Bluehost Reviews & Product Details

Bluehost is easy to use and much more affordable than other hosting platforms. I also love that if I ever have trouble with something the customer service is available on an instant chat and have always been able to help me get my problem resolved.

I like that the SSL is included in the hosting and you don't have to worry about setting that up separately.

The only thing that I had an issue with was when you very first set up your site it sets up a temporary domain, which is nice so that you can start building right away, but when your site is moved over to the permanent domain the pictures don't transfer over. I have broken image links on the front page of my website for a while before someone else pointed it out. Granted, I should have checked it more often but that was frustrating.

Follow the prompts and you seriously will have a website set up in no time. If you do get stuck or have questions use the chat function for support and someone will help you out right away.

I have asked several of my clients to move over to Bluehost because of the ease of use and the SSL being included. It is really frustrating to work with some other providers support teams and I have always had a great experience with Bluehost's team. I am NOT a web developer so it is nice to be able to get questions answered and issues resolved.

Bluehost has 24/7 support online and the techs have always been helpful and knowledgeable. As a client for more than five years, there have been only a few times support was required. But it always ended in a resolution of the problem. Bluehost also has excellent up-time. I am aware of only one brief outage.

The only difficulty I have personally experienced with Bluehost is phone support which typically has had extremely long wait times.

Don't expect Bluehost to build your site. But if you know what you want and have the tecnical ability, Bluehost will be able to provide the hosting solution you need.

My business is online only and Bluehost provides a secure environment for both data and programs proprietary to the business at a very reasonable price. Their virtual server has provided everything needed.

Bluehost offers a one-stop shop for websites including the ability to purchase domains, web hosting and domain management.

The dashboard can be a little difficult to navigate if you are unfamiliar with web terminology. There's not a dedicated support person for your account, so if you have any issues you can chat online or call into a call center for technical or account support. When purchasing a domain - I made the mistake of not initially purchasing the domain privacy and was bombarded by phone and email from solicitors offering web related services. I went back and purchased it, but still continue to receive e-mails related to this.

We are able to purchase multiple website domains and have them forward to our two main Bluehost hosted websites. We bought domains that would be related to our business. We also use the hosting services through Bluehost. It's nice to have all of these services in one place - Bluehost even sends reminders when your domain names are up for renewal.

At first I thought it was a bad company, but when I tried it I found that this company was the best hosting company I used. Easy to use control panel and I don't the free SSL certificate, Unlimited email storge, unlimited bandwidth, free domain, 24/7/365 super support and many of the great features that I didn't get for free from a company before but I got it with BlueHost.

Affiliate support is very slow and doesn't respond quickly. Sometimes I send message and get a response after a week. There are also some responses that come to justify this delay because they didn't get my message. How did you not get my message and you respond?

Therefore, I hope that the affiliate support will be improved, I am a affiliate member and I have not received any cent since I registered.

If you are looking for good value money for high services and stability for your site please get your hosting from BlueHost

Fast technical support, high value of services, server speed and the additional features are offered with shared hosting plans.

I have been in the past suffering from a lot of downtime and I have to pay extra money to get additional services, but I found these services free with Blue Host and you do not have to pay more money to get the services I want.

I've used several different web hosting services over the years. The others had repeated downtime, glitches, hacks, and minimal benefits for the same or higher cost than Bluehost. I've had minimal problems with my Bluehost account.

The customer service department has been a bit slack over the past couple of years. They used to answer right away and immediately fix any concerns. Over the past couple years, the hold and wait time has been pretty long and I often have to go back and forth with them to get a problem solved. Even their online chat service takes awhile to connect with a rep and get things accomplished. I'm not sure if they've outsourced their customer service or if they changed hands and merged or what exactly, it's just not the same as it used to be. Luckily, I don't have issues very often to have to contact them.

