A Look At Bluehost

Bluehost is probably one of the oldest hosting companies on the internet today (they have been around since 1996!). Being one of the longest running companies means that they are very reliable, which is very important when you are looking for a new home for your web site, blog or message board.

The first thing you will notice is that Bluehost run all their servers on Linux and not Windows. Many consider Linux to be a better hosting option as the server tends to be more secure and runs more stable.

Price Plan

Unlike other companies Bluehost do not have a number of different-sized hosting plans. Every hosting plan has the same features and items in it: CPanel, unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth, host unlimited domain and so much more.

The only difference is how you much you wish to pay, the more you pay up front the cheaper it will be each month. For example if you pay for three months then it works out to $9.95 per month, but it will be cheaper if you stay for longer periods.

Features

A hosting account with Bluehost comes with almost everything that you could possibly need to run your web site, blog or message board. From MySQL databases, cgi-bin, Shell Access, sub domains and so many more feature. Just look at the list:.

 

 

There is also the Fantastico feature which has a whole host of scripts that can be installed for you with just a couple of clicks of your mouse button, from blogs to message boards to your own Wikipedia type site.

Reliability

Running a website, blog or message board you must be able to pick a hosting provider that you can count on to provide to you a quality and reliable service. It is not good having a hosting who goes down on a regular basis and thankfully Bluehost are a company that are very reliable, otherwise they would not have the reputation they have nor would they still be around some 12 years on.
