	BlueHost is a serious and a professional web hosting company, which not only has a visually appealing website (Bluehost.com), but also offers attractive features such as, a 300 GB disk storage and a 3000 GB monthly bandwidth, while allowing the customers to host unlimited domains and sub-domains. BlueHost’s hosting packages mainly help businesses and individuals get unmatched quality services at a below average price. With guaranteed uptime, customers acquire access to top-quality equipment. During the year 2005, BlueHost had been rated as the 2nd best web hosting company by cnet and today, it continues to rank in the top 5 best hosting provider.
Company Background: BlueHost was established in 1996, and its owner and president is Matt Heaton, who is one of the early adopters of internet commerce and internet service provision. Heaton also created the very famous domain, called 0catch.com, several years back, and it still is considered among the largest and the most respectable free domain sites on the internet. BlueHost was created keeping in mind the success of this free domain and for the same kind of people. The whole idea behind BlueHost was to offer great technical support for individuals who wanted to have a presence on the internet. Till date, the company has grown many folds since its inception and now not only does it support individual webmasters, but also small to medium companies, while hosting more than 825,000 domains. BlueHost is also a sister company to Hostmonster and Fastdomain. In 2005, the comaony won numerous awards, such as the Best Multiple Domain Hosting, Host of the Year, Best PHP/MySQL Hosting, and many more. The Exclusive Web Hosting Plan: BlueHost does not offer various web hosting plans, but only a single web hosting plan, which is the professional hosting plan, in order to simplify its process and focus on customer support. This professional hosting plan costs $6.95 per month, including an unlimited disk space, file transfer bandwidth, domain hosting, and more than 2500 POP3 or IMAP email accounts, as well as 1000 additional FTP accounts, along with free site building software, and a live 24/7 unparalleled technical support staff. All this results in making this plan the best hosting plan available, yet a serious competitor in this market for sure. Now, BlueHost offers a suitable 30-day money back guarantee as well. Special Features: Other than all the above mentioned features of BlueHost, the company’s packages also include Cpanel control panel, few fine add-ons like a site-builder, a domain manager, and also a few options to manage the customer’s account. It also includes Fantastico Script Support, featuring the latest stable versions of all of the scripts.

PHP 4 or 5, PERL 5, Python, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Javascript/Ajax/DHTML and Audio/Video Streaming are also supported, and free shared SSL certificates are also included in BlueHost packages. Another very strong point about BlueHost web hosting service is that a well-built power back-up is also offered, including a UPS and a Diesel Generator. The company also comprises an efficient and a high quality technical support for its customers, which is available 24/7 via email, phone, or live chat.
