What do you like best about Bluehost?

Bluehost is a an affordable solution if you have a new site, and just want to get the framework up. Once you get any sort of real traffic, you're going to want to switch to a better platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluehost?

Bluehost is riddled with upsells. They try to charge you for everything, and there are still charges made to my account, even though I switched away from the service over a year ago. Customer support is not what it used to be, and you'll often find yourself in lengthy discussions over sensitive issues. However, the technical team is still fairly good and was able to address most of my issues.

Bluehost is also slow. Sure you can get web hosting for a few bucks a month, and that's great, but your site will crawl. It's not realistic to use one of their cheaper plans if you plan on growing your site. In addition, Wordpress runs very slowly with Bluehost, which will slow down your workflow.

What problems is Bluehost solving and how is that benefiting you?

They solved my budget problem when I was first starting out. I was enabled to build my website at an affordable rate. They also have some decent tutorials on web servers and hosting, which is something that I didn't know much about heading in. Also, the technical team was able to teach me a thing or two about what goes on behind the scenes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
