BlueHost Review
BlueHost has been providing web hosting services since 1996. With a combined 20,000 square feet of data center space, diesel backup generators, UPS (uninterruptible power supply) power, and multiple 10 gigabyte fiber connections, BlueHost (http://www.BlueHost.com) has the power to supply millions of domains (including this one) with affordable high speed web hosting. They offer 24/7 customer support which is completely in-house in Utah; the hold times average 30 seconds or less and you will talk to somebody that can actually fix your problems and that you can understand.
BlueHost has consistently been one of the most popular web hosting companies, I was originally attracted to them because WordPress was just becoming popular for blogging and they were one of the only companies that would help with the setup process. Now BlueHost WordPress hosting is effortless, they have a feature called “Simple Scripts” which automatically installs management systems such as Joomla, WordPress (blogging), Drupal, phpBB (forums), etc. with a single click. Once I have my CMS up and running I typically only log into my actual control panel once a month at most.

BlueHost Review – BlueHost WordPress Hosting
This review has been very easy to write as I have been with BlueHost for 2-3 years now and I have not had to call customer support a single time. On this server I have 5 static websites, 4 domains running on WordPress including this site, and my largest site is running on Joomla 2.5. While these web sites take up a considerable amount of storage space and bandwidth, I am not anywhere near my quota and I can continue to expand my online business.

The reason I have stayed with BlueHost is that despite my growing business, I have never felt like I am outgrowing my hosting plan. My overhead costs might as well be invisible, for about $80/year I have been able to construct a large network of websites. I have no complaints, with BlueHost I have been able to focus my efforts on creating new content and tapping into new markets rather than worrying about the server that displays my websites. There have been periods that I haven’t logged into my control panel for over 6 months; if there aren’t any problems then there is nothing for me to worry about.
BlueHost provides a very reliable service for a low price, once you start building your own online presence you will see that the hosting costs are clearly worth the rewards. Use the banner below to learn more and occasionally save money (sometimes I get coupons to share with my readers).
