4.0 stars BLUEHOST IS MY ONLY CHOICE!
  Reviewed on 11/19/2009 by Teddy
I have been hosting websites with Bluehost since year 2004 and I have no problem with them at all. The last time I contacted them was in year 2004 as I need clarification on some presell questions and that’s all. Bluehost is definitely recommended!

4.0 stars NO PROBLEMS
  Reviewed on 11/18/2009 by Todd, From USA
I have been using BlueHost almost from day one... (it was their first week when I opened my account with them). I have had no problems very little down time, I did have my account suspended once due to spam/crap on my site used for fishing. Tech support helped me get it removed and get back running. I have a low trafic site so I dont want to rate trafic... Cpanel and tons of scripts to get you started.

4.0 stars THEY ARE HONEST ABOUT THEIR REFUND POLICY
  Reviewed on 11/18/2009 by Pallab, From India
I am searching for a cheap host with a fast server. Wanted to try Bluehost, so signed up today. Wasn't satisfied. So requested refund. To my surprise within a couple of hours the refund was in my paypal account. And it would have been faster had I not taken 90 mins to reply to their email (identity verification). So all I can say is that give it a try. It's quite cheap and there is always the money back option if you aren't satisfied.

4.0 stars VERY HAPPY WITH MY ACCOUNT
  Reviewed on 11/17/2009 by Jared B, From Salt Lake City, UT USA
I recently signed up for an account at Bluehost, after a not-so-good experience with WebHostingPad. I used a coupon/referral to get 2 years for service for $3.95/mo, which is a BARGAIN. I haven't had any problems yet! I contacted tech support to get shell access, which they did for me at 3AM. I also had some questions about certain features. The tech support guy was very knowledgable, and available on a Saturday (with no waiting!!! :D:D:D) Cpanel is very easy to use, and I can also use SCP, SFTP, FTP, HTTP, Cpanel File manager, SSH, etc. I recommend Bluehost to anyone!

4.0 stars 10+
  Reviewed on 11/17/2009 by Garrett, From Texas
I am currently hosting about 10 websites with Bluehost. As with any company you are going to have some problems. I have only had a couple of times where I have had to threaten to take my business else where for them to get their act together. I would recommend them to people that want to host a fun site. All my "mission critical" sites are hosted on dedicated servers.

4.0 stars WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FOR THE PRICE?
  Reviewed on 11/16/2009 by R, From San Francisco
uehost has a great price, but you get what you pay for. When it comes down to what counts -- day in, day out uptime -- it falls way short of anything you can count on for business purposes, let alone web commerce. Signing up is straightforward. From there on out, things are ok . . . until they're not ok. The admin interface is the kludgey cPanel, the webmail interfaces are adequate. But you don't use those often, so no big deal. Tech support is available by chat, which beats the hell out of sending trouble tickets off into the ether, but ultimately the first line support relies on the tried and true "10 stupid user tricks" model. Okay, you don't need tech support often. But, when the server your site is on gets overloaded, and again when it gets upgraded, just go to the beach, the mountains, the mall, wherever, because your site and email won't be back until they're back. What do you expect for the price?

4.0 stars SATISFIED CUSTOMER FOR 2YRS.
  Reviewed on 11/15/2009 by Tibbst, From Dallas, TX
I’ve used a few hosting providers and researched a lot. BlueHost may not be #1 on many reviews, but it’s been on the top 5 or 10 ever since I found them, at least, while others come and go. I monitor my service for 3 organizations with Nagios, and I reconfig’d Nagios with 1min granularity. I get 99.7% uptime. I thought that was pretty good for the price, but leadership for one of the orgs had us switch to a new provider due to my data. After switching, we got 99.3%. We’re switching again. BTW, .3% downtime is rarely noticable. Mail has a few outages, but also barely noticeable (sorry don’t have %s). The "customer" support is great. I make my way through the queue pretty fast, if there is any. Tech support usually can’t provide me specific details for recurring issues (detected by Nagios, usually), because I think the actual admins work for another company (maybe BlueHost resells?) But, I’ve had many excellent experiences w/ tech support, otherwise. I would highly recommend BlueHost.

