BlueHost Hosting Review
Visit Bluehost

While BlueHost offers hosting for unlimited domains, unlimited disk storage and unlimited bandwidth, like most of the web hosts reviewed on this site, unlike most of them BlueHost has set amounts of certain other features.

For example, instead of unlimited email accounts, BlueHost offers you 2,500 POP3 and 2,500 IMAP email accounts (though it does offer unlimited forwarding email accounts and email autoresponders). It also offers "only" 1,000 additional FTP accounts, 100 MySQL databases, and 100 PostgreSQL databases.

If only the BlueHost price were considerably lower than the competing web hosts offering unlimited amounts of these features (which is all really more than most web businesses need) then it would be a great deal. But with a price fairly comparable to the competition, it isn't really saving you anything by eschewing unnecessary "limitlessness". (Oh well)

Features & Pricing

If money is tight and you have yet to register a domain name, BlueHost will save you a few dollars by registering it for you for free. It's one of only a few hosts reviewed on this site that does this.

If international business is important to you, BlueHost is one of only a handful of the web hosts reviewed on this site to offer international domains.

Control Panel

BlueHost, not surprisingly, uses cPanel, the web hosting industry's most popular control panel. cPanel control panel is your control panel, meaning that you can set it up in whatever way you like to best serve your unique needs. All the functions are neatly laid out in categories - from email to databases to preferences and advanced tools - that you can shift around (and even delete, if you wish) to create an interface that maximizes the ease and efficiency with which you manage all your web administration needs. There is even a handy collection of Preference tools and Advanced Tools to set you up for maximum online success. The Fantastico suite of over 30 free programming scripts (including blogs, surveys, discussion groups, and content management systems) is just part of the tools cPanel provides to help you give your site the maximum usability, interactivity, and overall appeal to your target audience. Even beginning webmasters can make full use of cPanel's features, as it comes equipped with a suite of tutorials and detailed instructions for each function (not to mention that all functions are clearly labeled with big, bright, colorful icons for buttons).
