website run without a hitch

Aug 17 2011

I recently created my site at bluehost. I have now been here for a few months, and must say that I am pleased more than I ever hoped to have been. Their sales staff was great at helping me get things ready to go. And their tech support has been amazing at helping to make sure everything is just perfect. My website run without a hitch, the stats and features you offer are beyond value, especially for the price you charge. Their cpanel is so easy to use and they have simple scripts which ready to go for peoples, who don't know lot about technical stuff. I just wanted to take a moment to thank bluehost and make sure bluehost are aware of the great work your staff is doing. I will be hosting my site with bluehost for many years to come. And will be recommending it to others

surprised at how quick the set up was

Aug 17 2011

When I signed up for Bluehost, and got activated, almost instantly, I was surprised at how quick the set up was. Just a few minutes later, after installing Wordpress to test out my new hosting, I was amazed at how fast the systems ran. Soon after, I purchased a dedicated IP, so I could run a piece of software on the server. After about ten seconds after opening a live support chat, a friendly operator accepted my live support chat, and opened a port on the server for me, which took less than two minutes.
Once or twice there was a little bit of downtime, but this was clearly stated on their site, as it was for maintenance purposes. It lasted slightly less than ten minutes.

nice low fee & great uptime

Aug 17 2011

BlueHost is what I would call an All-Start website host. With a nice low fee, a great uptime, and the features of the major hosts; what more can you get from a website host? BlueHost may put you on a shared server but having a OS-48 BackBone server an almost 100% uptime, and a low amount of users on each shared server you almost forget your on a shared server after purchasing your account.

set up was amazing fast

Aug 17 2011

I was using bluehost for one year, I bought the hosting for my own script..some portal billing, set up was amazing fast, in one day it was finished, then I uploaded my script, everything worked, I had a lot of traffic to start, but my database wasn't optimized for lots of trafic and lots of accounts.. then came the magic of bluehost, I wasnt asking for any help, they contacted me on mail, that my script is badly programed, and they helped me to optimize my database, and sql queries..

No fuss and very simple!

Aug 17 2011

The technical expertise needed to use BlueHost are simple (depending on what you want to do). I sub host a domain on my account and installed a WordPress blog on this - the WordPress integration is excellent. No fuss and very simple!

Some problems with uptime

Aug 7 2011

We picked Blue Host because they seemed like one of the larger companies. The cost is a little more than others and for that extra, they need to figure out a way to communicate with their users via email when they are having a power outage. This happened a while back and their response could have been more timely. Other than that, there are no major problems.

handled my issues very carefully and helped me out in every way

Aug 17 2011

It's good to be their customer and I sometimes think why I didn't purchased their hosting account from the beginning when I started building websites and purchasing hosting with some other companies. Their support is quite good. Reliable and knowledgeable technicians are always online to help me whenever I need them. Bluehost have always handled my issues very carefully and helped me out in every way
