Great hosting service

I will keep using it as it gives us security and safety, in few words peace of mind.

PROS

We work with this hosting service everyday with our landings pages that receive more than 10k visits per day and it behaves just great. It almost never crashes so we are pretty confident when we are not working.

CONS

what i like least could be the price, sometimes it gets very expensive depending on the traffic of the web.

Glad I Switched Over!

I've had no issues with Bluehost. Once you find your way around on the platform, Bluehost is very easy to use to host WordPress websites. Bluehost is one of the hosting heavy weights that's been around for years. They are very popular and very reliable. Even WordPress.org recommends them as a hosting company. I now regret that I tried a different hosting platform for my websites first.

PROS

I love that you can easily create subdomains with Bluehost. With subdomains, I can easily make as many landing pages as I want for online lead generation in my business.

CONS

I wish there were clearer instructions on how to add-on domains to Bluehost and then install WordPress onto those add on domains. I had to go over to YouTube so I can figure it out. It turned out to be easy to get this done, but it would have been nice for it to be clearer inside of Bluehost on how I could've done that myself instead of having to watch different YouTube tutorials to figure this out.

Reasons for switching to Bluehost

The renewal pricing for Siteground became too high to justify staying with them.

The Worst Hosting I've Ever Used

Terrible, trying to get a refund at the moment, it's like talking to a robot.

PROS

Nothing, I have nothing good to say about the company, steer well clear!

CONS

1. Anybody who has Avast anti virus will get blocked with Blacklist URL - they have an unresolved conflict with Avast. 2. My entire site just disappeared three times, the first two times I got it back, the third it came back but missing styling and other features, when I asked them to restore it, nobody did. 3. It's slow.

It'll be 6 years with Bluehost this year.

I've been with Bluehost for six years now with minimal issues. I haven't needed customer support in ages and everything runs seamlessly. I think I chose wisely.

PROS

One stop shopping. I have found that it offer everything I need and the customer service is excellent.

CONS

I get importing errors more than I'd like and I have to figure out why. Also, while there are a lot of add on opportunities it can get expensive quickly for a small business.

Reason for choosing Bluehost

I liked that it was tailored for businesses more so than a few others and I also liked the the servers are located in the U.S.

BlueHost - Quality hosting services

I have been used the Shared hosting services provided by Bluehost for hosting multiple small and medium scale websites on a single plan. Have observed good performance for all of the websites.

PROS

Bluehost offers a wide range of hosting plans for various levels of website development needs. The hosting services provided by Bluehost offer excellent performance in terms of server up-time. The best thing about Bluehost is the website loading time, which is very quick. Another feature which is of great help is that all annual plans at Bluehost come with Free SSL certificate. Finally when it comes to support, the customer support team at Bluehost provides good and timely support for any kind of technical issues.

CONS

Nothing specific in terms of dislike. Only word of caution is regarding the discounts offered on your first purchase. Bluehost offers heavy discounts on your first purchase (Generally for their 12-month, 24-month or 36-month plans). The discount offered may not be available when you renew the products. So carefully check the renewal prices before going ahead.

Don't waste your time with Bluehost!

Horrible I feel like Bluehost scammed me and suckered me with the services. For anyone looking for hosting of any kind I would NOT suggest Bluehost unless you like unreliable and nonexisting tech support.

PROS

After my experience, I can not say anything that I liked about Bluehost. I guess it is a cool name but a horrible service.

CONS

Constant server issues, site outages, admin dashboard connection issues, or outages. ZERO support from the company. When I was making the purchase the sales people were [sensitive content hidden] on the spot but when there were issues there was no help. Not even an update, nothing is perfect I get that but communicate with your customers.

Reason for choosing Bluehost

I had read online somewhere that Bluehost was the best for Woocommerce and I unfortunately chose to use them. Looking back I did not put much time and research into looking for a good provider. But I thought about what would be the worst that could happen and boy I never guessed this.

Bluehost is the Best Option for Me

PROS

The affordability and streamlined way it works with Wordpress made Bluehost the best choice for me

CONS

There were a couple times that I hit a snag with the hosting platform and it required a little work on my end to get the customer service I needed. However, I will say over the years, the support has gotten better for sure.

