They have a staff of 750 people working around the clock. BlueHost features 1-Click installations in all their plans.

In this post, I take you behind the scenes and show you features through my personal experience using BlueHost. I will also share a special BlueHost deal  at the bottom of this page (you can get $2.95 pricing instead of the regular $3.95/mo).

By the time you finish reading this review, you will know what to expect from Bluehost and (equally important) what NOT to expect from them.

Beyond question, they have built a solid reputation over the decades, especially where it comes to WordPress hosting.

They are listed as one of the official recommended hosting providers for WordPress blogs and offer an abundance of great tools, bonuses, and resources to WordPress customers.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Discover Beatuty Title” _builder_version=”3.0.76″ text_font=”||||” text_text_color=”#1a1a1a” header_font=”Oswald|on||on|” header_text_align=”right” header_font_size=”60px” header_line_height=”1.3em” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”top” animation_intensity_slide=”10%”]

Bluehost offers five main types of hosting plans:

• Shared hosting
• VPS hosting
• Dedicated hosting
• WordPress hosting
• Cloud Sites

If you are looking for something inexpensive and basic, shared hosting is probably what you need. This is what most beginners and small businesses are shopping for.

Dedicated hosting is the most expensive option, appropriate for large commercial firms that need full control of their resources. With dedicated hosting, you are essentially renting a physical server.

VPS hosting is a middle-ground option where you share a physical server with others, but you have your virtual operating system, so the server functions as if it is physically yours.

WordPress hosting is of course what it sounds like—hosting optimized for WordPress customers. WordPress hosting for BlueHost is called WordPress Pro (click here to read more about it).

Let’s take a look at the plan tiers for each.

Dedicated managed WordPress hosting that doesn’t sucks

These plans are quite expensive compared to their simple WordPress hosting and what some competitors offer (many hosts sell WordPress hosting plans at the same prices as general-purpose shared hosting plans).

The Pro plans are running on high-performance VPS and offer improved site speed. Features at the Build level include Basic Jetpack Site Analytics, Marketing Center, 100 Free Premium Themes, daily backups, and Malware detection and removal for added security.

The Grow plan is a step up with Jetpack Pro. The Business review tools let your visitors leave positive Yelp, Google, Yahoo, or Bing reviews for your business directly from your site. The SEO tools give you real-time optimization tips on how to increase your search engine rankings.

It’s integrated into the Marketing Center where you can see stats on how you are doing in major search engines. The top-level Scale plan gives you Paypal integration and Elastic Search.

The top-level Scale plan gives you Paypal integration and Elastic Search.

It’s worth noting that you get live support with Grow and Scale. It gives you hands-on assistance with design, functionality, or general questions from real WordPress experts 24/7.

All plans come with Positive Wildcard SSL, and 24/7 service and a money-back guarantee back them. These plans also include automatic plug-in updates and regular backups and a staging environment that allows you to build and test your WordPress website before publishing it.

A feature that probably not many use is the unlimited video compression. You can upload your videos without optimizing them for the web. Bluehost takes care of it. I have not used Bluehost for streaming, but support told me they have no restrictions on how many videos can you stream.

These are all excellent features, but still, you may be asking, “Why would I pay this much for WordPress hosting?” Bluehost plays a very active role in the WordPress community and has a core staff of developers. That means that Bluehost can offer first-class customer support and troubleshoot even complex problems which are unique to WP.

I recently published a post about BlueHost WordPress Pro and you may want to check it out here.

Bluehost offers five main types of hosting plans:

• Shared hosting
• VPS hosting
• Dedicated hosting
• WordPress hosting
• Cloud Sites

If you are looking for something inexpensive and basic, shared hosting is probably what you need. This is what most beginners and small businesses are shopping for.

Dedicated hosting is the most expensive option, appropriate for large commercial firms that need full control of their resources. With dedicated hosting, you are essentially renting a physical server.

VPS hosting is a middle-ground option where you share a physical server with others, but you have your virtual operating system, so the server functions as if it is physically yours.

WordPress hosting is of course what it sounds like—hosting optimized for WordPress customers. WordPress hosting for BlueHost is called WordPress Pro (click here to read more about it).

Let’s take a look at the plan tiers for each.

It is easy to set up an online store with Bluehost, which offers many different shopping carts: Zen, Cube, Agora, and OS Commerce. You get SSL security for your transactions, a certificate generated for free, and OpenPGP/GPG Encryption.

Unlimited bandwidth sounds good, but I’m pretty sure they would limit your account according to their fair use policy if your website had consistently outstanding traffic. There is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth. Bluehost has to pay for the bandwidth you are using. This applies to all web hosts. 

The $200 in free marketing credits is also a big help if you are a store owner. You can use these to promote your business through Google, Facebook, Bing, and Twitter.

All of that having been said, Bluehost is not particularly known for eCommerce, and some sites make it easier and faster to set up a shop. But Bluehost is an economical choice, and you will get access to a ton of great features to help you sell online.

Security is an area where Bluehost excels. You get three layers of anti-spam protection in the form of Spam Experts, Spam Hammer, and Apache Spam Assassin. You get protection for your inbox as well; it is easy to set up filters. Your directories are all password-protected.

If you need to block access to your site, you have the option to blacklist IP addresses. Another top-notch feature is secure shell (SSH) access. This allows you to access configuration files individually and securely.

Bluehost also offers single-click integration with CloudFlare, which provides even more excellent security features and speeds up your site! CloudFlare is particularly good for thwarting DDOS attacks.

Here is an area where Bluehost gets mixed reviews. Many customers report positive experiences with fast, helpful, friendly customer service agents. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of clients who say that they were unable to get the help they needed even with numerous phone calls.

Another problem with Bluehost is excessive upselling. This is a company that loves to try to sell you on add-ons and upgrades, and there are a lot of areas where you flat-out need add-ons for full functionality. That is a problem if you are on a tight budget.
