While writing for GoDaddy alternatives, I had briefly explained why Bluehost was one of my choice. In this article I will do a thorough BlueHost Review and let you know if you should consider it for hosting your website.

With over 2 million hosted websites, BlueHost is one of Internet’s most popular web hosting companies.

The low cost shared hosting from BlueHost is one of the most popular in its product line which also includes VPS hosting, dedicated hosting, domains, email, content delivery network and cloud hosting.

The average monthly searches for the exact keyword BlueHost, establishes the fact they’re one of the most popular hosting providers.

The hosting solution from BlueHost includes shared hosting, vps hosting, dedicated hosting and WordPress hosting.

If you’re already hosted with some other provider, BlueHost has a paid migration service that allows you to fully migrate upto 5 websites and 20 email accounts.

BlueHost Review

1. Pricing:

Probably the number one reason for their popularity is their low introductory pricing.

Don’t forget to use these coupon codes to get discount from BlueHost hosting plans.

2. Server Speed:

When tested with website monitoring tools, BlueHost shows up with fair results.

With a load time of 2.21 seconds, BlueHost may not be the best in the industry; however considering the prices for their offerings the load time is fairly good.

3. Bluehost Uptime and Site Speed Test:

We have been monitoring Bluehost’s Uptime and Site speed over the years. Here below you can see the history of last 2 months.

It has improved when compared to previous test.

A quick search on the Internet for BlueHost uptime statistics reveal that many individuals have tested BlueHost’s uptime over a period of time using different website monitoring tools. And all these results show an uptime of 99% or above.

Further BlueHost states on it’s website (Network / Server Uptime Agreement) that if you leave them early due to server downtime, you won’t be charged. This is good, and reflects their commitment to providing uninterrupted services.

4. WordPress:

There’s no doubt that WordPress is the most widely used content management system in the world.

The usage report from W3 Techs (Historical yearly trends) suggests that 26.6% of all websites in the world are powered by WordPress – that’s more than 1 in every 4 websites on the Internet.

To be officially recommended by the world’s most popular web management platform is certainly a testimonial in itself – BlueHost is number one in the list of officially recommended web hosting platforms by WordPress (WordPress Web Hosting).

If you want to install wordpress on Bluehost follow this detailed guide.

5. Cloud Sites:

BlueHost’s recently launched cloud hosting service (also known as Cloud Sites) allows you to host your website on the cloud.

Cloud Sites automatically replicates your website across three devices, thereby eliminating the risk of downtime. Multiple copies of your website also means faster response time for the user. Cloud Sites also allows you to increase your CPU and RAM allocation as your website starts getting more traffic.

6. Spam protection:

BlueHost has three tools dedicated to protecting users against spam – Spam Assassin, SpamExperts and Spam Hammer.

7. SpamExperts:

(SpamExperts Spam and Virus Filtering) works by routing your incoming emails through their email filtering system, looking for and eliminating spam and viruses.

8. SpamHammer:

(Spam Hammer) prevents spam by using a technique that’s commonly known as graylisting. BlueHost’s mail server first rejects any incoming email from a server that’s not on their whitelist.

This is done with an assumption that a legitimate mail server will always retry delivery after sometime. The next time it attempts a delivery, the incoming email is accepted.

9. Content caching:

BlueHost is integrated with CloudFare – a content caching solution (Using CloudFlare).

Once enabled, the content hosted on BlueHost gets distributed across CloudFare servers, which are located around the world. When a request comes in, content is loaded from the server that is closest to the user.

This means improved site performance. This also means that in the event of a downtime on BlueHost’s server, your content will still be served from cache stored on CloudFare’s servers.

10. Customer support:

BlueHost has got excellent customer support in terms of self-help, chat and phone support. They have dedicated 24/7 phone and chat support for a number of sales requirements including new business, website performance and web security. They also have dedicated 24/7 phone and chat support for technical issues such as assistance with hosting and WordPress.

About Bluehost

Conclusion

To summarize this BlueHost review, I can say that BlueHost is a good hosting provider to start with. The low starting price and the 30-day money back guarantee make it an option worth considering.

Being officially recommended by WordPress also makes it a reliable choice. If you’re looking to host your website on the cloud, BlueHost’s Cloud Sites is a cheap option when compared with other offerings in the industry.

If you’re looking for a cheap and reliable hosting solution, BlueHost could be your best option. But also keep in mind that the low price comes with a service contract.

If you’re hosting your personal blog or may be a small business BlueHost is certainly a recommended choice.
