First of first, history of BlueHost?

The main page of BlueHost at the moment.

Before I start, do you know that we have listed Bluehost already in our Best WordPress Hosting Segment? Without checking out on the history and going right to the core of this review of the BlueHost, it is the total wrong.

Totally wrong.

So, we need some historical check actually checked for BlueHost.

Start then.

What is BlueHost?

BlueHost is of course, the web hosting providing company that is in business since long. And, is among the world’s top 10 best web hosting companies.

When it came into the world?

That when it emerged into the world.

Well, it was Matt Heaton who went on to produce the web hosting company named BlueHost in year 2003.

Who is the real owner of BlueHost?

Until 2010 Matt Heaton was the founder and then he sold the company to “EIG” Endurance International Group and was promoted as CEO where he stepped down from the office in year 2011.

Size of the BlueHost?

Well… Sizer matters, no? 🙂 But here we are to know the size of BlueHost.

By the way, BlueHost has a big wide facility for its in-house servers which is having the area of 50,000 square feet covered in Provo, Utah, U.S.A and employs around 700 folks to operate its all of the business.

And servicing over 2 million of the websites! That is huge, isn’t it?

Winning the awards!

BlueHost is in the business since 2003, and is among top 10 web hosting providing companies. So, how can it skip from not getting the awards?

And here comes one from PCMag…

PCMag awards BlueHost as the winner of Business Choice Award 2018 under the category of “Web Hosting.”

Worth the winning for BlueHost, right?

Not just this but BlueHost does hold so many awesome awards and winning spots.

The business execution

We now need to know the exact details about the BlueHost’s business.

Why?
Because that is the core of the thing we want to know out of this beautiful BlueHost review. 🙂

So, can we start now?

Yes?

Then alright. Let’s do it.

Price

Always out of the review, the price is the one and the best place to cover.

But before going deep down within the pricing structure, we first got to know how the BlueHost is classifying this part using all of the plans and the packages.

So please, allow me to name the packages here.

Well, these are the credit cards name and nothing else. 🙂

If you have any one of them, you are so ready to buy the BlueHost service(s).

Pay with PayPal

This option and the payment method is the most-popular around the globe.

And many people just turn off the thought or the sense of buying off of the site when they see no PayPal option.

No PayPal is NO SELL in most cases.

So, thank goodness BlueHost has it!

Money-back guarantee

The money-back guarantee of BlueHost is definitely here, and they have the limitations and restrictions too.

You can easily ask for the refund within the 30-days time period from the time of subscribing.

But… This money-back guarantee is definitely NOT for all of the products and the add-ons and it only applies on the web hosting AND NOT on domains, and etc.

Read the whole of the guarantee: 30-Day Hosting Money-back Guarantee

Data centers locations

We need data.

And we need centers. Oh actually to locate where are the data centers that are powering our websites hosted and managed by the BlueHost.

And for our future websites that we are going to get and hosted by the BlueHost after reading this detailed BlueHost review, nope? 🙂

So the one biggest in the size data center is located right into Provo, Utah, U.S.A.!

CPU throttling OR CPU protection, check it!

It is a system introduced by the BlueHost to protect the server’s CPU and especially for the shared servers.

What happens in the situation that an user, if causing an issue with the server and is slowing down the server’s performance, BlueHost takes the action to suspend that user’s account until the things ge back to normal.