I've used Bluehost for quite awhile. They said I was hacked once in 2016 and my accounts were all frozen and taken offline while I backed up my files and deleted them from the server. They couldn't show me proof of anything and offered a pay service of theirs to do a sweep, clean and check, which I declined. That was really the only major issue I ever had with them. Otherwise, their web hosting services and options have been a great solution.

I'm able to easily setup redirects, add-on additional domains to my account and easily manage the multiple domains from one easy control panel. I can setup email accounts for each domain and lump everything together under my one account and one price. They offer quite a few plugins and options for more advanced web designers and companies with more demanding needs.

The customer service is very good and always has been from the start, Bluehost has this down very well

There are things hidden in wording which you want to look out for.

I received an email for a domain transfer to bluehost at a price. This email it is worded like this is the fee to register your domain with us.

Thats not the case as the transfer fee is seperate, which if you are with a provider already you will save money by not transferring. If you're not with someone then it is a different story.

I fell for this, and have gone back to my other provider, along with the point below for this reason..

When you register your domain with bluehost, you are told that there is a 1 year extension on renewal. For most people this would be thought of, as you get 2 years and pay for just the 1. Nope. You pay each year.

The 1 year extension means very little, and is worded that way to make you think you're saving money.

Bluehost sounds like a bargain, but there are hidden fees. Know all before you decide.

They are helpful with one of my websites

I really like their pricing, can’t really beat that. But other than that, there's really not much to like. Especially in the lower tier plans. I don't know about their higher plans, because their pricing for the higher tier plans isn't that competitive when compared to other companies.

Since they have switched me to new servers, my websites have been hacked twice. On two different accounts. And when I contacted their support about the malware problem that I face, I automatically get transferred to their Sucuri.net partner, which has no idea about my account, all they want to do is upsell me something.

Do your homework. Read the reviews, and make sure they're unbiased reviews. A lot of hosting companies "buy" five star reviews.

I can host multiple websites that don't require very fast loading times. It's great with that.

BlueHost's core functionality is good. I've never had a problem with speed or uptime.

The user interface is pretty messy which makes it difficult to find what you want and get things done. What's worse though, is the fact that the functionality is oddly limited.

For example, I had some staging installations of WordPress that I wanted to delete. After trying every possible thing I could think of, I contacted support and they told me that you need Support to do that for you.

What made me decide to leave BlueHost though, was their "staging" feature. I was excited to give it a test drive but found that it was just a way to contact Support and request a migration to and from a Staging site. To make matters worse, they ended up botching the job and the site was down for about half an hour!

WordPress Engine is outstanding. We're moving all of our clients to them.

Hosting websites for clients.

One of the cheapest hosting providers out there. Basic SSL is included with their packages. Interface is so easy to use. Unlike other companies, where you have to dig to find what you need, everything is easy to find. Has everything I need for Wordpress sites.

I've only been using BH for a few months. Everything has worked perfectly. No downtime on sites. Only slight con is to get the best pricing on hosting you have to purchase at least 3 years up front.

I needed to get SSL for all my client sites since Chrome/Google mark sites as insecure now without it. They are not ecommerce sites, so nothing fancy was needed. BH is saving me tons compared to the previous hosting company I was using. I was expecting it to be so easy to use, and so they've also saved me time as well.

I like that Bluehost offers a full range of domain registration and web hosting services all in one place. The performance of most of the services I've used with them, particularly hosting and email, has been quite smooth and fast. I haven't experienced many negative issues, but when I do, the customer support team at Bluehost has been very helpful and easy to reach. I usually don't wait too long to get someone on the phone. The fact that Bluehost has been around a while and is still going strong with good reviews from many customers gives me confidence in doing business with them.

Though Bluehost provides just about everything I need for my web assets, I think their pricing could be lower. There are other similar companies out there with nice packages and deals that I wish Bluehost could provide. Some other companies offer things like domain privacy, more databases and increased server space at lower prices.

I think Bluehost is definitely a solid choice for standard web needs like web hosting, email and domain registration. I can't say it's the best for complex websites though, so you may want to look at the full specifications on the Bluehost website before signing up.

