Bluehost is a relatively modest host provider. They have nice reviews and also few bad reviews.

Bluehost has been recently losing up in their market share of web hosting and I heard negative feedback.

But it’s glad to learn that John here is having good experience with Bluehost and this is boosting my confidence in recommending Bluehost.Because you see, I myself use Bluehost and for me it is great but it is awkward for my situation when things go wrong outside (negative news).

Thanks.

2000-3000 daily hits is definitely going to be tough for any shared host to handle, I think. While the $90 option of a dedicated host may be more than you need, there are also some highly rated VPS set ups closer to a $15-20 monthly range available from Dreamhost and Hostgator. Bluehost may be able to handle that kind of traffic for a while if its well optimized (think WP-Cache mods) but if there’s a lot of heavy user interaction cacheing won’t be so effective. While BH is a great shared host, you may just be moving past what shared hosting can handle!

When I did manage to serve up 10k pageviews, the ‘offending’ mod was actually my comment system – I should probably clarify that fact now – I don’t want to give off the wrong impression. The more dynamic and interactive the site is, the more its going to need from the host at lower traffic. Forums, therefor, would not handle nearly as many visitors as a static HTML page or even a cached PHP page.

Hi John, thanks for the article. I am a bluehost newbie coming from modhost where my wordpress blog was straining their shared server set up with 2000-3000 impressions per day during the past week heavy with election chatter.

I am concerned about cpu and bandwidth issues and sprung for the dedicated server option that seemed reasonable considering modhost wanted $90 per month. SO your article suggests I need not worry.

Big problem though is getting 1640 posts and 1400 comments transferred. Struggling with that now driving my tech guy nuts. Any suggestions that will minimize downtime would be welcome.?

Hey, its not that hard to find out where your errors are coming from with Bluehost!

You can go to the error logs in the CPanel for general information about errors, or you can get more detail information from the “logs” directory in the root of your account’s files.

These hosts make things so easy these days that even a newbie can figure out what seems like “technical” knowledge

*there was one particular add-on that was clogging up the process requests*

Wow..how do you find out about that? You cannot call yourself a newbie who can track this kind of things!

@Scott:

Personally I think the ‘Free Website Builder’ is now a redundant features that has little or no value to webmaster. I am hosting more than 10 websites (website, not blog!) using WordPress.

A WP site is easy to setup, easy to maintain, and the huge user base had grew WP into an open source web apps with (almost) largest plugin library.

A WordPress site like this one only takes 5 or 10 minutes to set up on Bluehost using SimpleScripts, and that’s assuming you’ve never done it before.

From there, you just need to fill out a web form not too different from a comment box to get your content on to a page. Free themes and templates are available so you can try out different visual styles just by downloading and uploading a new theme .zip file.

Is the free web builder that comes with package easy to use? I am a novice at building sites. I have also been looking at squarespace.
Please comments…

This is good stuff.

Blue host is doing good on their hosting plan. I do not have experiences with bluehost yet but heard it’s good and it is apparently now proven by the webmaster here.

Thanks for the review.
