For this price, you get pretty much everything you need for a single website. That includes 50 GB SSD storage, unmetered bandwidth, a free SSL certificate, and more. So you’d be getting a pretty good value for the price, plus their consistent uptime and page loading speeds.
Their tech support is great to work with, and have always been very polite and knowledgeable. I am not a professional web anything, so they really do make it as easy as one could expect it to be for a complete novice. I have never had an issue with down-time, slow page loads, etc., so I have been very pleased.
But, to me it seems shady. I refuse to pay an additional monthly service. They should secure their customers host account. So I took matters into my own hands and learned about .htacess. My .htacess is now the size of a novella, but it feels like I'm just plugging holes.
This works fine with Bluehost it just took a little effort to figure out how to publish with a slightly different file path. My sites and email work just fine.
I’ve been using Bluehost for several years – mostly for myself and some of my clients (I’m WordPress developer).
Count me a satisfied customer. This website is the oldest of the four I’ve hosted at Bluehost since 2010 — and I wouldn’t dream of moving any of them. They are cost-competive and service oriented. By the numbers:
All plans come with an easy to use hosting control panel where you can manage your hosting, create databases, etc.
Some highlights from the Consumer Rankings review were that they are easy to use, it’s easy to sign up, and their cPanel makes it easy to install WordPress and is very well organized.
I started with a plain shared website. Performance was horrible. Was upsold on a more expensive plan, improved somewhat but ended up with a another upsell just to move my site to another server because support was unwilling to help with issue that was plaguing the old server.
Just got off a call with Joe from support, been working on launching the site, and he was super helpful. As a person that had pelo clue how to set up a website it was really important for me to find a company with affordable pricing, one that has helpful resources, and great support.
I have been with Bluehost for up to 5 years but I am totally fed up. For mais aqui the first time in a long while I finally got 3 sites that were getting traffic! What did Bluehost do? The throttled the sites and now it takes over 10 minutes to load a page.
There’s no competition here. Siteground beats Bluehost in every criterion. Compare the reviews of both companies and see for yourself. I’ve had such a great experience with Siteground that I would promote it for free!
Important: Web host companies cannot pay to delete or change the reviews. But we provide them an opportunity to answer or comment on any review, to keep the process honest and fair for both sides.
In my experience, live customer service is 100 times more effective than chat which can often be a big waste of my time and energy.
