BlueHost: Common Customer Complaints

When it comes to shared web hosting, very few companies have quite the reputation (especially within the business world) that BlueHost enjoys. The company has been around literally as long as we can remember, and during that time period, they’ve offered cheap, high-quality web hosting to just about everyone under the sun. They also appear to have quite the focus on business and market-ready applications and hardware, making them the picture perfect host for the businessman in need of some serious bang for their buck. However, does BlueHost really hold up under our user-submitted review microscope? We’ve seen lots of other shared hosting providers falter a bit, or even outright stumble, in our previous articles, and we’re quite excited now to crack open the host and take a second look. So all in all, if you’ve not yet decided on your next shared hosting provider, and want a third (or fourth, fifth, sixth, etc.) opinion on BlueHost, jump on down below the break to feel the reward of sweet satisfaction.

FatCow: Common Customer Complaints

When it comes to cheap web hosting, we tend to see a lot of the same names floating around. Typically, these are the larger companies that have been in the game since nearly the beginning, and have plowed through the awards regularly enough to garner a boatload of attention. However, that doesn’t mean these services are all bad: In fact, many of them are quite good. Then again, quite a lot of them are rotten to the core. It’s a maddening world to be sure, and if you’re feeling lost, we’re here to help. FatCow is one of the largest names in the industry, and as such, we imagine you’ve at least considered it in passing a few times during your search for the perfect web host.
