BlueHost Technical Support
2009-06-06 00:02:00
Bluehost give customers a number of choices when it comes to technical support. Firstly, there is the superb on-line help-center, where you can browse or search a large knowledge base of articles on a diverse range of subjects; this is often the quickest and easiest way to solve a problem. The help-center also provides the ability to open a support ticket directly to Bluehost support staff. We opened a number of support tickets during our test period and found the replies to be both prompt and accurate.For those that prefer receiving their technical support from a 'real live human', Bluehost provide a 24 hour / 7 day technical support phone number. Bluehost also supply a separate technical support number for those customers outside of the United States.

BlueHost Reliability
2009-06-05 23:55:00
Massive storage space, bandwidth and plan features are of no use if your chosen web host lacks basic network reliability. Nothing sours a relationship with a web host faster than frequent downtime. Of-course, some planned downtime is unavoidable, for things like network upgrades and maintenance, but a good host will keep such outages to a minimum and provide adequate warning to their customers.Thankfully, we can report that our Bluehost test site experienced excellent reliability. We only detected one short 30-minute outage during our 3-month monitoring period. While we would have preferred no downtime at all, the 30 minutes represents only a very small percentage of the total, and our overall uptime during the 3 months was in excess of the 'magic' 99.9% that is often quoted by other web h

About BlueHost

Bluehost was founded in 1996, making them one of the oldest web hosting providers still operating. The fact that they have managed to survive in the often cut-throat web hosting business says a lot about the quality of services that they provide. Many lesser companies have come and gone in the years that Bluehost has been providing quality solutions to web-masters.As you would expect from a company that has been in business for as long as Bluehost, their network infrastructure is first-class. The Bluehost data center is equipped with modern quad processor servers, mirrored storage backups, UPS / diesel backup power generator and 24/7 monitoring by trained technical staff. Internet connectivity is provided by an impressive OC-48 backbone connection, providing in excess of 2 Gbit / second ba

Blue host was the first web host I've used, and so far its gone well. I did have issues with my web browser. I'm on a mac, and was using firefox and every time I would try to connect to the ftp I would receive a message that said the page did not exist. I did call in to the help line and went through various ways to try and connect, which included emptying my cache about a dozen times, and still didn't get an answer (which is why its a 4, but they genuinely seemed to be trying to find an answer as they had someone in the office connecting with firefox) and it works fine on safari. It is a little messy at first, but after a while you get the hang of it. So far no big issues have happened that would cause me to advise against bluehost.From: Kenosha, WI

I've had Bluehost for 3 years. They are great because of their price. I notice that their up time is a little less than desirable, so if you run an e-commerce site, be careful. Also, most of their services for managing your site are not SSL enabled, which in 2009, doesn't seem acceptable. Otherwise, they are a great cheap serviceFrom: Va

I was new to using Wordpress, and Bluehost was able to provide my site with 1-click installs of everything I needed to get the site up and running. It has been 2 years now, and I have never had any downtime or issues of any kind. I would highly recommend Bluehost. Since that time I have also signed up a number of my clients through their service, and all are just as happy with them.From: California

I am currently hosting about 10 websites with Bluehost. As with any company you are going to have some problems. I have only had a couple of times where I have had to threaten to take my business else where for them to get their act together. I would recommend them to people that want to host a fun site. All my "mission critical" sites are hosted on dedicated servers.From: Texas