4.0 stars THANK YOU BLUEHOST!
  Reviewed on 11/12/2009 by Jason Woznick
I recently transferred my site from readyhosting to bluehost. After having been with readyhosting for 5 years, I was a little hesitant. I have now been here for a week or so, and must say that I am pleased more than I ever hoped to have been. Your sales staff was great at helping me get things transferred and ready to go. And your tech support has been amazing at helping to make sure everything is just perfect. My website and email run without a hitch, the stats and features you offer are beyond value, especially for the price you charge. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and make sure you are aware of the great work your staff is doing. I will be hosting my site with bluehost for many years to come. And will be recommending it to others.

4.0 stars ALMOST NO COMPLAINTS!
  Reviewed on 11/11/2009 by matt, From Va
I've had Bluehost for 3 years. They are great because of their price. I notice that their uptime is a little less than desirable, so if you run an e-commerce site, be careful. Also, most of their services for managing your site are not SSL enabled, which in 2009, doesn't seem acceptable. Otherwise, they are a great cheap service

4.0 stars GREAT HOSTING SERVER
  Reviewed on 11/11/2009 by alex, From Santa Ana, CA
After an extensive review of many hosting providers, I decided to go with Bluehost. Prior to my selection, I've read somewhere that these companies pay for better ratings. I was alittle skeptical at first about going with BlueHost, but in the end, I couldn't be more satisfied. I've been with BlueHost for about a year now and so far, I've not experienced any downtime. As stated, they must be up 99% of the time because I haven't experienced any problems. The software that comes with BlueHost is a decent selection, pretty much all most people need outside of specialized programs. All in all, I am very pleased with the quality of both service and cost effectiveness of BlueHost. If you are considering a paid hosting service, I would recommend BlueHost without hesitation. In the beginning, I did contact them via email for some trouble shooting problems and they did get back to me within 24 hours. To me, that seems really fair. I hope this helps.

4.0 stars BLUEHOST REVIEW BY ANONYMOUS
  Reviewed on 11/09/2009 by Anonymous
I’m amazed when I first read about Bluehost uptime record for the past 4+ years. According to the report (tracked since Dec 2005), Bluehost achieved an all-time 99.8% server uptime – that’s a really great figure for a web host that offers unlimited hosting with just $6.95/mo.

4.0 stars NOT BAD
  Reviewed on 11/06/2009 by Anonymous, From Kenosha, WI
Blue host was the first web host I've used, and so far its gone well. I did have issues with my web browser. I'm on a mac, and was using firefox and everytime I would try to connect to the ftp I would receive a message that said the page did not exist. I did call in to the help line and went through various ways to try and connect, which included emptying my cache about a dozen times, and still didn't get an answer (which is why its a 4, but they genuinely seemed to be trying to find an answer as they had someone in the office connecting with firefox) and it works fine on safari. It is a little messy at first, but after a while you get the hang of it. So far no big issues have happened that would cause me to advise against bluehost.

4.0 stars GREAT HOSTING!
  Reviewed on 11/06/2009 by Alan McAlexander, From Lakewood, CO
I am hosting two websites on bluehost.com and they are EXCELLENT!!! I don't have any complaints except they are not as user friendly as other hosts, but they make up for that in all the features and uptime they provide. This company is off the charts. If you need support, you got it and best of all, they speak ENGLISH, the support personnel are Americans!

Though the space and price is fabulous but the customer / technical support in the form of Live Chat sucks... it say forever "Please be patient as we connect you to the next available operator..." And... "If you do not wish to wait any longer, click the button below to end your session. It goes on for soooooo long and finally disconnects...

4.0 stars GREAT FOR WORDPRESS SITES
  Reviewed on 11/05/2009 by Adam, From California
I was new to using Wordpress, and Bluehost was able to provide my site with 1-click installs of everything I needed to get the site up and running. It has been 2 years now, and I have never had any downtime or issues of any kind. I would highly recommend Bluehost. Since that time I have also signed up a number of my clients through their service, and all are just as happy with them.
