Don't waste your time and effort.
Terrible
By 
This is simply terrible. Tried this plugin with a simple website, with a couple of plain html pages and it simply doesn't work. The biggest surprise to me is how come Bluehost is listed on the recommended hosting services for wordpress.
This comment is not only about the plugin. Many small details while dealing with the admin settings on Bluehost page are also non-intuitive or frustrating by the lack of options. This plugin is just a small example of the experience the user will have with Bluehost... Stay away from Bluehost!
Really Worst Plugin

The plugin is not working at all.
Bluehost Site Migrator Plugin

Don't bother, it doesn't work. I followed the instructions exactly. Three hours after starting the process, I was still staring at the "Cloning your website" screen, wondering if it would ever finish packaging the uploads and start transferring my website. I can't tell you if it did or not because I have to leave for work. What a waste of time.
Bluehost is the worst hosting I've seen in my life
By 
Bluehost is the worst hosting I've seen in my life, I paid for three years, used it for 6 months, the site went down and they couldn't restore it. They can't solve the problem, they don't refund the money. When you see the name Bluehost, run away. dfx.uuk.mybluehost.me – this is my main domain on Bluehost (so that Bluehost employees do not write that my review is anonymous).
Not working
