A review of the Bluehost web hosting service and whether it is a recommended host

BlueHost is a web hosting company founded by Matt Heaton and it is based in Provo, Utah. They run big information center which is based in Orem but their offices have moved south a mile to Provo. Bluehost has grown fast and is now one of the biggest providers of shared web hosting. They've a no frills one plan fits all offering. Bluehost is nearly shared hosting as Matt Heaton has often explained. They need to just target this one offering and do that well. Depending on the period for which you make a decision to order web hosting from Bluehost you pay between 9.95 monthly or 6.95 depending on the ordering cycle you enter. The longer the length of your hosting contract the cheaper the monthly rate you've got to pay. The standard shared hosting package incorporates all the features you would expect from such a plan including cpanel. You can login simply into your cpanel from the bluehost main page and start your web venture from nothing in there. If you are familiar with this control panel it isn't different from other hosts although Bluehost does allow a more liberal scripting environment. For example you can edit your php.ini at the account level and they also support more programming languages than other shared web hosting plans like Python and Ruby on Rails. Installing new scripts is no problem because their cpanel features the fantastico script installer package and it is by and large pretty up to date with the latest versions. Some of the most well liked scripts in this package include wordpress, phpbb, phplist, drupal, and joomla. Support at Bluehost is provided thru telephone, email and live discuss. The two I have trusted were email and live discuss. With both live discuss and email if you bump into a level one technician it could be wise if he can not resolve your query straight away to try again and get an increased level engineer as they are typically excellent. All in all Bluehost is a host that provides a very good shared hosting package at an acceptable price and offers good support.
