Why We Like BlueHost

We’ve been using BlueHost for ALL our web hosting and domain registration for several years – since 2006. Our web work began in the mid-1990s. We tried quite a few web hosts and registrars before settling on a solution that really works for us.

Why BlueHost is our Web Hosting Recommendation

Here are 10 reasons why we enthusiastically recommend BlueHost (BH):

Technical Expertise

BlueHost offers outstanding service: You can phone their toll-free number any time of day or night (24/7/365) and get friendly, knowledgeable support, technical or otherwise that quickly resolves any questions or issues you might have: online and phone (888) 401-4678
BlueHost offers outstanding features for webmasters and website owners; they offer an excellent selection of the latest and greatest applications, tools, and services.
BlueHost provides tools such as SimpleScripts, which allows installing dozens of popular tools (such as WordPress) with a single click. They even have great videos that walk you through every step of the way.
BlueHost continually upgrades its servers to use the best possible – fastest, most secure, most reliable technologies to minimize downtime and maximize performance.

Support Expertise

BlueHost has online chat, email, support tickets, and other mechanisms (in addition to 24/7/365 toll-free phone support) to suit anyone’s needs to resolve problems and answer questions quickly and effectively.
BlueHost also has an extensive help system that can answer most questions with online tutorials and a growing library of tutorials and educational videos. Even for beginners, BlueHost has helpful and informative resources that will take you as far as you want to go.
BlueHost is well staffed and growing, so it’s rare to be on hold for more than a minute or two.
BlueHost support staff knows their way around WordPress (and so much more!), so if googling for a technical answer doesn’t work, they can frequently offer insights and provide quick answers to questions that might otherwise take much longer to resolve. Are you starting from the very beginning? No problem, they provide help regardless of your technical expertise or experience.
BlueHost obviously treats their employees well, because, without exception, they are technically savvy AND friendly, courteous, and professional. We’ve phoned BH support more times than we can count. Often our questions have nothing to do with their service but are more ‘going the extra mile’ type questions. They ALWAYS are helpful and exemplify going that extra mile. This video gives more examples of their positive culture:
BlueHost is successful, growing, and likely to last a long time. They also have a generous affiliate program. If you sign up using the links on this page, we get an affiliate commission. We appreciate that! However, as we’ve told countless friends and colleagues, we would recommend BlueHost with 108% enthusiasm even if they didn’t have this great affiliate program.

We routinely recommend BlueHost to clients wanting to start a new website or those who are ready to re-design an existing website or change their web host and/or registrar.
