BlueHost is an award-winning web hosting brand, one of the best web hosting 2012, with over 15 years' experience serving for millions of domains and having over 20,000 new customers in a month.

BlueHost devotes to offer an all-in-one web hosting package from the start, designed for personal and small businesses. Their web hosting features, reliability, security, performance and customer service are all unmatched with the budget pricing at $3.95/month, about 50% discount from the regular $6.95/month in addition to a free domain name for life and $75 free Google AdWords voucher.

Unlike other web hosts fully utilizing 3rd-party solutions, BlueHost is also a high technical company. They customize Linux kernel particularly for shared web hosting, optimizing performance, enhancing security, and restricting over-using resources by some bad users. BlueHost also developed the online application installer SimpleScripts by themselves in 2008, which was designed to help web hosting users unfamiliar with web technologies to get their website built up simply. It's similar to Fantastico of cPanel, but actually works much better.

The killer part is that BlueHost is the only company has their own data center offering shared web hosting service. BlueHost invested 8.5 millions of USD to build up an approximately 12,000 square ft sized data center in 2010. So far, they have invested tens of millions of USD on the data center. The huge investment is valued actually. It allows them to have the capability to take care of servers and network much more efficiently than other web hosts.

As a historical and reputed company, BlueHost is absolutely trust-worth. They have no hidden fee, and provide instant set-up and ANYTIME money back guarantee. To learn more, visit http://www.bluehost.com for more information.

    While finding a local web host (Canada) I got BlueHost and decide to sign up for a try based on their money back guarantee and lots of positive reviews. Now I think I made a right choose at that time. The site loads very fast here, although it's 800+ miles far away. I'd like to recommend it to all my friends nearby.

    While I'm fully satisfied with all the web hosting services of BlueHost, I would like to emphasize on the rich features. When I researched the web hosts before the purchase, I rarely find a budget web host under $10/mo, which supported SSH and ruby on rails, except BlueHost.

    Now I have multiple accounts from 4 different web hosts. BlueHost is absolutely the best host. Whenever I had a question, I could always get a support staff to talk with. Otherwise I would not upgrade the cheap plan to the pro package today.

    The 2 representatives worked with me fixing a dedicated IP configuration issue were very supportive, friendly and professional. I have used the Bluehost common plan for 2 years, and yesterday have decided to upgrade to the Pro package. Everything goes very well.

    I hosted painfully with Godaddy in 2012 so I thought I should try Bluehost after read many good reviews about this company. These 2 companies like white and black. The prices are comparable, but the Bluehost customer support is so nice.

    The technical staff Brian was very supportive, knowledgeable and patient - helped me set the dedicated IP address up for my sites. I love to talk with a real people instead of waiting for hours for the support via email.

    These guys are doing amazing work. I was alerted for the site hack due to a serious hole in a bad WP plugin at 4:50AM yesterday. With the hand by hand guide from a representative, I could get my site back in just a few minutes thanks to the Bluehost powerful "Site Backup Pro" service. I rarely called the support before, but they're really friendly and responsive.

    I purchase the plan a year ago but just started to build the site in the last week. The control panel is very easy to use and modern designed, which helps me get the site online in just a few hours. Bluehost shall be the best hosting company focusing on technology I've never seen elsewhere.

    Good enough program - helps me set up WP site in a few minutes with mobile-edition enabled. I have started my first site since 2007, but rarely seen such a web host did the technical homework so wonderful.

    I have hosted with both Hostgator and BlueHost, and both of them are excellent. Eventually I moved all my sites to BlueHost and cancelled the Hostgator account according to the very expensive renewal rate.

    To sum up, Hostgator is the provider of choice for those who want more flexibility in choosing their pricing and level of technical features (especially websites expecting medium or high traffic in the future), while Bluehost can be recommended for those who want a single headache-free solution with attractive value-for-money offering and a free domain for the taking.
