We’ve read BlueHost review pages on the web, but most don’t go into much detail as to why BlueHost is such a great website hosting company.
The company was started by a guy who started 50megs.com which was later sold to the company that owns/runs freeservers. Then he started 0catch – another free hosting company that had a lot of features and some cheap upgrades. Free web hosting is a whole different business where you have to keep on top of server resources and problems because hackers and other troublesome customers try to bring the system down. This experience gave the founders of BlueHost the experience to know where those problems are with servers and software so they could create a solid system with low downtime.
BlueHost offers unlimited web space and traffic as well as unlimited domains on your account. The servers run Cpanel as the hosting control panel – which is very easy to use and includes tons of easy to use tools to get a website up and running in no time.

In our opinion – BlueHost – is one of the best web hosting companies out there today! Give them a try! I have personally hosted a site there since early 2004 and have only had minor issues that were easily solved with a quick call to customer support. The response times for trouble tickets are awesome! They also have their own ICANN registrar – FastDomain so it’s cheap to add on more domains to your account. You could actually host hundreds of sites on one account!
