L337G33K Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi,I'm planning to host my website at bluehost.Is anyone here using bluehost ?Is their service good ? Please gimme some feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wire Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm concerned about the supposedly "unlimited" bandwidth and hosting space they are offering. Obviously these are limited and if you push it, you'll find out what the limit is. If you do go with this company, make sure to register your domain somewhere else! That way, you can easily switch to another webhost if things go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhollyMindless Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 If all you want is php/mysql and some other things and aren't going to do anything to get you thrown off the network, you might consider dreamhost - They're a Hak5 advertiser. A little google work will show that Bluehost (and many other budget hosting companies) have had significant bouts of "stupid". All of the unlimited bandwidth and storage offers have significant limitations on what it can be used for (no mirroring, no personal backups that kind of thing) Most will ban you without refund without warning for it. I've been with dreamhost for a long time. Use this link http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?76032 to give the credit to Hak5. (Honest, it's their referral code). Check out the support forums (if you can) of any hosting company you are interested in. If they're not open, don't sign up. They're hiding something.

Learnaseyego Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Might want to take a look at this address: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/203/RipOff0203925.htm I wouldn't let it scare you too bad, it looks as though its just one bad experience and we might not be getting the hole story, but still worth looking at. Good luck! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeelBug Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Funnily enough I had written a nice post about BlueHost while I was at work last week but then the power went out and I had other things to keep me busy :P. I've been with bluehost for 4+ years now and they've been great. The current set "limit" is 300GB HDD space and 3Tb transfers but if you need more you just go into a support chat and ask it be altered. Takes like 10 mins out of your day. I haven't had one bad experience with their support Heres a snapshot of my CPanel... Disk Space Usage 18108.86/307200 MB Monthly Bandwidth Transfer 19025.79/3072000 MB Email Accounts 10/2500 Subdomains 18/999 Parked Domains 0/999 Addon Domains 14/999 Ftp Accounts 10/1000 SQL Databases 29/50 Mailing Lists 0/100 Really have no aim in swapping hosts in the near future unless I get a dedicated box. Man will that move be fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypesci Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I still recommend Fuzioned.com. Best customer service you'll ever get. http://fuzioned.com/awbs/index.php Although they can be cocky at times and appear, on times, to expect their users to know what they are doing.

L337G33K Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Well..I've decided to go with bluehost.What I've learnt in my hunt for the best (also cheap) webhost is that no one is 100% perfect.Even the so called best webhosts have customers who flame about their service.
