For those who say their uptime and site load time has been great with wordpress, I suspect it’s because they aren’t checking their site often.
I've had Bluehost for over a year and am deeply disappointed. The people who run the service spend all their time pitching Em excesso services instead of making their service better. When I sought advice from them, they recommended I buy services that I later found I didn't need. (They lied to me.) When I tried to turn off the autorenew for these services, I was told by their rep that THERE WAS NO WAY TO TURN OFF AUTORENEW.
Finally the number of email accounts and amount of email storage on the Basic plan is quite limited. Perhaps not so much the number of emails as most users never use more than 5 email addresses, but having only 100MB of email storage space is quite low and you can quickly run out of space.
As per my experience for me, it felt a little bit complicated but the service and customer support is great.
But for starters, it is really difficult to use aws or google hosting server. You need to be well-versed with a command line to use these services. That’s why I recommend a shared hosting provider.
Last week I received an email from them stating that ‘Emergency Maintenance†was required on my box, and that it would entail 30-90 minutes of downtime. Not so. They completely broke my site, and I am unable to get through to their technical support, so I have critical data trapped in a database I can’t access because they scrambled the configuration.
This isn’t all that uncommon a result for a shared hosting plan. For a small site receiving few simultaneous visitors, your Bluehost sitio may perform fairly well. However, if you anticipate higher levels of traffic, you’re going to need a more robust option.
Bluehost’s shared WordPress hosting caters to relative newbies. If you fall into this group, chances are you’ll have some questions about how to set up and maintain your sitio.
And after almost a year of having this same issue every two or three months i still do not have a long lasting solution and it seems that every day their customer support gets worse.
Somehow Bluehost has become one of the top web hosting services, but don’t fall for the glowing recommendations. It baffles me that bloggers continuously heap praise on Bluehost and enthusiastically recommend it.
After a couple months of trouble free time on the new cloud server, issues started popping up again. Frequent server down times or restarts, random reverse proxy or load ballancer timeouts. As soon as I can find a block of time to migrate my web site I am leaving.
If any of my sites get popular or start making me money, I would probably switch over to something else. But for now, the price is great – I locked in my rate for 3 years so I wouldn’t have to worry about the price going up..
(this I don't consider a negative, just a factor of doing business) I tried a WordPress site, but found the format too constricting. I eventually used an HTML based product and I was easily able to upload those files and create my website. I nesse site wholly recommend BlueHost as web hosting provider.
So, if by the end of this review you want to sign up with them, then feel free to enjoy this offer. However, rest assured this deal doesn’t make us biased towards Bluehost. We still base all our reviews solely on real data like uptime, speed, and cost.
