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.

Bluehost is a good low cost hosting solution

Have been using bluehost for around 12 years now. Has improved leaps and bounds.

PROS

1. Its cheap 2. The customer support is top notch. It is unfortunate that one needs to contact the customer support for as many things as one needs to , for. e.g approving web forms for sending emails . That said, the support is efficient and it gets it dine fairly quickly

CONS

1. Quality of Email services offered alongside the hosting packages are not as good as they should be 2. Mailing from the websites forms or via CTAs is not as straightforward as one would like

Reason for choosing Bluehost

Bluehost offers better control on the hosting with a competitive pricing

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.
