Overall Satisfaction with Bluehost

We currently use Bluehost as our playground for web development and small projects. Bluehost is really quick and simple to set up Wordpress instances, DNS and has a reliant Cpanel. New Users can frequently get good deals or free domains for a year on their first signup and they have decent support, better than the competitors at similar price points.
  • The SSL is included in the hosting.
  • Price Point is great for small projects.
  • Bluehost has 24/7 support online and the techs that are knowledgable, unlike GoDaddy.
  • Simplistic hosting might not be good if you have high volumes of traffic.
  • Phone support could be better.
  • Web hosting is reliable with 0 downtimes so far for minor sites. They also keep up to date on PHP versions so they aren't bogged down.
GoDaddy & Network Solutions are both priced similarly. I recommend Bluehost over both of these because of its support and upgrade cycles. NS hasn't been updated in what seems like a decade. GoDaddy, on top of its shady advertising and predatory behavior, has terrible support.
The tech support is the main reason I recommend BH over the other two options. 24/7 Email support and the chat client are both great options and the staff was knowledgable.

Bluehost is easy to use and much more affordable than other hosting platforms. I also love that if I ever have trouble with something the customer service is available on an instant chat and have always been able to help me get my problem resolved. Bluehost is great for small businesses just getting started or experimenting with web hosting on your own.
