Editor's Review & Recommendation

As a top-tier service provider, I find that BlueHost has relatively competitive pricing. It offers steep sign-on discounts that allow you to reduce your initial investment in hosting and only ups the rate when you need to renew your plan.

Strong performance in terms of both speed and uptime make them a solid choice in a variety of use cases. This is supported by an overall extremely scalable platform that you can grow with. New site owners can start out with very basic shared hosting at a cheaper price and from there, the sky is the limit.

Impressively, BlueHost also offers some very nice extras for all its customers, such as free SSL and domain name. These are given irrespective of plan chosen, so even their most basic plans come with these useful benefits.

For Newbies and Individual Bloggers

Bloggers can feel right at home with BlueHost for several reasons. There is the capacity to scale up, cheap starter plans, WordPress hosting plans and best of all a very comprehensive and useful knowledge base.

Key features which make BlueHost the web hosting choice for bloggers include daily site backup, $100 in free ad credits, spam experts and domain privacy protection. More is available, but mostly as add-ons you need to pay extra for.
