BlueHost

I use my web hosting plan for SEO reasons; I have about 20 accounts online at the moment. I had some problems initially with the configuration that was setup, but after some back and forth with the tech team I got the issue resolved. I think it took like 20 mins to get everything done.

BlueHost has served me well for the last 4 years and I've honestly had very little problems with them. They have hosted both my personal and business web hosting accounts (on different servers) but within the BlueHost ecosystem. I've never had any issues or problems, when I did, I literally called them up and they got it solved almost literally right away. The price in my mind is fair and affordable for business and home users.

I've been with bluehost.com for 6 years and a few months now, and I've got to say that their growth pains have been really hard to deal with at times, but lately they have really become a fantastic provider. Their service is never offline, always up, available, and backed by what now seems an army of support engineers that are available via live chat, phone, and email. I don't know what more I can ask for $4.95/mo. I think they are definitely worth the money I spend, I'm glad I stuck with them.

As a professional web developer who has worked on over 72 different projects, I can honestly say that bluehost is fantastic. There is one annoying snag that I experience with them from time to time, and that's their automated cronjob manager, that re-sets the timing that I set on my cron jobs. It seems that I pass the trigger and when that happens, the email me, and it adjusts my crons... I would prefer if they didn't play with that... but thats about it.

BlueHost has been solid for me for a long time. Virtually no downtime, excellent performance, and lightening speeds. What defines a web hosting company is just that; its speed, technical support and service levels. So far, BlueHost has been nothing but spectacular in all of those key areas.

When signing up, I was confronted with needing a drives license, as they asked me to go through what they call enhanced validation at random. Basically, I was not impressed with the process. So I asked for my account to be cancelled and refunded. They did that without any problem thankfully. So buy words of warning is, don't signup unless your ready to go through a process like that.

After being with them for two years, I can say that their FTP upload speeds are a little slower than other providers like HostGator, but they do have excellent support resources that allow you to enable a multiple upload session, which means your FTP will upload 8 files at a time rather than one at a time. Which normally speeds up the process a lot! Speak with their customer support about that, and Im sure they would be glad to explain how that works.

BlueHost is inexpensive with high quality results. They are great for hosting all kinda websites, doesn't matter if its your Blog or a forum.. its all the same. They have 24/7 help available, so it doesn't matter if you prefer to work during the day or night, they are always ready.

When it comes to an excellent LAMP hosting environment, we're speaking about HostGator. HostGator has amazing technical support resources, both on the support front and uptime. I've honestly never had the pleasure of having such a reliable web hosting provider. No matter what sorta cryptic question I throw at them, they manage to get an answer and solve the issue quickly. They really have some very smart people working over there and they are not going to say no to you, they certainly will go the extra mile.

Helpful assistance is all that I really care about. They are quick to resolve issues and are very friendly, even when the questions seem quirky or stupid. The pricing for their services in my eyes is very reasonable; I would definitely recommend them for all your web hosting needs.

I've been with BlueHost for quite sometime, as they started their rapid growth, their infrastructure was always struggling under the pressure (as it seemed to me). There was always upgrade notices going out every weekend, and some weekdays too. It's ok, if your in the same timezone, but sometimes their update windows were in the middle of my workday... so due to the timezone differences... I was always getting delayed with my marketing campaigns.

I can say that I've experienced web hosting services in the past, I've gone though quite a few. None of which have been an extremely pleasant experience. However, BlueHost just blows me away... they seem to know what their doing, where they are going and how to get any questions you have answered both quickly and professionally. The chap that I was speaking to was called Mark, and he helped me migrate the name servers, move my site and everything. So if it wasn't for him, I'd still be probably trying to get things moved over. Thank you again Mark.
