Happy Since 96

Jan 18 2012

I have been using Bluehost since 1996 and have only had one problem in the last five years concerning uptime. They claimuptime of 99.9% and that is not always the case but otherwise I am happy.

14 Sites With BlueHost

Dec 23 2011

I have about 14 websites (all php/mysql based) with Bluehost, and never,ever had a problem. Their customer service is very friendly and responds within minutes almost, and whatever needs you have (cron, ssl, you name it), it's there. Highly recommended!

customer service makes them best

Dec 29 2011

Bluehost excels in customer service. In fact, their customer service alone makes them worthy of one's business. They are also stable, reliable, offer very good pricing, and a great feature set. Highly recommended.

Reliability

Dec 10 2011

I've been using bluehost since 2006, and for a shared hosting environment knowing that my server is being shared among a lot of users, their services have been better than i initially expected. Given the load the reliability & uptime is also good! and the live chat is a very good and efficient way to get minor issues resolved.

Linux Server

Dec 10 2011

I moved my forum database (not the domain) from another hosting site about 2 or more years ago because the backup utilities at the other hosting site were terrible and unreliable. Bluehost uses a Linux server and my backups are so simple now --- and they also do their own site-by-site backups regularly for easy restore.

Love Them

Nov 23 2011

I'm very satisfied with BlueHost. We have switched all clients hosting through us to BlueHost (15 sites). Uptime and support has been great. I especially like the live chats as typically I don't have to wait more than a minute or two.

Made In The U.S.A

Oct 24 2011

The one thing that caught my eye when looking at different companies was that BlueHost provided support that was based in the United States. There is nothing worse then trying to get assistance from customer service, then having to attempt to understand what the customer support "expert" is saying. Based on that alone, I decided to try out BlueHost and I am so glad that I did. The eCommerce power package was perfect for my needs and the one click script installer made set up a little simpler. I also got to speak to a customer support tech that understood what I was asking and gave me a solution that I understood. Way to go BlueHost! You manage to provide what many other business in America do not.

Great for scripts and high bandwidth

Aug 17 2011

I loved the Fantastico Installer which install scripts very easily. Bandwith is so much that you will never run out of it.

They give you everything

Aug 17 2011

There is nothing that I did not find in Bluehost hosting. They give you everything. Unlike other webhosts, the web site configuration is very easy. The hosting is loaded with options. The best thing is unlimited hosting space and unlimited domain names.

Aug 17 2011

Support is always very helpful and quick to answer. They answer queries very professionally whether over the phone or online chat. I never had any problems with them. The only problem I had was mySQL connect error, which they responded to very quickly and tackled in 5 minutes.
