Bluehost Hosting Review

Bluehost, which began in 1996, touts itself as an affordable and reliable webhosting provider that serves over 475,000, domains/websites. I feel I’m qualified to do a Bluehost review because I actually use Bluehost.com for some of my CMS/Blogs.BlueHost has some amazing features in its control panel. SSH is just one of the tools Bluehost comes packed with. What is SSH you may ask? Basically a SSH connection is a way for two computers to connect securely to each other without worry from outside interference or hacking. With SSH you can transfer files or have remote logins without worry because your Bluehost SSH encrypts info for you.

Crowns

Like most other hosts they do offer 24/7 toll free lines for support. Also you have a knowledge base, online chat and email support available. Better still, they have an active support forum which is a real help for the newbies. You get to share the information with support staff as well as experienced webmasters. Support tickets may not be fastest, but they do get replied in a reasonable time limit.

• Bluehost offers 24/7 managed care and tech support for your site. In my mind this is absolutely essential for any low cost web hosting service. Based on our personal experience with Bluehost and what we read in Bluehost reviews, the staff has always been honest, professional, courteous and will give you as much time as you need to help you with your issue.
• The Bluehost Contol Panel is easy to navigate and comes with Fantastico, where you can get automatic and free downloads to put blogs, a CMS, forums, mailing programs, etc. seamlessly on your site with just a click of the mouse. Amazing!
• Drop and drag unlimited FTP makes it so simple for a non tech guy like me to upload files to my site.
• How can you beat the $6.95 per month Bluehost charges for all the features they offer?
