| I’ve been using Bluehost for about 2 years now and I’ve had accounts on 1and1, GoDaddy, Hostgator, and others–Bluehost support is bar-none the best. Every time I call they deliver WAY over the top and over the call of duty. I’m always left with a sense that they care–and my problems are solved. As I say on my website –”Use ‘em, Love ‘em”. | |||

| Bluehost is one of the few web hosts that offer SSH and that's one of the reason I'm hosting with them. Never had any major problem so far. | |||

| Bluehost is horrible. They censor content based on their religious morals. They are anti-gay, anti-free speech, and anti-constitution. Read about it here:
http://news.lavenderliberal.com/2009/07/17/bluehost-vs-the-lesbians/ I have used their services for a little less than a year. Here is my experience. 1) Hard drive status was always red and always 90-100% full. When it was full I could not upload or add any content and it took several days for techs to resolve. 2) Server load was always red and always at 15-75% or higher. My site does very little traffic and their were numerous times where it would just timeout. 3) Various problems with archiving and backups. Archives fail at around 300MB (timeout?). Backups would fail and report timeout. Attempted to back my files up for 3 days so I could move to another host, and ended up having to manually backup and download everything. Had less than 10GB of data and support claimed it was too much data for their backups or archiving to handle. 4) Support is horrible. Majority of responses are canned and not even related to my problem. They will always blame you for anything wrong that happens. My site was hacked and files were modified by a bot. They claimed it was my problem and most likely due to stored passwords when I don't even store my passwords. If you login through Bluehost.com, your password is sent through the URL in plaintext. Guaranteed numerous passwords are harvested and accounts hacked that way. 5) They host the forum bluehostforums.com, which claims to have no affiliation with or employees of Bluehost. However, they are using their branding and domain registration info is Bluehost. Any posts made about problems with Bluehost by Bluehost users are deleted and the members are banned permanently. They do not want Bluehost to have any negative light whatsoever, even if it's true. 6) They claim unlimited hosting and unlimited bandwidth, however they limit at 50,000 files and numerous people report their accounts being deleted for using too much space. |

| This host is great! You actually get support! I hate it when I call for support and actually know more than the person I'm talking to. | |||

| I have hosted my business website with bluehost for more than 2 years now. I am very pleased with the service. Their customer service is very good. If i have any problems i get replies promptly usually within 5-10 hrs.
I have had some problems with their mail server but that was rectified very soon. Overall, I would recommend bluehost for hosting your website. |

| Things that bug me most:
- No secure login to the administration panel. I don't feel okay sending the username and password for administration panel in cleartext over the Internet. - No hardcopy or PDF billing receipts. In most countries receipts are needed for documenting business expenses so they can be deducted from one's taxes. Hardcopy receipts would be best, but PDF ones will also do. Upon request, I only got an ugly ASCII text copy & paste of billing data in an email. Not very professional. I also think the administration panel is somewhat kludgy and not very pleasing to the eye. I also don't quite understand why the 3 different stat systems, each show different stats (e.g. hit counts) for the same periods of time. Otherwise they have been pretty okay. |

| After my previous nightmarish experience with another hosting company, Bluehost is heaven. No problems at all. I have 4 domains on one account and have had no downtime. On the few occasions I've called their tech support I was thrilled to speak to someone whose first language is English and who actually knew what they were talking about. | |||
