Bluehost, one of the oldest web hosting companies has gone through a lot of changes in the last few months. They have increased the space, bandwidth and no of domains per account to match the best offer in the industry while keeping the price cheap. Now they offer unlimited domains and resources to match. If you are looking to host multiple domains and want the assurance of a reliable host, bluehost is a great option.

Bluehost Features Review

Bluehost offers almost everything one would like to have in a Linux web host: cPanel(probably the best control panel), Very high level of customization for PHP(.htaccess, Custom PHP.INI Files) etc. They also allow Shell Access(SSH) which will help the advanced users. MySQL databases, subdomains etc. are available in large numbers, and you can host unlimited number of domains in one account.

Bluehost also have top quality infrastructure and wide range of protection mechanisms including DDOS protection and power backup services.

Bluehost Performance Review

Bluehost like most of the competition, do oversell. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the performance is going to be affected. Bluehost is reported to be one of the better performing hosts based on the reviews and feedbacks.

We have been monitoring bluehost with a real account hosted with them using a third party uptime monitoring service. The results have been good, they delivered around 99.46% uptime from January 2008. This doesn’t match up to the promised 99.9% uptime, but is not a bad figure considering the fact that most hosts never deliver what has been promised . Overall, they proved to be reliable for hosting serious websites. Checkout the screen shot below for the uptime details.

Bluehost Price Value

Bluehost has just one plan and the price is $6.95 for a two year contract and $7.95 per month for an yearly contract. Considering that bluehost offers unlimited add on domains and very high resources, this is a great deal.

Bluehost Support Review

Like most other hosts they do offer 24/7 toll free lines for support. Also you have a knowledge base, online chat and email support available. Better still, they have an active support forum which is a real help for the newbies. You get to share the information with support staff as well as experienced webmasters. Support tickets may not be fastest, but they do get replied in a reasonable time limit.

Bluehost support is overall okay, even though not the fastest.