Bluehost gives me a reliable platform to host websites that I can use for promotions and data processing. The server speeds have generally been fast and I haven't had to deal with many malware issues. It's great that Bluehost has a wealth of information online that I can search to walk through various account processes on my own.

I like that Bluehost has very low downtime and some of the faster hosting speeds I've experienced among major web hosting providers. Bluehost offers a multitude of web products that allow you to consolidate all of your web assets in one place. Their standard email accounts that come with the basic hosting packages generally work very well.

There can be some speeds and connectivity issues when it comes to working CMS platforms like WordPress and Joomla. Though Bluehost's customer support is great overall, they can sometimes not be helpful when it comes to solving specific questions regarding our CMS setup. In those cases, they often refer us to third-party resources.

If you plan to use a CMS platform, I'd recommend using Bluehost for only simple and straightforward installs. If you plan to add a significant amount of hefty auxiliary files, like CSS, PHP and JavaScript, then you might be better off with a hosting plan that is specialized for your CMS platform.

We can generally post reliable websites and landing pages for our various business services and promotions using Bluehost. Emails through Bluehost are typically delivered in a timely manner. Since the email accounts are sufficient, we save a significant amount of money by not having to purchase an additional email hosting plan on top of our regular web hosting plan.

Whenever I need help, I'm on the phone within 5 minutes with someone helping me walk through a tech issue.

There are so many features in Bluehost. To some, it's advanced and complicated. To others, it's nice to have so many options. It's isn't always easy to find what you're looking for after you log in.

Bluehost is for an experienced person, rather than a beginner.

Bluehost has been reliable for us for many years. We pay for the year and save a considerable amount this way. After a while, I began to learn their many other services and used them included in my current rate! (SSL, backup)

Their setup process is very easy, the service is reliable, and they have stand-out customer service. It's responsive and clear. They also have a large and helpful library of resources to make it easy to troubleshoot on your own. The service is reliable for the most part, and the interface/dashboard is clear and easy to use. If you use WordPress, Bluehost has a dedicated service for hosting WordPress sites.

Not much - does its job. There have been a few times where service has been down, but at most it's lasted a couple hours. Maybe once or twice last year.

Do research beforehand on how you'd like to use Bluehost before delving in, to do it right the first time, e.g. SSL certificates, servers, redirects, etc.

Easy and reliable web hosting.

Customer support is awesome! I have called in multiple times with issues that should have been handled by my webmaster, but their tech support went above and beyond every time to actually fix my issues for me.

There isn't much I dislike about them, they seem to have everything under control when it comes to hosting.

I highly recommend bluehost. It is simple and does what you need it to do, especially if you are an owner of a blog or media company. Other hosting sites in my experience are more technical and complex than they need to be. Bluehost cuts out all that jazz and ensures that everything you need is all you see.

My site provides motivation and useful self-improvement information. Because of the fast, and user-friendly experience that Bluehost provides, I've increased my readership by 30% month over month since I started using Bluehost.

I appreciated that Bluehost walked me through step by step in creating my own domain. It linked directly with wordpress so I could create my own blog that I wanted.

I dislike that there is no video tutorial at the beginning to explain some of the details. It took my several days of using the software to understand some of the nuances.

Watch videos on youtube of setting up your blog. It can be very difficult to understand all of the details on Bluehost.

I am creating my own blog - and I have realized that it has allowed me to achieve my dream of creating my own blog!

Not only is Blue Host extremely easy to set-up and use, it is also a competitive price. I was able to purchase my domain name, for my blog about education, using a prorated plan. Even if you are not sure how long you will be active on the Internet, or use your site, Blue Host's options for purchase offer competitive, realistic hosting rates. I purchased my domain name for three years. It was much cheaper than other hosting sites. The customer service options are also excellent. I receive updates on my site, information on how to improve, and general updates.

