BlueHost Uptime Guarantee

February 17, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Let’s talk about Bluehost uptime. For me Uptime is very important and Bluehost boasts a 99.99% uptime guarantee on its shared web hosting plan. Based on our use of Bluehost for nearly two years, they certainly deliver. In the rare event that they had a server outage, Bluehost fixed the issue in less than 10 minutes, and it turned out that the issue was something out of BlueHost’s control. For all the features I get from Bluehost at $6.95 per month, I am completely satisfied with the Bluehost (Linux) servers.. As a small business owner, downtime not only pisses me off, it make me lose money. You don’t need to worry about this issue at BlueHost.

Actually  BlueHost web hosting does not have coupon codes but Bluehost does have discount savings if you purchase a 2 year contract as opposed to the 1 year plan. Here’s our review of the discount savings on the Bluehost shared web hosting
You will get discounted price sign up, and here are what you are paying:

Amazingly BlueHost web hosting now host over 400,000 domains. Just several days ago I purchased another domain from BlueHost for just $10 dollars.

BlueHost Email/WebMail Features

November 20, 2007 By Leave a Comment

Ok, Bluehost has some neat webmail/email and boxtrapper features. One amazing thing is that BlueHost shared web hosting ( $6.95 per month), allows clients to have up to 2500 email accounts, with each account (ex:admin@affordable-web-hosting-4u.com) having its own secure individual mailbox. In order to send or grab mail you simply access your BlueHost webmail account through the control panel (cPanel 11) or by logging in through any web browser at YourDomain.com/Webmail/

What I actually like about BlueHost mail is that you can configure your webmail for POP3 or IMAP access through mail clients such as Outlook Express. Not quite sure how how to do this? No problem! Bluehost provides easy to follow movie tutorials that makes it simple for anyone to do this. And it you’re still not sure I know from experience that the BlueHost staff will help gladly help you out.

BlueHost eCommerce-Shopping Carts

November 8, 2007 By 1 Comment

One of the things I like about BlueHost is that online small businesses can easily put eCommerce (shopping carts) on their BlueHost.com sites. There are a number of eCommerce options a BlueHost customer can use. Through the BlueHost control panel (under the partners and promotional heading), Bluehost gives links to several secure ecommerce and shopping cart options like VeriCart, for example. There are also many free shopping cart scripts (like oscommerce) you can download for free off the web. Just do a “google” search for free shopping cart scripts.

BlueHost eCommerce Help

No matter what kind of eCommerce/shopping cart you decide to put on your BlueHost site, BlueHost will able to host it. Are you uncertain how to put shopping carts on your site? I was, and it’s no big deal. The BlueHost staff is kind and knowledgeable, and will help you step by step. Bluehost even provides SSL certificates, which allows secure eCommerce credit card processing which help visitors shop on your site securely and confidently. If you want SSL all you need to do is request it from the BlueHost support staff, who will add it for you.

Cheap Domain Name Registration at BlueHost

October 22, 2007 By Leave a Comment

Are you looking for cheap domain name registration? BlueHost offers cheap domain name registrations to the tune of $10 dollars per domain name. Of course, if you sign up for a BlueHost affordable web hosting account (for as low as $6.95 per month) you get a FREE domain forever.

Cheap Domain Name Registration Tips

Of course you, can find places other than BlueHost that offer cheap domain name registrations less the ten bucks a pop. But may I offer some advice on cheap domain name registrations? Please don’t let price be the only guiding factor on where you to register a domain name. Fact is, although there are many affordable web hosting companies that offer cheap domain name registrations, not all are reliable web hosting services. Here are some things some things to consider when looking for a cheap domain name registration:

  1. Make sure you research the company where you are registering your cheap domain name. Do a “google search” of the company with “cheap domain name registration” as a keyword. If there is anything very negative chances are, it will turn up on the web from some disgruntled client.
  2. Make sure YOU own all rights to the cheap domain name, and not the web hosting company.
  3. Make sure the provider where you are signing up for a cheap domain name registrations allows you top point your domain name and site to another web hosting server if you so choose. This what I liked about a BlueHost domain. BlueHost offers only shared web hosting packages, so when my Christian website outgrew shared web hosting I HAD to switch to a different web hosting company. BlueHost not only allowed me to point my site to a new DNS server (Liquid Web), but helped me do so. Now that’s what I call an honest domain registrar.

Do you offer any advice on how to find cheap domain name registration? Share it here!

BlueHost Ulimited FTP

October 15, 2007 By 3 Comments

bluehost ftp

What I really love about BlueHost is that in the BlueHost version of cPanel, they allow unlimited FTP. What this means is that you can, upload as many files at one time that you wish from your hard drive on your PC to your site on the BlueHost server.

How to Use BlueHost Unlimited FTP

  • FTP is the only way to upload your files to the BlueHost server, so if you are new building websites, you should get acquainted with the process. Using BlueHost unlimited FTP makes it real simple, even fun! :) Here’s what you need to do:
  • Login in to your Bluehost control panel
  • Go down to “files” and click on “unlimited FTP.” A Java applet will open up with and a split screen will appear. On the left will be the files from your PC; on the left will be the files on your server.
  • Browse to the file(s) you want to upload to your site via the BlueHost server. Got them? Good! Now on to the fun part.
  • Using the BlueHost “drag and drop” feature, simply transfer as many files as you wish to the BlueHost server, to the exact folder you need to place it. It’s as simple as that. By the way, you can delete files, folders or rename them through this interface.

Of course if you need help with FTP, I found the BlueHost staff quite helpful in this regard. If you have used BlueHost, please consider adding your opinion or BlueHost review in order to help others considering Bluehost.com.

October 15, 2007 By 3 Comments

Okay, I was using BlueHost for my one of my sites and was messing around with PHP code trying to modify one of my WordPress Plugins? Well I did something real bad and lost my entire site! But thank God the BlueHost cPanel has a backup feature that allowed me to get back my site to exactly the way it was. that’s one great reason to go with BlueHost web hosting.

How to Use the BlueHost Back Up Feature

The BlueHost backup system will fully backup and restore your site including all content, email settings and webmail settings. In order to access this BlueHost “safety net”, enter BlueHost cPanel and click on BackUps.

BlueHost Backup

Once you click on Backups in the Bluehost control panel, you have your choice to backup your site , daily, weekly or monthly. I choose to backup my site daily just in case I experience another crash after doing something stupid. The bottomline here: If you use BlueHost, you really don’t have to worry about losing your site to some mistake.
