Domain Manager

Bluehost’s Domain Manager has really got you covered when it comes to all things domain. You can purchase domain names (or get a freebie with every new hosting account), transfer domains from other servers effortlessly, and the Business and Pro hosting accounts support unlimited parked domains and subdomains.

 

Backups

Bluehost run daily, weekly and monthly backups of your entire Bluehost account, so there is never any need to worry about losing site information. There is always a recent copy of your site’s information backed up to restore in the unlikely event that anything goes wrong. The Pro backup even enables you to restore specific data and files.

 

Resource Protection

Bluehost’s systems constantly monitor resources on shared hosting servers, and if a website is consuming too much, it will temporarily be isolated so as not to put a drain on the entire system, causing problems for other websites that are not so resource hungry. One of the biggest drawbacks of shared hosting is certain websites draining resources and causing issues with site performance for every site on the servers. Bluehost mitigate this potential problem with the above contingency.

 

Email

You get the luxury of unlimited email accounts when you host with Bluehost. The only package that has an email account limit is Basic, which limits you to 5 email accounts. You can set up email forwarding, add filters and spam protection, with access to unique account controls.

 

Scalability

It doesn’t matter how small your website is or what package you sign up for in the beginning. Bluehost allows you the flexibility and manoeuvrability to upgrade and scale up your site at any time. They have a multitude of hosting options and all at some of the very best prices you will find anywhere.

 

Enhanced cPanel

cPanel has always been popular for keeping an eye on vital website statistics, and at Bluehost they offer the enhanced version. This upgraded model of cPanel is of Bluehost’s own devising, so you won’t find it anywhere else. You get additional tools to the standard version of cPanel and you can control everything in the one convenient place.

Multi-Server Management

If you run a number of different websites and need to set them up on different types of hosting plans (for example, shared and VPS), you can do that with ease on Bluehost from just the one hosting account. No need to create a new account because you have a website that requires different servers.

 

Access Control

This allows you to create unique passwords to allow access to different parts of your hosting account. You can have one master password for the entire account, then break up other segments – such as billing and cPanel access – into different sub accounts with unique passwords.

 

Advanced Capabilities of Bluehost

This enables users to access log files, make changes to php.ini files, cron jobs and customise htaccess files. You also gain access to SSH (Secure Shell).

 

Optional Innovations

Some other advanced optional innovations include the following:

  • Unique IP addresses
  • SSL certificates
  • Spam protection
  • Sitelock
  • Domain privacy
  • Site Backup Pro

 

The Wrap

There you have a brief wrap of the many innovations Bluehost website hosting brings to the table. They really are one of the cheapest and best website hosting companies around, so give them a go the next time you need quality web hosting on a budget.

  1. Hey Darren,

    BlueHost is a very heavily advertised host. They are owned by EIG, which is a company I typically do not support. However, I have tried and tested out BlueHost over the years and do find them to be great.

    Their prices are pretty good compared to other hosts. However, one thing I don’t like is site transfers do cost $149. A lot of other hosts do this for free. However, they may have changed this over the years.

    Is there any host you should avoid?

    • Thanks for leaving your comments. They still do charge $149 for migration services to transfer from another host to their servers, but that’s optional. You can always do it yourself. It’s not really that hard.

      As far as hosts to avoid, I’m not aware of any that I’ve ever dealt with, but the biggest thing for me is knowing a host is going to be around for the long-term. What I wouldn’t want to happen is to host with some new company, only to see them fold and disappear 6 months down the track. I have more faith in hosting companies that have been around for a while.

  2. Yeah, I have used WP Clone and Snapshot to help migrate WordPress sites from host to host over the years.

    Yeah, there a lot of dodgy hosts. Some will start you on a shared server and then require you move to a VPS and dedicated. Also, lots of hosts get you in at a low introductory rate and then raise the price on you.
