"Great low-cost and robust hosting for most SMBs"
What do you like best about Bluehost?

Low-cost service, no misunderstood fees, straightforward offerings, Office365 and Google Apps integration (or email forwarding) and unlimited domains (good for small agencies/consultants looking to host multiple SMB sites). Easy to get a website up and going, protect it and use WordPress.

What do you dislike about Bluehost?

Speeds. Managed hosting is expensive, and shared hosting can eat at speeds, affecting SEO. Speeds. The back end always feels like they are trying to upsell you on someting. Speeds - like using cable for internet - when everyone's on, it is sloooooooow.

What problems is Bluehost solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was looking for inexpensive hosting services for a SMB. The price difference returned an ROI within a month or two. Much easier to use that GoDaddy.

"Reliable, fast hosting at a good price"
What do you like best about Bluehost?

You get fast, reliable hosting without the higher costs of services like SSL (secure hosting with https). SSL is included in the hosting at no additional cost.

What do you dislike about Bluehost?

This is a very minor downside. Bluehost will occasionally ask you to use their Wordpress features. I just ignore them. You do NOT need to make a Wordpress site in order to use Bluehost.

What problems is Bluehost solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving, mainly, the high costs that I was experiencing with my previous hosting services, to get an SSL (https) certificate. There is no additional cost with Bluehost for SSL.

"Decent hosting. Better then some, worse than some. "
What do you like best about Bluehost?

In terms of speed, bluehost is decent. It's slower than some competitors; however, those competitors are much more expensive. I love the pricing. Bluehost is very cheap when it comes to value vs price. I also find it awesome how Bluehost gives you a free domain with your plan.

What do you dislike about Bluehost?

I've had several times where our company website crashes and I take the blame. Bluehost's support is very good in fixing this; however, it shouldn't happen in the first place.

What problems is Bluehost solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hosting a website and domain on the internet at a cheap price.

"Bluehost is at a top level. But the pricing and plans should be better."
What do you like best about Bluehost?

I have used WordPress hosting and then shared hosting, and everything works like a charm. I don't complain about them, mainly because the performance was excellent. Almost all hosting plans have a free domain.

What do you dislike about Bluehost?

The pricing plans are always a problem for any kick-starter project. Bluehost sometimes offers discounts but for a minimal time, and I couldn't if you are a new customer. Then you will be treated with the original high price.

What problems is Bluehost solving and how is that benefiting you?

A good reliable host to host your online project. The server uptime is almost 100%, as I didn't suffer any downtime for my website or customer complaints regarding this.

"I Was Surprised by the Level of Control Hidden Beneath Bluehost's Surface"
What do you like best about Bluehost?

I administered Bluehost for one of my previous employers. We managed our web hosting, emails, and several site builders through their platform. On its surface, Bluehost looked like an entry-level web hosting platform. But there was a ton of functionality and features hidden beneath its surface. It was straightforward to create and configure employee email addresses. We could easily apply company signatures, manage passwords and password resets, and specify different settings depending on the account we were adjusting. Although we had somebody else who physically managed our website through Bluehost, I recall from my limited experience in that area that there was plenty of room for technical adjustments to things like DNS settings, analytics, etc. This was great compared to products like Google Workspace, where many settings are either buried deep and impossible to find, or off-limits altogether. Bluehost seemed comfortable in allowing its users to exercise control!

What do you dislike about Bluehost?

I had one experience with Bluehost support. It was clear from our call that their support was outsourced. This is not actually an issue that bothers me, but there were communication barriers between the support staff and I that made resolving our ticket a little bit more complicated than it could have been otherwise. Additionally, from what I recall, neither the first-level nor escalated support staff was able to solve that issue (which was pertaining to DNS Settings). We had to work with a 3rd party technical team to correct this issue and bring our site back online. In summary, there are definitely settings in Bluehost that you should avoid if you're not well versed in web development!

What problems is Bluehost solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bluehost solved our problem of being able to host our domains, websites, and company email system all in one single place. They were also highly cost-effective, with very competitive monthly pricing. Additionally, in spite of the low pricing, we had a good deal of advanced features that other platforms reserve for more expensive plans. When I was using Bluehost, it was in the healthcare field. There are policies in place requiring certain documentation to be kept for several years. With Bluehost, we had unlimited email storage, and we were easily able to arrange our stored emails in compliant ways.

"Excellent service for web hosting and domain"
What do you like best about Bluehost?

They have a long-standing relationship with the WordPress community. There are many things like price, reliability, money-back guarantee that are excellent, apart from those, I saw no hidden charges when signing up for an account.

What do you dislike about Bluehost?

The only concern is when we have to renew the free domain, the renewal price is significantly higher. Another thing is, there is an aggressive upsell process during signup.

What problems is Bluehost solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was very new initially with websites and all and had minimal traffic volume. Thus there was an option called shared hosting, which helped me significantly in reducing my costs. And new developers should always use this.

"Review - Bluehost Web Hosting Service"
What do you like best about Bluehost?

The Bluehost user interface is so easy to use that a nontechnical person can also build and deploy their website quickly. The support team of Bluehost is just brilliant, and they are available 24/7, They have chat, phone and email support team, who are ready to help you with most of the issues. Bluehost supports one click installation of most of the popular CMS such as WordPress, Weebly, Laravel etc. Shared Servers are available for reasonable cost and the up time is also superb!

What do you dislike about Bluehost?

The pricing for VPS hosting is quite costly, and they do not provide Windows hosting; they support only Linux web hosting. Other than this, I love Bluehost in all other aspects.

What problems is Bluehost solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was interested in creating a portfolio website and a couple of blogs. With the help of Bluehost and WordPress, I built my websites with ease, and I am earning well from my website. Also, I don't need to worry about security of my webistes, as Bluehost provides SSL, and malware scaning features as addon service.
