It is an American provider, unfortunately, they do not have a system in many languages but that does not take away its benefits to guarantee that it is one of the best quality hostings I have tried. Currently, this accommodation is considered by many to be one of the most effective hosting worldwide.

The quality of its services has made it since 2005 a WordPress recommended hosting provider. Talking about Bluehost is talking about speed, uptime guarantee, security, and quality at the same time.

Thanks to more than 750 employees, they have one of the most expert and trained support and customer service teams ready to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Bluehost operates a customer service system for phone calls, live chat, email inquiries, and they have a number for free calls within the United States.

On their page, they have a robust help center that includes guides, video tutorials, and more. As I mentioned, Bluehost is a WordPress recommended hosting since they take their work very seriously, they have a great team made up of experts dedicated to WordPress to provide the best customer service whenever you need help. They even have the best-certified system engineers working for full-time WordPress CORE development.


Bluehost Hosting features

The first characteristic that must be highlighted about this hosting is its speed, which will allow your clients, or potential clients, to navigate effectively through your website. Also, it is compatible with one of the most used content management systems (CMS) currently in the world, such as WordPress, who has not hesitated to recommend them, which has led them to stand out as WordPress hosting.

The same company has been in charge of promoting itself as the best service in terms of shared hosting, and let me tell you that we subscribe to it, our personal experience has allowed us to confirm that this is certainly the case.

In their promotion, they assure that if you choose a shared hosting plan with them, you will not suffer much of the impediments that commonly shared hosting usually suffer, and our test with them allowed us to verify that they do not lie, that they really have one of the best shared hosting we’ve experimented with.

But although Bluehost stands out for its shared hosting, it also has four (4) other really efficient hosting types such as:

  • Cloud hosting: Hosting that uses different virtual servers to optimize websites and not host on a single physical server.
  • WordPress Hosting: Web hosting service that specializes in the WordPress content management system.
  • Dedicated hosting: Hosting that uses dedicated servers, that is, an exclusive server for your website. The opposite of shared hosting
  • VPN: Create a virtual private network to host your website

To help you with your choice of the best hosting for your website, we have selected for you the greatest strengths and weaknesses of Bluehost hosting. In this way, you can determine whether or not it is one of the best options in hosting.

Bluehost hosting plans are varied for each type of service. It offers different plans with different features and very attractive prices. You should carefully read what each plan consists of to determine which is the ideal hosting plan for your project. Remember that Bluehost offers good shared hosting.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Bluehost Hosting

Advantages of Bluehost

The most outstanding advantages of this hosting are:

  • Competitive prices: As I mentioned before, Bluehost is inexpensive, compared to many other hostings that offer similar benefits but with slightly higher prices.
  • A good amount of space to store: This hosting offers, even in its most basic plan, a fairly generous amount of space. Especially compared to others that limit space to a much lower than the normal amount. But this is not the case, with this service, you have enough storage space with any plan.
  • Unlimited traffic: This means that your website will be able to receive any visits, without any kind of restriction. Some hosts limit traffic monthly, but Bluehost does not.
  • Easy and intuitive platform: The platform used in this hosting is easy to use, even for beginners with little experience. Its cPanel is very well specified and simplifies the actions, you can even install the WordPress CMS with just a click of its auto-installation.

Disadvantages

  • Service only in English: This is a disadvantage, which its creators could easily solve if they want to expand to countries with a predominant language. But for now, its platform, interface, and technical support in general, only handle the English language. So if you do not speak this language at least at an intermediate-high level, it is not recommended to hire Bluehost.
  • Support quality: Due to the large number of clients that Bluehost handles (more than two million), their support and customer service can sometimes be a little late in their responses, and even more if we take into account the previous point, related to language, clients in Latin America could easily congest the communication channels.

Conclusion

My general opinion about Bluehost is that it is one of the most popular hosting worldwide, it is a reliable company that offers you quality hosting service that can satisfy the needs of any more experienced web developer and any demanding blogger, but you have to take into account that you will have to communicate in English in the event that you need any help. It has an intuitive interface and easy to navigate.

I was honestly surprised by the clear intentions of Bluehost in making it easier for new entrepreneurs to scale quickly, their prices are really affordable and they are very well supported by the quality of the services they provide. It has characteristics that are very much in its favor and make it justly deserving of a position in the top of the best hosting.

Their greatest weakness is the language barrier because although English is considered the universal language, there are many entrepreneurs in Latin America who still do not manage a high level of English. So translating your platform to offer both language options will certainly help your customers grow.

However, if you are fluent in both languages, don’t hesitate, hosting your website with this hosting is a great choice. Quality and economy are two words present in Bluehost, despite the language barrier it is a highly recommended hosting for those people who are just starting their online project and do not have much money for the first investment. If they ask me, I would definitely contract with them without thinking twice, because few hosting companies offer such a fast and powerful service at such an affordable price.

For all the features already mentioned, if you are looking to host a single website or build multiple websites, Bluehost is a reliable and quality hosting option that you should take into account.
