Bluehost Reviews after 7 months hosted
Bluehost hosting is now grown to 350,000 domain hosted. At the time i start joining bluehost hosting, it was a 200k domain hosting company and offering up to 6 domain limit per account. After a month joining bluehost, they having a hosting plan upgrade, and my account is upgraded to unlimited domain hosting for free. Currently, i am having 5 websites running from the bluehost account.
The bluehost reviews continues, and its the 7th months now. I been using bluehost hosting with full satisfaction, and i found out that their customer support is easily reachable. Usually i will using live chat to contact them, email support is not instant and require longer queue.
I managed to transfer few of the domain name to bluehost hosting as well, and its very easy. The domain manager is integrated into the cpanel, and this make domain transfer much easier. It cost $10 for the successful domain transfer and once its completed, the domain registration will extend another year from the existing domain expiry date. So, th $10 is for the next year renewal.
For the august 2007, the bluehost uptime is quit good, but not perfect due to some server downtime and this bluehost hosted website is not reachable. For the server speed, its very fast, and the august statistic shows that its 0.35 second in average response time. You can view this report for most details.
Bluehost had upgraded their cpanel this august, and its now with the new cpanel 11. And with better user interface and also fastcgi support with dynamic cache that will boost your website loading speed.
Everyday I receiving 10 email spam on average. Sometime thing get worst and i got more than 100 of them. With nonsense spam advertisement and African wills of 200millions, or won a jackpot. These spams will keep coming. Its time to put an end to it.
Spend a little time, you will found a solution that will save you lots of time, instead of wasted on screening those spam mails. I had found my best spam protection solution, and it’s a free solution. I am talking about boxtrapper email spam protection.
My web hosting plan with bluehost hosting, are come with boxtrapper email protection. And I can activate it for free. It uses a very effective method to block spam from reaching you. You can add people you know into your ‘white list’, and block spammer emails, or email with certain keyword that you want to blog, eg. Pill, jackpot, drugs, etc.
Simple and effective. That’s what I looking for. If the email sender that is not in your white list sent an email to you, he is require to reply to the verification email. And only once he is verified, the email will reach you. Email bots are not capable to fool this system.
Once I was having an email account that received a spam mail every 5 minutes, and its keep coming in like crazy. It’s frustrated, and you can’t do anything if your email account that not have the boxtrapper feature. Think again, you will need email spam protection for your email. And definitely, not all web hosting are offering this. will have more information about email account with bluehost and also boxtrapper features.
A good web hosting must have good email system, and a good email system must have an effective spam protection. That’s what I think.
