BlueHost offers just one plan so they can really optimize this single plan to cater for all sorts and sizes of online businesses.

BlueHost recently increased the amount of diskspace and bandwidth to 10,000MB and 250GB respectively. The change has made them one of the top hosts out there to offer the most diskspace and bandwidth. Huge diskspace and bandwidth is worthless if only one website is hosted in an account. Therefore, the number of hosted websites has also been increased to 6. You get 6 domains for the price of 1 hosting account.

You can have full control over your add-on domains. You manage your add-on domains directly in your web hosting control panel without the need of sending any request to BlueHost support.

BlueHost offers up to 50 MySQL databases, far exceeds what is required of most medium size businesses whose usage is normally less than 10 MySQL databases. Therefore, why does BlueHost offer so much MySQL databases? Is it just a marketing gimmick to make its plan more attractive?

The answer is a NO! BlueHost features Fantastico Scripts (enables you to install 48 popular scripts, HostGator 36 scripts) which require a MySQL database to function properly , and therefore the more mySQL database you have, the more scripts you can install.

BlueHost plan is also packed with a site promotion . They include 3 general resources, that is, search engine submission, keyword analyzer and search position report compared to www.powweb.com which offers 6 resources . As site promotion is the core part of an online business, it would be much better if they could increase more features in this category. However, since they are offering only one plan, we are pretty sure that they'll keep improving the plan in order to give satisfaction to its existing customers and to lure new customers.

BlueHost runs its hosts using the Apache web server which allow you to configure a lot of facilities that you typically need on your site such as blocking email harvesters and ip addresses without the need to ask your web host to implement them.

BlueHost has a centralized support section whereby you can get help by visiting their search box. Most answers can be found as they have prepared a quite comprehensive knowledgebase.

However, in an event that your queries are not found, you can open a support ticket and choose the most appropriate department to forward your issue. We were very impressed that our general questions was answered in less than 5 minutes, and the answers given were very helpful. They provided us with much more relevant information than what was requested. It goes to show that they really place great emphasis on their customer service support.

Most hosting companies now provides a live chat support which is more effective and efficient. BlueHost temporarily lacks this important feature and the only way to gain instant response is through their phone support. However, their toll free phone support is only available from Monday - Friday 6 AM - 10 PM (MST) and Saturday 8 AM - 6 PM (MST)

#1 Rated Web Host (2005 – 2006) – Hosts2002.com

BlueHost is now the top 2,000 highest traffic site based on Alexa and hosts more than 65,000 domains. Having tested BlueHost extensively, we are convinced that more and more hosting directories will eventually be happy promoting this high quality host.

BlueHost uses high performance Xeon Servers to host its websites. Their datacenters are designed to be protected from power failure, physical intrusion and network outages by extensive UPS and Diesel power back-up and cooling systems.

BlueHost uses OC-48 , some of the fastest fiber optic data connections as their network backbone for their servers . With their high quality redundant systems you can be sure that your data is always available.

BlueHost offers so much for such a low price of $7.95/year . However, what is lacking is the live chat support which is temporarily unavailable.
