Bluehost Reviews


Author:Bobby Augilar
One of the leading hosting providers, Blue Host has been in business since 1996. Currently boasting a roster of over 300,000 sites, they're apparently doing something right. Along with exceptional tech support, they're notorious for offering advanced features and options that are usually only found with much larger companies.
What's good about Bluehost?

The top reason why BlueHost stood out from other web hosting companies is because of their unlimited disk storage, bandwidth transfer, and number of addon domain. In other words, you can host ALL YOUR WEBSITES in just one single web hosting account. That's just $6.95/mo hosting expenses for all your websites.
Features

BlueHost's professional hosting package includes Unlimited disk space and Unlimited site transfer. This plan includes CGI-BIN, PHP, PERL, FrontPage, Ruby, anonymous FTP and much more. Many website plug-in scripts are also included. Some of these scripts include: Guestbook, chat, bloggers and web auctions. There are also several ecommerce features which include: SSL and a shopping cart among others. Each hosting package is hosted using high quality hosting equipment in order to provide powerful and reliable hosting services. The hosting plan provides an even greater value with their free site promotion tools which are search engine submission, search keyword analyzer and a search engine position report. Customers would be hard pressed to find a greater value at another web hosting company.
PRICE

Bluehost's reliable hosting options come at very reasonable prices. Plans include a generous amount of disk space and a high monthly transfer allowance. You also get a free domain, free setup, free domain privacy registration (that's a $9 savings!), You're also allowed to host an unlimited amount of domains, all under the same account, for no additional fees. To ensure your satisfaction, they also offer a 30-day money back guarantee and 24/7 tech support with an average response time of under 2 minutes.
Reliability

Thankfully, we can report that our Bluehost test site experienced excellent reliability. We only detected one short 30-minute outage during our 3-month monitoring period. While we would have preferred no downtime at all, the 30 minutes represents only a very small percentage of the total, and our overall uptime during the 3 months was in excess of the 'magic' 99.9% that is often quoted by other web hosts.
Support

From the support page, customers can log in to their account. By doing so they are able to manage their contact information and personal preferences. One can also view their support ticket history or submit a new ticket. The support page also offers a nice knowledgebase with articles that answer many questions and can provide an excellent guide for hosting clients. For new clients without a web address, BlueHost will be there to help you get set up. And remember, you get a free domain name with their hosting plan. For customers who are transferring from another host, BlueHost will be glad to help them set up their domain name for use on BlueHost and much more!
Conclusion

All in All, Bluehost is the best choice web hosting for your business and your personal needs. They offer a plethora of software that makes building a website a cinch, plus their support staff is one of the most knowledgeable in the industry. They also have the highest reliability rating of any web host, and their web hosting performance is top notch. For the second year in a row, Bluehost reigns over the competition and received the highest recommendation of a web hosting service.