I am not incredibly savvy when it comes to creating and managing a website, so I was confused about the different levels of purchase available. I was not sure what level of traffic I would receive on my blog, or the type of advertisement options I might want available. I also was not sure about affiliate programs. Blue Host also prompts you to use Word Press, which is fine for my site, but may not work for others. I think the push to use this specific secondary source as a blog site might interfere with the work you do online.

I conducted a lot of research into what hosting site would be best for my needs, and no company came close to Blue Host.

I like Blue Host because it allows me to easily keep control of my website, without a lot of work on my part. It is not difficult to know what is happening with the company, nor do I need to worry about hidden fees and random charges on my account. I am always kept up-to-date on what is happening.

- Reasonable price, even more on the cheap side

- Easy to use, flexible platform, excellent for small businesses

- 24/7 chat support is very helpful in assisting with basic stuffs and very easy to access for a customer outside the US

- It is a shared host, sometimes my ip gets blocked by security software like trendmicro when sending email to my customer. I understand it is a shared host but Bluehost should be periodically informing these companies about their ips being shared ones.

- Technical support staffs have poor technical knowledge. They might have no idea or unable to identify the cause of problems when it comes to a more complicated matter like remoting mySQL database. Many problems usually can't be fixed, even if it can it often takes at least two or three contacts.

Everything as far as I have used it is fine except their remote mySQL firewall. It is pretty difficult to whitelist an external server ip to access the database. Especially the Google ips, it is impossible and nobody at Bluehost seems to be able to fix it while its competitors like GoDaddy can.

I run an online antique and collectible gallery. It is not exactly e-commerce since customers have to make a phone call in order to purchase anyway. My store is built from Opencart and it works smoothly with Bluehost with a trace of downtime or crash.

BlueHost is a good hosting option for small businesses, small to medium traffic websites, and everything in between. Its relatively simple to set up. What I like best is the help videos and informative articles. Basically everything I've needed to do I've had step by step instructions to assist me.

BlueHost offers great initial deals to sign up. After that first contract is up though, they offer no other promotions and you are left to decide to transfers your sites to another hosting company or to pay the increased costs. It's kind of frustrating when you see the deals they offer new people but you cannot get the deals because you are a loyal non-new customer.

They are good. I recommend them.

We host many websites, emails and domains through BlueHost. They are easy to work with and simple steps to set up.

The uptime. The added features (ssl, security and backup). I host 8 domains and 15 subdomains on my plan and i've never had downtime in over 3 years. Once i accidentally deleted a site during an upgrade and the support tech had me up and running in less than 25 minutes! You can't beat that level of customer service.

Nothing to be honest. I would only suggest they increase the number of web applications available for install using an auto installer. like more LMS and e-commerce web builders.

You can't get better uptime and support anywhere. The pricing is decent and the experience is more than worth the price. Five Stars

We're hosting our websites, knowledgebases, databases and even a linux instance. The benefits are largely operational. Email and web hosting is hassle free, supporting my team is stress free and we can guarantee 99.99% uptime to our customers.

Bluehost makes things so much easier for my customers. They love the ease of paying online and I like that they never leave my website to do it. I like the ability to send texts to my customers. The customer support team really works hard to help when there is a problem and they are usually very quick to respond!

The website is pretty basic and not very attractive, but we have been more concerned with having a great management system, which we do have.

All my info is in one place and I don't have to worry about losing it.

I love the easy access and love how I can help walk customers through the payment options if they want to setup automatic payments, etc.

Ir was easy to set up my domain and it was pretty simple to use. Also the site performance was very good. It was not as fast to load, but it worked pretty well.

Not very cheap. Also the terminology was not easy to understand. You would have to be technically inclined to use this domain hosting service. It also takes longer than for the domain to load.

If you are a technically inclined person and would like to work with a professional hosting service, I would definitely recommend BlueHost. It was easy to use, but do keep in mind that setting up can take some time.

It was more business oriented. The support is top notch in Bluehost. You can chat or email them at anytime and you will have a faster response. This is not so for many other hosting services.

