BLUEHOST REVIEW
Bluehost is a very popular web hosting site as of right now, in my opinion, and starting a web hosting site isn’t easy to create for most people who are starting. Not all web hosting sites aren’t, there are always pros and cons.
In my blog I’ll tell you the pros and cons of Bluehost so that you have a basic understanding of what Bluehost is.

PROS
1.BEST UPTIME- 99.99%- LAST YEAR
Uptime is one of the most important aspects when choosing a web host, and should be one of your top priorities.
After researching different web hosting sites,the benchmark for a “good” uptime is 99.94%. Some people might think these numbers are pretty high,but actually it’s just slightly below average. Type those numbers into a calculator, and you’ll quickly see it translates into at least 26 minutes of downtime each month or just over five hours over the course of a year.
But there is good news, Bluehost surpasses this benchmark, with a average of a 99.99% for uptime. In other words, Bluehost is one of the most reliable web hosting providers in the internet.
2. Low Introductory Pricing
If you were to go check out the starting prices, you’ll notice the lowest advertised price is $3.95/month. That’s a pretty good deal considering they’ve supposedly reduced it already from $7.99/month originally.
For that price, you get pretty much everything you need for a single website. That includes 50 GB SSD storage, unmetered bandwidth, a free SSL certificate, and more.So you’d be getting a pretty good value for the price, plus their consistent uptime and page loading speeds.
3. Easy for beginners
Some of the web hosts we’ve seen are best only for advanced users.
Liquidweb, for example, is great if you know what you’re doing. But they lack a user-friendly interface for non-technical people. So if you’re a beginner, you’d have a tough time getting a site live.
The layout of Bluehost’s control panel (cPanel) makes it easy to use. You just need to point and click in most cases.
It also has features for advanced users, but beginners too can easily install and start-up WordPress.
Or, they can use the Bluehost website builder tools(such as Weebly or Drupal) to start with a template that you can customize by just dragging-and-dropping features.
CONS
1. Higher Renewal Rates (Common in the Web Hosting Industry)
The best way to get the lowest possible price for hosting is to prepay for one, two, or even three years upfront.
On the one hand, the monthly price is low, but on the other hand, prepaying for a longer period of time (between 12–36 months) means that you’re not just committing to a few dollars, but around a hundred dollars.
Another thing to consider is the higher renewal rates after your introductory period expires. In this case, prepaying for a full three years at $3.95 is a good deal because you’re locking in that low rate for as long as possible.
However, at the end of that term, the rates will jump back up to their “Normal” rates. These range from $7.99 – $8.99/month on the most basic shared plan depending on how long you prepay.
2. Site Migrations Are Not Free
Most web hosts we’ve reviewed will move your existing website over to their service for free. They see it as a friendly service that helps make new customers happy, so they’ll wave any fees.
Unfortunately, Bluehost doesn’t do free migrations.
They have a one-time fee of $149.99 that includes the migration of up to five websites, 20 email accounts, and any other database files for these sites.
They claim it’ll be quick and seamless, so you won’t experience any delays or downtime.
However, the fact that you have to pay for it, and pay so much, is a big “Con” to consider.
