It's turnkey and easy to access. Bluehost Customer Service is super nice too and willing to roll up their sleeves to dig into your problem.
There seems to be a conflicting amount of knowledge from one CS rep to another which can sometimes make problem-solving a but frustrating.
A reliable hosting company. Our site has never crashed.
- Very simple to sign up for - Works well with WordPress - Payment is easy - Great support documentation with videos
- User interface is good, but somewhat outdated and clunky at times - Other than that, met all of my needs for domain purchase and web hosting
I needed a website host that work well with Wordpress, and this met my need. No significant benefits as opposed to any other hosting service provider.
I like that after I signed up I got a few phone calls from Bluehost telling me that they wanted to sign me up with my account rep. I haven't followed through on setting this up but it felt like very personalized service.
The interface isn't quite as intuitive as I'd like but I think if I spend some time on the phone working with a Bluehost account rep I'll be able to get my website set up the way I want.
I need to set up a website for myself to promote my books and my editorial services. So far I haven't gotten very far but that's more from my lack of time to address the situation.
You don't need to have any experience to start your website. Also, they offer different plans for different websites. Support is really fast, no downtime in the 2 years I've been with them. Even the basic plans will give you more than enough disk space, databases, etc. About price: Even though its a bit pricier than most competitors, it becomes really affordable if you have to host more than one website.
Integrated email gets really slow sometimes. Not even near the email quota and you will experience slow navigation. There is not much documentation on simple functions (like subdomains), but you can get them done pretty easy if you contact customer support.
I'm starting to move my other websites to a single hosting plan. Its cheaper in the long term and with great support.
Simple interface and good pricing. I only log in once a year to renew but it's a simple process.
I have had issues getting my CC to work with auto pay.
Hosting a small website and database
Bluehost is a long time player in the ISP market and has a long history of fairly solid service. Today it offers many traditional hosting services and support for most publishing platforms. Like many ISPs today, Bluehost offers a nice range of services for everything from Drupal sites to online databases. It is also fairly easy to use and learn.
Like others had stated, Bluehost can sometimes have less than helpful service. However, they do offer many guides and online aids for navigating their services.
Hosting CMS sites, setting basic websites, and managing current sites.
Customer service is quite good. Chat feature with customer service works well with immediate answers. This is in regards to basic features provided by bluehost.
instructions for more advanced features are lacking.
Simple website hosting.
I really like the never-ending promotion for new customers, having 50% discount on the first year!!
Limited payment options to credit/debit card. It would be great to pay via PayPal, Google Wallet or Amazon Payments.
I'm a game developer, blogger, and I'm on my way to start blogging for profit. Bluehost really helped me start my first blogs at an affordable price that first year when my budget was really tight.
I used blue host for hosting a blog and got a deal with a special offer. It was easy to set up, and switching my hosting to bluehost was simple. They gave me a deal since to host with them since I used wordpress. Also, when I signed up I worked with a customer service member who was extremely nice and stayed on the line with me even though they were about to close.
Nothing as of yet. I only left them because I stopped using wordpress in favor of a static jekyll site. Otherwise I likely would have stayed.
Not provided
Support Services is excellent. Their on-call support service is provided.
If I use so, I don't have any problems managing hosting and pointing the domain and access to file
I don't have any problem
