Why I Use Bluehost to host my Blog

Posted on 12 January 2009 by Bikash

When I started by own blog, I did not know which host to use for hosting my blog. I checked a lot of hosting service providers before settling for Bluehost.

One of the main reasons why I settled for Bluehost was because it offered one click blogging platform installation including WordPress and Blogger. As a novice this was the best solution for me because I am not that good in coding. So I did not know how to install and activate it, how to tweak the features to suit me and my needs.  There are some other benefits and features of Bluehost-

Bluehost comes with Cpanel. You can install the latest version of WordPress in a click using Fantastico which is present in the Cpanel. When you need to upgrade to the next version of WordPress, it’s very simple. You do not have to download the new version and then upload to your hosting account. You can upgrade to the new version of WordPress in a click.

I am listing all the features here for people who want the technical specifications

Blue Host Offers-:

Free Domain Name
Site Promotion Package
Free eCommerce/Cart
Free Blog, Forum, Board
Top Notch 24/7 Support

Bluehost  provides the following -

I paid them the fee and bought a domain. Then I clicked on the WordPress installation and it installed WordPress in one click. All my worries solved in one click. That’s good I thought.

When I upgrade to a new version of WordPress even today, I simply click on the new version and Bluehost updates to new version of WordPress. It saves my time.

Plugins

You would know a few plugins in our blogs- Work Home Money and Take A Plunge

WordPress has a long list of plugins and so I do not need to download, tweak and add any coding anywhere in my pages. It’s difficult to find the appropriate place in the WordPress themes because they are not like a normal website. Now I simply upload the plug in using “Fantastico” option of Bluehost and within minutes new features are added to our blogs. THAT”S GREAT.

While trying to change some of the codes in this blog, I lost some of them and the browser started showing “Page not found” message. I contacted Bluehost and through chat option let one of their technical member know about it. Within minutes he restored the site to normal. I specially liked it because in many so called good web hosting service providers do not offer very good support to their customers.

I hope the way Bluehost helped me to start my blogging, it will also help all the new and experienced bloggers in future. In case you need any help, let me know. Other than Bluehost I used Hostgator and GoDaddy. If you know about other good hosting service providers, let me know.
