BlueHost Features Explained
Our Rating: 96%

We have been monitoring BlueHost for more than 6 months and we have been seeing that they keep changing the plan features. Every time they changed their plan features, they gave us some surprises. For example, in their most recent change in late Nov 2005, they increase their diskspace from 4000MB to 30,000MB and bandwidth from 100GB to 750GB! The best thing about the increase is they still charge it at the same low price of $7.95 per month.

Majority of the small business/ecommerce website would not need such huge diskspace and bandwidth. That is why they added another powerful feature to make the increase justifiable: They allow you to add up to 6 websites in one account. So in average, each of your website can take up 6000MB diskspace and 125GB bandwidth. This amount would be more than enough for a medium to big businesses.

BlueHost is one of the top hosts out there who offer the most diskspace and bandwidth, but they do not give you too many MySQL accounts and subdomains. While some hosts like Hostgator and PowWeb offer unlimited MySQL accounts and subdomains, BlueHost only gives up to 50 MySQL databases and 20 subdomains. Normally for medium size businesses, you would only need less than 10 MySQL databases and 10 subdomains so BlueHost plan doesn't look too bad compared to others.

Besides basic features, their plan is also packed with e-commerce solutions (SSL, shopping cart etc), website builder and site promotion package. For site promotion package, they only include 3 general resources, that is, search engine submission, keyword analyzer and search position report. As site promotion is the core part of an online business, if they could increase more features in this category, that'll make the plan even better. However, since they are they are offering only one plan, we are quite sure that they'll keep improving the plan and give their customers the best.

BlueHost Customer Support
Our Rating: 94%

BlueHost created a centralized support section where you'll be able to find your answers by using their search box. If the answer you need cannot be found, you can then open a support ticket. They offer three section to file the support queries. To get quick response, it is advisable that you choose the most appropriate department to submit the support ticket. Normally, all queries take less than a day to get addressed.

This support section doesn't have FAQ section yet. Also, at the time this BlueHost review is written, their account login feature is not available yet. This shows that this support center is still under development. We'll go to their site regularly to test the features in the support center and will update our site whenever the bugs have been fixed and/or new features are added.

One thing that BlueHost is lacking is their live chat support. If you need instant response from their sales or support team, the only way is through their phone support.

BlueHost Popularity
Our Rating: 94%

Compared to early 2005, BlueHost's marketing director has layout many aggressive plans to take BlueHost to even higher height. They have spent a lot of advertising money to make BlueHost one of the most popular host in the world.

Combined with the successful marketing campaign, excellent plan features and customer support, all their effort starts to pay off now. They are now the top 4,000 highest traffic site based on Alexa and host more than 80,000 domains.

This success would get even more long-lasting if they have got themselves listed on some very good independent review sites like Webhostmagazine and Findmyhosting.

BlueHost Datacenter
Our Rating: 95%

Your site will be hosted in high performance Xeon Servers. Their datacenters are designed to be protected from power failure, physical intrusion and network outages by extensive UPS and Diesel power back-up and cooling systems, multi-layered security, and network redundancy and diversity.

Also, their use high speed OC-48 Backbone Connection to connect your site to the internet. With their high quality redundant systems you can be sure that your data is always available for both you and your customers.

Conclusion

What makes BlueHost excellent is their unbeatable plan features. Their plan is perfect for medium size businesses. With over 30,000MB (or 30GB) diskspace, 750GB bandwidth offered and 6 websites hosted in one account at just $7.95 is simply exceptional. This is another good example where cheap hosting in price doesn't mean "cheap" in quality and support.

When we talk about QUALITY cheap web hosting service, BlueHost is among the top in the industry.
