BlueHost User Reviews And BlueHost Coupons

I finally found bluehost.com, the price seemed good etc etc. So I decided to sign up with them.

Firstly: A minor complaint but a really stupid system on their part. You can't create a add-on domain until you configure the nameservers for that domain to point to bluehost. This means that if you are transferrring a domain from an old host you can not have everything set up before you actually change the NS. I suspect you could call and bypass this however.

I have found the website to be reliable, and e-mail to be reliable. More reliable then lunarpages (where on a weekly basis I would have to reactive my yahoogroups e-mail address because it would bounce).

The only "problem" I had was interesting. They require every account to be verified. Fine I had called in and verified the account. A couple days later I found I couldn't get my e-mail and trying to log into the account reported that it didn't exist. I called up and it turned out that they saw I signed up from Israe, and used a Canadian address. The fraud department deleted the account (without really paying attention to the fact it has already been verified). They were appologetic and fixed the problem, as well they restored backups so that I didn't loose data (my E-mail is all IMAP and I didn't have a backup (I have learnt my lesson)). The truth is I understand and commend the fraud department for being so diligent, and I don't blame them for flagging the account. My only complaint is they could have and should have gotten in touch with me.

All in all I have been with them for a month (not long), and I am very happy. The price (especially since I am hosting 3 domains) is excellent, and the support is first class. Reliability is a solid 9.5/10. " - Nsumner
