Bluehost Review - Why Would You Choose For Your Website?
Bluehost is a bit of a mixed bag.
In terms of uptime, no problem. The sites we tested were live over 99.95% of the time, which is ok. Be aware that, unlike other providers, Bluehost doesn’t offer an uptime guarantee.
Speed results were a bit more concerning. With an average of 3.32 seconds to load, this put them far behind many other providers, and behind the 3 seconds recommended by Google.
I’ll note here that they only have one known location for their servers, based near the company headquarters in Utah, US. That could be an issue for some users.
Bluehost support, unfortunately, is also one of the company’s shortcomings. You can contact them via live chat and phone, but I often found myself waiting for 20 minutes or more, and the answers were rushed.
the pros:
If your website deals with heavy files like video, the unlimited storage and unmetered bandwidth could help you save money.
The uptime is not bad, so your website won’t be down all the time.
The prices for the first year are ridiculously low. But they do skyrocket after 12 months.
the cons :
But in spite of these benefits, I would probably recommend looking at other providers. Here is why:
Bluehost support is probably one of the worst I’ve had to deal with.
It can get frustrating trying to avoid accidentally buying extra products from them. A bit like when you buy a plane ticket with a low-cost airline.
If you want to feel safe and secure, you’ll need to purchase an extra backup add-on.
The page loading speed was a bit worrying for me, especially if you want to rank high with search engines.
