A review of the Bluehost web hosting service and whether it is a good host - By: Max Hoffman

Bluehost is a website hosting company founded by Matt Heaton and it is based in Provo, Utah. They run massive data center which is based in Orem but their offices have moved south a mile to Provo. Bluehost has grown rapidly and is now one of the largest suppliers of shared web hosting. They have a no frills one plan fits all offering. Bluehost is almost shared hosting as Matt Heaton has historically explained. They want to just target this one offering and do that well. Depending on the period for which you choose 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 period of your hosting contract the less expensive the monthly rate you have got to pay.

The standard shared hosting package comes with all of 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 the start in there. If you are familiar with this control panel it isn't different from other hosts though Bluehost does allow a more liberal scripting environment. For instance you can edit your php.ini at the account level and they also support more programming languages than other shared webhosting 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 in the main pretty recent with the latest versions. Some of the hottest scripts in this package include wordpress, phpbb, phplist, drupal, and joomla.

Support at Bluehost is provided via phonephone, email and live chat. The two I have relied on were e-mail and live chat. With both live chat and e-mail if you bump into a level one technician it could be sensible if he can't resolve your query right away to try again and get an increased level engineer as they are typically very good. All in all Bluehost is a host that provides a good shared hosting package at a fair price and offers good support.