Great hosting platform for HTML/static webpages and Wordpress webpages

Positive, customer service is helpful and always available. Fairly price hosting platform with secure and up-to-date features for any level of experienced website creators.

PROS

WordPress is integrated into the hosting portal, which makes it easy for the developer to access advanced settings or other users to interact with non-advance, user-friendly settings to edit the website. SSL certificate is included with yearly service at no additionally cost.

CONS

Blue Host does not currently have the option to deploy dynamic web apps.

Reason for choosing Bluehost

SSL certificate is always included in annual cost, even after promotional period is over.

Reasons for switching to Bluehost

The yearly cost dramatically increases after promotional period is over, and SSL certificates are not included in annual cost.

10+ years as a customer, Bluehost is terrible!

Bluehost used to be a great company with US-based support teams. Over the years they have slowly outsourced more of their operations overseas and everything from their Cpanel interface to customer support have become terrible.Bluehost is THE most expensive hosting plan I've ever seen... not in terms of money, but in terms of wasted time, headaches, idle developer hours and outages. Do not use them!

PROS

After 10+ years of being a customer I no longer have anything positive to say about Bluehost. If the switching costs weren't so high, I'd be gone in a heartbeat.

CONS

I have been a Bluehost customer for more than 10 years now. Their service has slowly gotten worse and worse. The Cpanel user experience is horrendous. There are error and time out messages constantly. The chat support is terrible. I frequently am on the chat for an hour with no resolution to my issue. Also they are changing their hosting plans fairly regularly and make it unclear about whether they require you to upgrade or not (they send you a vague email saying your account MAY be affected). It's an all around terrible experience... if I didn't have so many sites hosted on my account, I'd switch hosting providers in a heartbeat.

Reason for choosing Bluehost

I chose Bluehost 10 years ago because it was recommended to me by a trusted friend.

Bluehost Hosting is great value

We have been with Bluehost for years for a reason, best value, best hosting, best overall support.

PROS

Bluehost is one of the best value for web hosting out there and we also especially like their support team, they always resolved every issue for us, if a support team member didn't have the answer, they always found someone else to help and resolve the issue with one ticket.

CONS

Need more control on customer email spamming, we had issues before from some companies putting us on a blackmail list simply because some of Bluehost customers used their email for spamming. We hope more spam control is installed in the future.

Reason for choosing Bluehost

After comparing other hosting companies Bluehost was just the overall winner for value and services

Solid web hosting company

PROS

I have used Bluehost for the past 4-5 years as the hosting service for my business website. The best thing is it’s integration with Wordpress. I was able to build my website easily and if I’ve ever encountered issues, the customer service has always been prompt and effective. I currently host a few different websites with Bluehost with no complaints!

CONS

It took a little bit of a learning curve to initially set up and figure out the interface, especially because I already had a domain that I purchased elsewhere. I think it would have been simpler if I had purchased the domain initially from Bluehost and didn’t have to transfer it over.

Bluehost for Beginners

Web presence is crucial, and Bluehost simply makes it more painless to create that presence.

PROS

Bluehost makes it easy to start a website. It’s not the very cheapest around, but that’s not a bad thing, because the value for the money is what matters. Ease of use and installation, quick help whenever necessary, strong wordpress integration, and beautiful presentation all make this software worth the buy for those that really have no idea what they’re doing.

CONS

I wish that customer service was a bit more clear. They were helpful with my problems so far, but I didn’t always understand all the things they were doing to solve those problems. This is only an issue because understanding the process more would help me solve problems on my own.

My Number 1 Web Hosting Company

Their recurring monthly and annually plans are rational. They price them according to the amount of benefits that a user could get. Not like some other web hosting services that would charge higher with little benefits. I really love their Managed WordPress plan, it's the best for me and that's what I use. All thanks to Bluehost.

PROS

They offer numerous web hosting types including Shared hosting, which allows users to get a domain name, and install WordPress from their cpanel, in less than 5 minutes.

CONS

Their customer service wasn't that active nor attentive, but I'm giving them 5 stars because I've tried different web hosting services like namecheap, iPages and etc, and I guess for me, Bluehost is the best.

Reasons for switching to Bluehost

000webhost is the worst web hosting company that I've used, bad servers, bad management and etc. So I got to switch from there to Bluehost.
