4.0 stars BE FAIR TO BLUEHOST!
  Reviewed on 11/04/2009 by Chanon, From NSW Australia
For those who claim about bluehost files quota. I would say that every economic host have the same issue. If you pay less you get less. I been host with blue for a year, there was no problem with their server. When I read review in this web, I almost leave bluehost to another host cause I thought bluehost is that bad. However, when I start finding information for some top host here, the customer support state the files quota as well. They all state in the front page as unlimited space. If bluehost bad all are bad. (However, I do agree that all host that have files quota limit need to be honest to put in the detail before customer sign product) For cheap hosting like <$10 a year. I think 50k files is all we can expected. I have no benefit with bluehost but they treat me really well everytime I got an issues. This is just one help back to try to save them. Cheers

4.0 stars WHAT THEY DO NOT SAY
  Reviewed on 11/04/2009 by Marcello, From Oslo, Norway
I read the reviews and yes, most cheap hosting has the same limits to file quota, cpu and ram usage. Bluehost gives a 20% CPU usage while justhost a small 10%. What they both do and do not say though, is that if you exceed the CPU usage your account gets immediatly suspended with no warning and your visitors will see a page stating that your account is suspended inviting you to contact billing support. Not a good image to give...

4.0 stars VERY GOOD HOST
  Reviewed on 11/03/2009 by Kyle Emmerich, From Blue Springs, MO USA
It's a very good host, but you have to pay the total amount for a given number of months, instead of paying each month. Not good for me.

4.0 stars EVERY SHARED HOSTING PROVIDER IMPOSES CPU AND RAM LIMITS
  Reviewed on 11/02/2009 by Martin, From Austria, Europe
What many people don't know is that *every* shared hosting provider has CPU and RAM limits. This is despite them having many "unlimited" features promoted on their web pages. To my knowledge, Bluehost is one of the more lenient providers in this dimension, but it's still important to know these limitations. Here are some of the restrictions that Bluehost has: -- 20% of a 1x core CPU power -- 40 CPU seconds per minute -- 60 seconds of continuous CPU time -- 128MB RAM -- Max 50,000 files total -- 8 simultaneous IMAP connections -- 750 emails to be sent per hour -- 40 simultaneous PHP connections -- 60 simultaneous MySQL connections -- 8 simultaneous FTP connections -- 450 simultaneous HTTP connections

4.0 stars REASONABLY GOOD, BUT
  Reviewed on 10/31/2009 by Kim, From NY
Bluehost is fine in general, but sometimes they shutdown my site without any notice. Sometimes I need to monitor my site and let them know the fact like site is not responding, mysql seems to be dead. The most critical thing was one database in mysql is dropped suddenly!! I asked them a backup. It took me about a week to listen reasonable answer. However, they just repeated they are not responsible of backup. So, I lost my database! I never have had such a ridiculous case - mysql dropped a database without user interaction - with any other hosting service provider.

4.0 stars KICKED OFF
  Reviewed on 10/27/2009 by grimelda, From Sweden
I΄d been with Blue Host for more than two years when I was informed that my account was suspended due to virus activity. I immediately logged in and deleted the effected directories (at their direction) and informed them so. However, they cancelled my account and deleted all of my files anyway because they ΄thought the site was abandoned΄. If you do go with them, keep up to date backups of everything.

4.0 stars BLUEHOST REVIEW BY HOSTHELPER
  Reviewed on 10/26/2009 by hosthelper, From Ottumwa, IA USA
With their great customer service and excellent products, Blue Host easily makes it into our Top 10 Web Hosting companies. You will be able to find cheaper web hosting companies if you shop around, but it is unlikely that you will get as good value for money. The great thing is that all of this is backed up by a 30 Day Money Back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose if you decide to give Blue Host a try. Blue Host are highly recommended, and well worth considering when making your decision.

4.0 stars BLUEHOST IS OK BUT NOT THAT GREAT
  Reviewed on 10/26/2009 by Dickie Taylor, From Dallas TX USA
For my experience with bluehost they stated out very well, then, after 5 or 6 years they have become less dependable and thier uptime has decreased. They have an auto renew setting for the domain registration of domain names that does not work they shut your wesite off and then charge you ten dollars a domain name and tell you the auto renew setting didn't work. Instead of contacting you they just shut you down! which I think is very unproffessional of them.

4.0 stars BLUEHOST REVIEW BY ANONYMOUS
  Reviewed on 10/25/2009 by Anonymous
The only thing I can complain about is that it isn't the cheapest host out there. You can probably find another host for a few bucks less a month. If they brought their price down a bit I would give them 100 for all. Regardless of the price, uptime has been great, speeds are quick too.

4.0 stars BLUEHOST AFFILIATE REVIEW
  Reviewed on 10/24/2009 by Anonymous, From Montreal, Canada
Hello. I signed up for the BlueHost AFFILIATE program, & put their banners on some blogs and a site. A few months went by, no sign of any sales. I decided to get out of Bluehost after Support ignored a request for help with a banner not showing up. I logged into my existing affiliate account. The primary url installed in my account at activation was gone, leaving an impossible blank. Was Bluehost bypassing my affiliate link all this time? No way to cancel my affiliate account in my own control panel. I asked Support at BlueHost to do it & gave them the userid and password. Obviously, that's quite sufficient. However, Support began playing a game, that they could not "find" my account, declaring they didn't know the "primary url", even when I gave them all sites where I had put Bluehost banners. I sincerely feel something was irregular here. I suspect I was being used as slave labor to promote their sales, so I terminated my Affiliate status with Bluehost.

Overall I give Bluehost a strong "A". The sign-up process is simple and fast. cPanel makes it very easy to manage all aspects of your website. For the last 5 days my site never went down.

4.0 stars BLUEHOST BAD FOR ECOMMERCE SITE
  Reviewed on 10/22/2009 by ricky
I chose bluehost for the price and reviews out there. I then decided to host one of my ecommerce site and for several months the site is constantly going down. Bluehost support said it is my site scripting but were unable to identified which script(I have a similar site on godaddy and have absolutely no issues). The final kicker is when all databases got mysteriously wipe out(all tables are empty). Of course they remind you that they only have a courtesy back-up(the back-up they had is on the day the data got wipe out which has empty tables). I do not recommend Bluehost for any businesses, just for personal websites. Check it out if you don't believe... I have created multiple ecommerce and content-management site and steer their owner away from bluehost...good luck if you chose them.

4.0 stars 50,000 FILES IS NOT UNLIMITED
  Reviewed on 10/20/2009 by dang, From Seattle, WA USA
Unlimited never means unlimited with hosting. This dishonest practice needs to stop. They know damn well what the real limits are and don't publish them, then once you are signed up they tell you when you "violate" their Terms of service.

I've been with them for over 3 years now and the service gets better and better. At one point, I crashed one of my CMS sites due to my own mistakes, customer service was able to restore a server backup from the day before and I got everythign back up and running in less than an hour.
