Web Hosting Reviews

Bluehost is another of my favorite web host. Bluehost offers unlimited website hosting, plenty of mySQL databases and plenty of free goodies. Their customer support have been quite good.

However I find their server little slow in comparison to 1 and 1. This is matter of relative performance. The biggest problem with Bluehost is that their server goes dead or too slow at the stroke of midnight UK time which I suppose is due to their regular daily maintenance. Another annoying problem with bluehost is their limitation on CPU. If you have got a poorly written script which occupies a lot of CPU then chances are your account will be temporarily suspended.

Overall I would say bluehost is good for hosting static websites and also custom php/mySQL scripts/dynamic website. For Wordpress/Drupal or any free CMS bluehost is not an ideal web host. In fact I’m not satisfied with any of webhosts except 1 and 1 for open source based dynamic website hosting.

I normally use Bluehost for hosting static website and also any development work. I wouldn’t recommend Bluehost for hosting live and speed sensitive dynamic websites.