The hosting uses cpanel and is fairly easy to set up.

The lack of customer service, the lack of motivation to solve problems (a CS rep accidentally canceled the wrong service and it ended up in my email and site going down and wasted advertising dollars as it was during a launch and heavy ad time) My experience with them is HANDS DOWN the worst experience I've had working with any company in the past decade.

Even if their service performs well most of the time, it only takes one instance to cost you hundreds or thousands in lost revenue if you run a web-based business. Look elsewhere.

None, they were great when I needed a basic website and non-reliable service and email, but once it became something I used and relied on, they cost more than they were worth.

Bluehost is a user-friendly hosting company. They work with Google and Wordpress, which is very convenient for most users. Pricing is very reasonable as well. No complaints. Very easy to use and work with when starting a blog!

The pricing year to year does not stay the same.

Keep pricing agreements the same year to year.

Being user-friendly has helped the process work at our advantage.

Easy to navigate and add plugins, html. My website is pretty fast compared to others. Works well with Wordpress.

There's a lot of added on stuff that makes it costly, for the cheapest monthly price, you have to do a 3 year commitment. Customer service is slow. Not the easiest to access my website email.

Look into other hosts first. But it is cheapest if you're just setting it a website up and getting started.

I'm using the website to host my blog page. It's helpful with emails, and reaching people.

It's affordable, it's reliable, has an easy C-panel and love the 1-click installs. The features are all pretty standard for any of the lower-cost hosting options. I have multiple accounts with multiple sites underneath them and it suits me well. I use it to purchase domains as well since it is easier to have everything in one place.

The domain prices are a few bucks extra compared to what you might pay elsewhere but having domain registration and hosting in one place is worth it.

If you're looking to host a simple wordpress site I would say you can't go wrong with Bluehost.

Need an affordable hosting solution for wordpress sites as well as to host sites that we use for landing pages for advertising campaigns. Easy to manage dns settings and no limit on the number of sites you can have within your hosting environment.

Bluehost is great for small websites or businesses that are just starting out and can't afford to pay for a better hosting service. They are very affordable, easy to set up, and offer the basics to get a website up and running. The admin area is pretty straightforward and it's very easy to use. Though I'd only recommend them as a last resort if other more reliable hosts aren't affordable for the client at this point in time.

Websites often run very slowly on Bluehost servers, where they ran very quickly on our local and live development servers. I've had numerous clients complain that their website goes down frequently, or that they have email problems. We had a client recently switch to a more reliable host because their email problems became too much to handle. Frankly, the ups and downs of the servers and the headaches that come with that aren't worth the cheap price.

I would suggest going with another hosting provider that's more reliable. There are plenty of other affordable hosts that aren't much more expensive than Bluehost, and they are MUCH more reliable than Bluehost.

Bluehost is used to host websites, though I'd prefer for clients to use a different provider that's more reliable. After using hosts like Bluehost, I've come to realize that you get what you pay for; if you're paying pennies for hosting, you aren't going to get a reliable service.

I had started my first site with BlueHost and Now after passing more than two years, I am with them. They are awesome in this business that is why I recommend using BH to my blog readers. You can get wordpress hosting plans such as Shared, VPS and Dedicated as well as Cloud at very affordable prices.

In my experience, I had never faced any problem regarding hosting, support or any thing in BlueHost.

They are good and reliable hosting provider for wordpress sites and with their hosting servers you don't have worry about anything.

The fact that Bluehost is on the cheaper side of the Web hosting spectrum is what drew me to their services initially. That and they integrate well with the Wordpress.org dashboard and templates.

Unfortunately, that's where my appreciation for the hosting service ends.

Bluehost seems to be extremely slow. My websites have a 1-2 second lag when loading, no matter what platform or web service I'm using. On the back end, when dealing with the Wordpress dashboard, the slow-down is even more prevalent. And there seems to be a hitch when accessing either the website or the dashboard through Safari (Google Chrome is slightly better).

