    Comments: CPU's always seem to be maxed out and throttling affects the functionality of websites - so if you have a VERY busy website and utilize the heck out of phpBB/Gallery2/etc. then it may not be the greatest host for you. However, dollar for dollar, its been greate for me!

      Comments: This is, overall, the best hosting provider I've ever come across. Six domains, 200 GB of storage (neither of which I'll ever be able to fully utilize), an incredible amount of bandwidth and email addresses... Definitely a lot of bang for the buck (and a free domain to boot). The inclusion of SSH access is a nice touch, especially for people who want to run command line applications (such as Perl). I've only needed to contact support once, and that was for activation of the SSH, and while the support was very quick, I did have a few problems (the site said to send an email, but I was really supposed to file a support ticket). Other than that, I have to say that Bluehost is amazing. The best value I've ever come across in a web host.

        Comments: The bandwidth (mentioned by Cody Logan)has been addressed right now. I have been managing websites for about ten years (mainly for clients) and have tried many. Blue host is without doubt the best. The support is great (despite them having a squillion domains hosted) and the price is good. The also have a great range of free and easily installed PHP programs. EXCELLENT value.

          Comments: I've been using web hosts since my first web site was up on Flash.net in 1997 or so. So far my BlueHost experience has been excellent. Transferring domains was simple and smooth, my sites have never been down, the Fantastico WordPress installs were flawless. What's not to love?

            Comments: A great hosting company with good reliability and tech support. Love the new user control panel and the Fantastico De Luxe plugin that allows for easy application installs. Plus, Gobs of storage space and bandwidth allowance. An excellent value.

              Comments: I rarely review companies but I have been using Bluehost for several years now and I love their service. Their customer support is one of the best in the industry. Their features are always expanding and improving. And their president even regularly updates a blog to let you know what's going on at the company. Their price is extremely competitive and unless something really bad happens in the near future, I will be sticking with Bluehost for a long time to come.

                          Comments: I have used Bluehost for 3 years without any issues. I am not a power user like the people above but now that they have Unlimited domains and upto 50 SQL databases it has become a great value for multi-blogger people.

                            Comments: Huge space and a lot of databases offered, excellent support. The downside is that the server is often overloaded, the website is painfully slow. This is clearly not suitable for a commerce site.
