Bluehost – the best host out there?
After reading some reviews on internet, I found out that bluehost was quite good. Without a second thought, I asked my uncle for a credit card and registered for an account. The cPanel they provide is quite good – nicely organised into categories.
They offered:
UNLIMITED Hosting Space
UNLIMITED File Transfer
UNLIMITED Domains hosting
2,500 POP/Imap Email Accounts
SSH (Secure Shell), SSL, FTP, Stats
CGI, Ruby (RoR), Perl, PHP, MySQL
2000/2002 Front Page Extensions
One Free Domain Forever!
Free Site Builder
Not to mention, their excellent customer service and support.
All this was for 6.99$ per month. It was too cheap for what they had to offer. Its been 14 months since I purchased their hosting and I never had major problems. There was problem for about 10 days when their server went up and down all the time. I asked the support and they said that their was an upgrade being performed on my box. Since, then there hasn’t been any problem. Their 99% uptime guarantee stands out to be true.
If you wanna buy a shared hosting, this host is highly recommended. After all 0.9 million customers cannot be wrong!
This is an honest review from a satisfied customer, that is me.

P.S: So far, I’ve learnt PHP, MySQL, Javascript, CSS, HTML (ofcourse) and I’ve been doing web development for various clients now. No more a newbie to web. xD
Looks like a sponsored/affiliated review to me. Please be more neutral.
Nope. Not at all. All my sites have been hosted on bluehost and this is my own review. Of course, I would love to monetize my referrals but not at the cost of being partial.
At least, I am not referring useless, rubbish stuff!
You will know what I am speaking about once you use their service.
I am thinking of getting it myself. For a price of 3.99$ PM if subscribed for 2/3 years, its promising.
Bluehost that is. And its a long time established company.

I would suggest you to use a free host for a while and understand how all this stuff works. You’d benefit more, this way.
I was a fool to have bought hosting at a time when I was completely new to web development.
Point noted. That is probably what I was thinking of.
But then, all I need to do is get a hosting plan, link my domain to it, install wordpress, and start blogging. I can do that much I guess.
I dont think I should delay blogging at any cost. And in the meantime I can share my web designing learning experiences via my blog too.
Of course, I’ll be messing around with free hosts to learn all that, but that wont be more than 2-3 months.
Yep. Start it as soon as possible. I will be one of your subscribers.
