Introduction of Bluehost

Bluehost is one of the internet’s most experienced personal and business web hosting companies on the internet. According to our latest survey and comments from our past readers, their web hosting offers the most consistent performance especially during peak time. While other web hosts that we reviewed are slower during the day, they are always consistent with their speed. Bluehost also has extremely knowledgeable and friendly staffs that are willing to assist you even if they are the simplest of problems. We called when we didn’t now how to use FrontPage to upload a site and when we linked the pictures using the wrong path name. While the other web hosting companies refused to help claiming it was too technical Bluehost assisted us. For the second year in the row, Bluehost has been recommended as our top choice for web hosting because of their commitment to quality support, superior uptime, fast performance, and massive features that comes preloaded into our accounts.

Pricing & Cost Effectiveness of Bluehost

Bluehost currently charges $6.95 per year for web hosting if you prepay for 2 years and $7.95 if you prepay for 1 year with free setup and domain name. While other web hosting companies have lowered their pricing, Bluehost has always had the same price since they started as a web hosting company. It is how they are able to keep the quality of their hosting high, while other companies have lowered the quality of their web hosting because they rather focus on increasing the quantity of customers they have rather than on the quality of their web hosting. The pricing is very competitive in the industry because it covers the cost of the domain name and a lot of features are included such as the Fantastico suite and E-Commerce shopping cart and Blog software. The pricing also includes 24 hours technical support 7 days a week which is better than all of the hosts we have reviewed.

Bluehost Customer Relations

The customer service we have received from Bluehost has been exceptional. Whenever we called support whether it was at 3:00 AM at night or 12:00 PM in the afternoon, we were always able to get a hold of a technician while holding for less than a minute. The staffs were also very knowledgeable and they were always able to assist us from simple questions to high complex questions. They were very straight to the point. They even assisted us in setting up a Message Forums script when we had over fifteen questions on trying to install the software.  Overall, we the company is very well managed considering the level of support we received for the little money that we paid monthly for their web hosting.

Bluehost Features & Control Panel Design

Bluehost utilizes the latest version of Cpanel in their web hosting with the plenty of software add-ons including Fantastico. This software is a graphical user interface tool that makes managing a website a piece of cake. They include a plethora of scripts from blog to chat to help desk, which can all be installed with a click of a button. The CPanel isn’t just the standard setup, but it is a fully loaded Cpanel with a lot of Add-on software. A value added feature is Telnet access, which is included free with their web hosting. A lot of business web hosting companies usually charge for this feature.