I've also not had much luck with their customer service. Like their Web speeds, they're slow.

I'd skip Bluehost and look to other hosting services that provide faster load times and better customer service. Other options include: SiteGround or InMotion.

Initially, I was maintaining a website on their servers quite cheaply, but the lag time in loading the site cost me traffic, so my initial benefit of saving money wasn't worth the price tag.

The characteristics as a shared or cloud hosting are perfect. I have 2 WordPress sites with them and they work very smoothly...

All options I've needed for my WordPress have been perfectly achieved.

I love the eaily way to update/change my plan... Just from Shared plan to Cloud plan was in minutes...

I began with a Shared hosting and now I'm into Cloud plan. It's very good although not perfect. Some months ago we had 3 weeks with service interruption.

Anyway the support was clear about the problems they had but were some minutes with our sites down.

I think the important is choose the right plan in accordance with websites needs. Just begin with a lower plan and begin scale to higher plans,

I wanted a reliable hosting for our WordPress sites and we found them via a WordPress official site recommendation.

Well, their prices for shared web hosting are considered to be one of the cheapest.

unlimited space for hosting, emails and addon domains really helped me put few small websites I own together and manage them all under one account which was really cost effective.

I can't rely on Bluehost when it comes to building a website for a serious business, even the dedicated hosting package, as I had too many technical issues with them and their support didn't help much, specially when it comes to server down issue, they simply tell you we are doing our best and leave you alone banging your head against the wall. I will never forget the time when my dedicated server went down for a whole week due to a major hardware failure!

Only consider Bluehost if you are going to use it for a small websites.

I'm a web-developer and I've been in the field for almost 10 years, and what I realized after using bluehost for almost 8 years s to use them only if I'm building a small and non critical website, specially if it was an ecommerce website.

There are many features offered on the platform, acts as the admin's one-stop shop for web/email hosting and other services. Also fairly easy to navigate despite being a new user.

Poor aesthetics, and certain processes can be simplified or automated, or made more intuitive to the end user. In general, could use a more customer-friendly user interface to make it easier for beginners at small businesses.

Good for businesses who need many features and capabilities for domain hosting.

We require it for web hosting, as well as business emails. Helps us look and act more professional from a digital standpoint and provides security/consolidation for our team.

You don't need to have any experience to start your website. Also, they offer different plans for different websites. Support is really fast, no downtime in the 2 years I've been with them.

Even the basic plans will give you more than enough disk space, databases, etc.

About price: Even though its a bit pricier than most competitors, it becomes really affordable if you have to host more than one website.

Integrated email gets really slow sometimes. Not even near the email quota and you will experience slow navigation.

There is not much documentation on simple functions (like subdomains), but you can get them done pretty easy if you contact customer support.

Don't be afraid to ask. They reply really fast and will explain to you and help you if you run into problems, even technical ones.

I'm starting to move my other websites to a single hosting plan. Its cheaper in the long term and with great support.

For me Bluehost was quick and easy to use and has responsive and helpful support. Their hosting was easy to setup with enough features and options for my small site. When I first set up my site I needed help with MX record setup for my email and their support team was very knowledgeable and quick to respond. If nothing else, their support was well worth the price.

They may not be the best for large sites or complicated setups, so it depends what you are looking for. Their admin panel could definitely use some work as far as usability goes. It was a little hard to find where to edit name servers, for example. They could definitely make it a little more user-friendly and easy to navigate.

If you're new to hosting and need good support, they're definitely worth considering.

I wanted to spend as little time and effort getting my site's hosting setup and running at a decent price, and they were able to meet my needs. With their support, they were also very easy to work with and help me with any questions I had. For a decent price, they were able to put me on a good track to get up and running quickly.

I like the different types services that they offer. There was so much that I did like over the years, but they recently made changes that have left me a dissatisfied customer. I am looking for another host as I type this review.

