14th April 2008
Bluehost has done it again, they have increased their plan specifications to now offer 15,00GB Diskspace and 15,000GB Bandwidth.

That is a huge amount of diskspace and bandwidth for the still same price of $6.95/month.

Sample Site
Our current sample site on Bluehost is http://www.bollywoodblitz.com . This site has been setup to test Bluehost's hosting services. We have had this site hosted on Bluehost for over 3 years now and have been very impressed with it. The few minor problems we have had been resolved quiet effeciently by Bluehost's email support. I would like to make special mention of the Bluehost support staff which I have found to be extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. To test their support systems we have tried asking different types of question regading email, mysql etc and have received very prompt and knowledgeable replies. All our support requests were answered within 24 hours with most being answered within a few hours. The servers are also very reliable, we have seen a marked increase in the speed of the site since we moved to Bluehost. The sample site receives over 6000 unique visitors every day and the BlueHost server is handling this with ease.

I am very happy with Bluehost and have also heard from many other happy campers at Bluehost. Below is our detailed and complete Bluehost review.

About the Company

Upon inspection of the company’s website, it is surprising to find out that Bluehost offers but one package for web hosting; but what a package it is! For a mere $6.95 per month, you will receive unlimited storage, a free domain name (with support for international domains as well), 6000 GB per month data transfer, 2500 POP3 email accounts, 20 sub-domains, and 10 MySQL databases. Additionally, a full array of features and script support come packaged with the account, as well. Examples of supported items include: PHP, CGI-BIN, Perl, SSI, SSL, and FrontPage Extensions. You are also provided with various plug-in scripts such as PHP Nuke, a message forum, web auctions, e-commerce features, and many more. With such a large selection of options at such a low price, who needs another package?

 

Reliability:

Bluehost uses state of the art technology and servers to make sure customer sites experience minimum downtime. They utilise a OC-48 Backbone connection which ensures that customers sites are easily accessible. All servers have DDOS protection and a UPS and Diesel power generation system in installed at their datacentre. All in all, Bluehost provides a very secure and reliable environment for your website, and in our experience this

Support:

Support is available via toll free number Monday through Friday from 6:00AM to 10:00PM (MST) and Saturday 8:00AM to 6:00PM (MST). Alternately, you can also contact them via email through their online support center or try your luck searching the knowledge base for common issues. Although not available 24/7/365 like many hosting companies, their award-winning technical support team provides top-notch support during their advertised business hours. Much like the lack of information regarding their equipment, it may be disheartening to a potential e-business owner to know that they cannot contact the company at all hours of the day if something goes wrong.

 

Conclusion:

Bluehost promises maximum uptime and offers a large amount of features at a very low and reasonable cost. Combine that with a free domain name, award winning customer service, and plenty of monthly bandwidth and you have a pretty solid web hosting solution. Their long track record and Best Support award seems to show that this company is serious about providing one of the best hosting solutions out there. The company has held its own for over two years now and in today’s business market, that has got to mean something.
