watchBlue host from my experience cannot host Joomla website. Their tech support don’t know how to put a Joomla website online although their sales people tell you that they have scripts which can be used to host Joomla website. So beware they will lie to you that they can host a Joomla website but they are lying to you. l spent 6 hours of my time trying to host a Joomla web site with them and all they tried to do was to lie to me and and try and wanting to eventually take my paid subscription, but l was too smart for that l caught up with them right away before 3 days was over to lose my paid subscription.
just signed up with Bluehost, but after the payment was taken and my account was created, the account was canceled.
The reason given was incorrect contact info. I called their support line, and was told that I would have to snailmail my ID and also give them my password in order to activate my account – i.e. there was no problem with the contact information with my account.
I don’t see any reason why I should have to give my password to them to activate my account, so I canceled it.
Stay away from Bluehost.
BlueHost customer service is consistant, promp, courteous and satisfied my questions every time. The control panel is easy to navigate from first use. BluHost delivers! I’m glad we went with BlueHost.
I help a friend manage her BlueHost account and interact with BlueHost on her behalf. Their support is about as knowledgable as a tween with interweb access. I am not a “web professional” nor a site designer. I play in a bigger technology pool.
They have crippled cPanel features
They have injected ANNOYING and unprofessional upselling modules in cPanel
bluehost subdomain cPanel app is BORKED:
sub.sub.domain to /path/path2 mapping is VERY BORKED
BlueHost has no resolution for path conflicts of
funny.domain1.com
and
funny.domain2.com
this is NOT a bug with cPanel as support rabidly insists.
BlueHost has crippled user control of SpamAssassin
BlueHost has ZERO support for free distrubuted spam addons for SpamAssassin
BlueHost is only interested in upselling MX anti-spam products.
BlueHost exim user config files are not correctly configured
Running OSS gallery.sourceforge.net on BlueHost is VEXATIOUS at best
OSS Gallery on BlueHost is last-millennium slow — even with small family galleries.
BlueHost seems to OVERSELL shared servers.
BlueHost response is laggy even to Internet2 wired machines. uh oh.
BlueHost is unfamiliar with mod_security
BlueHost is cheap AND inexpensive… but a waste of your time and money. I will be urging my friend to start the painful migration to another host.. perhaps DreamHost.. but I would prefer another cPanel based webhost — though one that is not crippled like BlueHost. So that puts HostGator out of the picture, too.
BlueHost is definately more capable, competant, and responsive than GodAddY, but then almost anything is (cite: nodaddy.com)
We have used this hosting for some time.
But sometimes the server will be down. and we need to wait for along time to get it ready.
