Value For Money
Bluehost has an excellent track record of being one of the top hosts in the industry. If you have been doing your research you will notice, they come up more often then not, and for reason! They have been around for more then a decade so they have the experience under their belt to help you get started out while you take your first steps in the world wide web.
All the plans on offer by Bluehost are of great value and reliability. Their plan provides you unlimited disk space to store your website, and unlimited of bandwidth. Other hosts provides similar features, but more often then not their standards fall elsewhere. What I really like about Bluehost is the fact that they try and sell to you based on what you need, and don’t try and woo you with gimmicks that you will probably never use.
Their plan also provides you with a free domain which you can keep forever. 2500 email accounts, web based email accounts, and unlimited domain names.
Reliability
We have a number of sites hosted with Bluehost, so have been able to test them thoroughly. Setup has always been a breeze, and any technical difficulties that popped up where easily and quickly handles by their more then capable staff. The reason for their speed and reliablilty is thanks to their Quad Processor Opteron servers, which is why they are often far ahead of their competitors.
Control Panel
Bluehost uses Cpanel and as mentioned before, comes loaded with many great features to manage your websites. The user interface is extremely easy to use with a very small learning curve. Other features, such as billing have been integrated into the system to keep things uncluttered and uncomplicated allowing you to get down to what you actually need to do.
Customer Support
Bluehost’s support is one of the industries best, we have often been left pleasantly surprised at the amount of effort an agent would take to try and solve our problems quickly and as painlessly as possible.
