Bluehosting user review:Pros and Cons

First I just want to make sure you know that bluehosting doesn't provide vps hosting or dedicated yet, the reason I worte this review is that because bluehost is one of the best shared hosting companies I have used. And it was the first webhosting company I have ever used, below is my bluehost review

I chose bluehosting was mainly because it was recommended by a dear friend of mine. Still I did some researches, and after some researches done I found that they have pretty good user reviews,. It is very appealing and transparent for such an inexperienced person as me (back then). Thirteen years in the industry is also one of the reasons I joined. Generally, I found both the webpage and the ratings convincing and decided they would be good enough (affordable, first of all) for a start. What mostly attracted me was:

1. All the necessary standard features of a web host: cPanel, multiple database support, FTP, and email, to name just some;

2. Both diskspace and traffic are unlimited, as well as subdomains. (the limitations concern the number of databases - 50 each for MySQL and Postgre - and FTP and email accounts -1,000 and 2500, respectively);

3. I signed a 24 months contract, which is only .95/month (no setup fee, free domain included);

4. Useful support: quick and professional help available via e-mail, toll free phone line, or from the website life chat. When calling I was never put on hold for very long, and all my questions were successfully answered by the incredibly patient staff;

5. One of the main reasons I chose them is that the wordpress plugin I had was and still is working only with linux.

There are some cons, though:

First of all, the pricing of the short term (3 months) contract - for those interested $9.95 per month is a little bit too much for a shared hosting.

And for me personally, the complaints of some users about the quality of service - which I luckily have had no chance to confirm yet - as it comes to suspending/deleting their accounts without having provided a sensible enough reason for it (what allows for it is probably the vague clause stating that “Any violation found or fraudulent activity that system personnel deem inappropriate may have your account immediately terminated without notice and any recorded evidence reported to authorized persons.”) I must admit I’ve felt quite anxious having read them. Still, where there are many users, complaints are a natural thing to appear.

I would highly recommend BlueHosting for anyone who is looking for a realiable shared hosting provider, but if you are looking for a hosting service for a large site with a lot of traffic, you should consider VPS, you probably already know that.

It is unlikely that you are looking for a  shared hosting company, but if you are, click here to take a look for yourself.
