BlueHost Review

Well, the 4-th is just cause i don't know any best value hosting :) The live chat support really helps (thanks guys!)

I run the site www.givewhileyoushop.org on bluehost and they're great. Their live chat support seems to be available 24/7. Their plans are very good for the price, with many features that other hosts don't even offer even if you paid. I would definitely recommend!

They are so nice to talk too, and they take time and listen to me. I'm a noob to the website hosting field and they have helped me allot.

I have had numerous problems with "cpu exceeds errors" running programs like WordPress which makes my website worthless. I battled with technical support (if you really want to call it that) for a month due not being able to send email notification from a Bluehost email server. With out email notifications my forum is worthless. I experienced down times of up to 6 hours which makes my websites worthless. If you are smart stay away from Bluehost. The only good thing I can say about Bluehost is my contract is over and I can now find a decent web hosting company.

After reading reviews on this forum, I tried to get a Bluehost account. I went to the Chat section and asked about their PHP compatibility. Sales Support said they would consult with their Tech Advisor. They left me on hold and didn't get back to me in the chatroom. I called Sales and asked them the same question. Sales hung up on me. Bluehost could indeed be a great webhost, but Sales was terrible. N/A regarding webhosting as I never go past Sales to open an account. When I called, the heavy foreign accent of phone support led me to believe they outsource phone support who are not knowledgeable to sell Bluehost accounts.

Yes, their customer and tech. support people are great, but they have a LOT of down time. They seem to constantly be having server problems!! From that perspective, I am disappointed in their service.

I've used a number of hosting companies in the past and BlueHost has been by far the least hassle. I've now stuck with them for over 2 years and host all my client's sites with them too. Their tech support is knowledgable (I'm a Sys Admin myself so they wouldn't get BS past me). Their package is very feature rich for the money and you have full control over your entire package, should you want it (DNS records/SSH access/FTP client setup/loads more). The only real problem I have with them is the new version of cPanel they installed recently, which is slower than the old version. They have suffered from a few outages over the couple of yeas I've been with them, but they are never for long and they always send a mail to let you know what happened, unlike a lot of places which just claim nothing was wrong. I would definately recommend them to anyone, and do to all my customers.

I've tried many hosting companies over the last 3 years. Bluehost seems to be the best of them. Great features, high reliability, no downtimes, great support.

I have one website with bluehost and it is easy to set up with great fantastico packages. However I wanted to set up another website and the checkout told me my account was unverified. 2 days of messages between myself and bluehost "customer service" was unable to resolve the issue so I am now looking elsewhere.

I am researching to find a host for my first web site. There are so may choices; so I have been emailing questions to many hosts just to get a feel for their support capabilities. Bluehost consistently refers me to an online FAQ even thought the FAQ is obviously not responsive to my question. There seems to be a computer or maybe a farmer in Pakistan answering the questions.
