Bluehost
I’ve been looking to switch web hosts for some time. Even though I had a great relationship with the tech support person and had been with the company for almost 10 years, I was paying three times more for my hosting than what was offered at comparable hosting companies. After participating in a program where a colleague was using this new company, I decided to make the leap.
Bluehost is a cPanel hosting service (this is the administrative interface that lets you control many aspects of your hosting account) that offers customers the option of hosting an unlimited number of domains. While the additional domains are set up in a fashion that was somewhat foreign to me, the tutorials provided helped me easily understand their organizational system.
Bluehost also offers:
- Unlimited GB Hosting Space
- Unlimited GB File Transfer
- Unlimited E-mail Accounts
- Free Site Builder w/ templates
- 99.9% Network Uptime Guarantee
I like to use its 1-click Scripts feature, which lets you easily install open source programs like WordPress, Joomla, ZenCart, phpBB, and more. I’ve only used the WordPress option at this point, but the install occurred flawlessly and the new WP update that was recently issued was updated to all of my installs of WP without a problem.
My other favorite feature is the Unlimited FTP option, which is essentially an FTP program built into your Bluehost account to enable you to easily upload new files to any of your domains. I love it because I don’t have to open another program and fumble around for FTP info. All I have to do is log into my Bluehost account and it’s ready and waiting for me there.
They’ve just added a Postini spam filter option to email accounts. This is a service I use with another account at another company, and is does an amazing job of preventing spam from hitting my inbox.
