BlueHost Review Post
by Domain Names on Apr.10, 2009, under Articles, Uncategorized
Update (Dec 2009): Bluehost now charges $4.95 for domain privacy registration. Even though we still host our websites with them, we’re now looking for other cheaper places to get our domain name. Bluehost still charges $10 per domain name per year, but it’s really $14.95 after you add the domain privacy. There are other domain registrars with better deals.
Update (March 2009): A year later and find out why we still love BlueHost and renewed our webhosting plan with them.
We’re with BlueHost and we like it a lot. But it’s not for everyone. Here’s why.
- You can’t register domain names if you don’t have a web hosting plan ($10.00 / yr)
End of story. If you’re looking for a cheap domain to point to your free blogger account or a website on a different webhost, then skip to the next review. If you’re planning on running a self hosted wordpress blog or some other website and are in a market for a webhost, then here’s what we liked about BlueHost:
- Each Domain Name costs $10 per year and includes
- free unlimited domain name forwarding,
- free unlimited email accounts and free unlimited email address forwarding,
- free unlimited subdomains
- free unlimited external domains
- full DNS access,
- free parking, and…
- free privacy. (The free privacy was the reason why we didn’t go with GoDaddy)