They recently changed their tech support and it is now severely lacking. The people they are using do not know what they are doing and messed up my website without wanting to fix it. Took several days and hours on the phone to get them to fix the mistakes they made! I also dislike the pricing. When I first signed up, the prices were reasonable. Each time I renew, the prices are higher and higher, although they offer lower prices on their websites. According to them, sales and promotions are not available to current customers. It is a bait and switch since they email customers the promotions.

Do your research. There are many hosts out there and you have to know what is important to you. Good tech support is of primary importance to me, and they are currently lacking in that area for sure.

Website hosting, domain registration, email..

Easy to get a website up and running. Bluehost lets you register for a domain, get hosting, and install a simple CMS very quickly.

Layout of backend is confusing and some of the features were not working while I was setting up the site.

Bluehost provides some helpful stuff for not much money. It gives you options to register a domain and provides you with hosting as well. They have several one click installs for popular CMS (drupal, wordpress, etc). Unfortunately, not all of these were working when I was using this and I was unable to install Drupal 8 using the one-click install (drupal 7 worked fine though). The backend can be somewhat confusing to navigate, and it is not helped by the fact that a lot of bluehost's documentation seems to be out of date.

Hosting a legacy smaller site.

I like that I can easily manage my account from their homepage

I don't like how confusing it is to have a separate company for the domain and separate for hosting. It's hard to connect with Weebly.

Bluehost is okay, but if you're working with another site for hosting and/or domain registration then it can be confusing to connect the two. I spent hours with iPage and Bluehost going back and forth trying to figure out who owned what. Neither had good answers for me. I am scared every time something expires because I don't know who I have to go back to make sure my website doesn't go dark.

It's fine for the price point, but if Weebly did everything, I would probably go with that

Bluehost was my first decent hosting experience. I left 1&1 crooks and needed a host with reasonable support and a billing department that wasn't purposely difficult to reach. Bluehost is mostly known for being a cheap entry-level shared host with easy enough to set up, but it's also an adequate resource for light hosting of other project. They target those interested is launching Wordpress blogs, and provide a reasonably good platform for this. The recent facelift to the control panel was helpful in some ways, but also complicated things unnecessarily. Their pricing has changed to limit domains and file space for entry level customers, but mostly what you get will be more than enough. Bluehost support is great, decently time and friendly.

There's some complicated elements to the interface, but after some learning and hiding things you don't use, it's tolerable. I've also had strange uptime issues over the years. Client emails have bounced due to perfectly good domains being blacklisted (blame it on other shared users on the same server). This is a problem which they reverse, but it takes time and people can't send their emails for a while.

Mostly I'll be leaving Bluehost when my term is up as they informed me that they won't honor the original price I paid, and want me to upgrade. On another client package they did so without informing them, so I'll be out and cancelling a bit early.

Spend some time getting to know your hosts. There are more options out there than you think. Read reviews from real people. If you foresee heavy usage and uptime is important, you should probably go with a VPS and avoid shared hosting altogether.

I run a small team designing websites for mom and pop shops. I generally allow to host for them to keep their costs low, but specifically only do it at their risk, as my support for them depends on Bluehost's support to me.

Knowledgeable customer service, mostly U.S. based (during business hours). CPanel is easy to use, Synching with Wordpress is easy. Good security features. And decent pricing.

Knowledge base could provide a little more instruction on more technical areas. Would prefer not to have to call if I can find it in their Help section.

Definitely one of the best with competitive pricing and good technical support.

Web Hosting. Email Management. WordPress management.

I like that bluehost is relatively simple in how to use it and the options it offers with formatting websites.

I am completely new to web design and even though it is made for newbies, it is hard for me to navigate.

It offers an affordable platform for my website which I appreciated. I think the cheapest option out there.

Good Hosting Provider for small to medium sized businesses , reliable.

a tad more expensive than other hosting solutions on the market, still reasonable price point though

yes for medium to small business, that's my experience

-Reliable load and up time for site
