This will ensure that your hosting is backed up daily and will monitor any changes and update you with any performance-related changes.<\/span><\/p> Your security features will differ depending on which version you choose from. The most basic plan will provide daily backups and 1GB of storage but depending on the size of your website and the maintenance involved, the more expensive packages may be more suitable which will provide larger storage and more automatic backups.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Bluehost makes it very easy to manage your website, whether that be just a single website or whether it is a shared hosting plan for multiple websites.<\/span><\/p> A lot of website hosting solutions do not make it easy to move a domain name over to a dedicated hosting and website management plan. It can be confusing if you are having to change DNS records, email providers and Google connections.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Bluehost has a simple onboarding process that allows you to complete a form on signup. It takes a few minutes to fill out but will ask you all of the important questions, including the plan you are after and what exactly it is you need to move over to a dedicated hosting server. Once you have managed to go through the onboarding process, you will then be able to connect your website successfully and easily.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Having great customer support and having someone readily available if issues arise with your website is vitally important. You will find a lot of other hosting providers do not provide the same level of customer service that Bluehost do.<\/span><\/p> Bluehost customer support is excellent and if you have an issue, you will find it very easy to connect to a member of their support team. When you submit a support ticket, their live chat will connect you in a matter of minutes and this is very important when it comes to resolving issues quickly and efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Their support is available 24\/7 so if your site was to go down in the middle of the night or during your busiest times, you can be sure that there will be someone on the other side ready to help you with your site issues. Websites can go down for a number of reasons whether that be plugin updates or high volumes of traffic. Bluehost support is great and offers extensive FAQs, videos, live chat and email support to help you resolve your issues as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Bluehost offers excellent server performance and depending on the shared hosting package that you choose to go with, you can be sure that the hosting plans will support your website effectively.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t For $14.95 per month, you get access to Dual Quad Processor Performance Servers and if you are running an eCommerce website that gets a lot of traffic and depends on performance, then this is a great way to ensure that your website performance does not reduce.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Whilst Bluehost is great in terms of its hosting capabilities for websites, there are a couple of downsides to choosing Bluehost.<\/span><\/p> No free site migration –<\/b> If you are looking to migrate a website from your current hosting plan and need support, you will need to pay a fee for Bluehost to help aid you with the migration process.<\/span><\/p> In order to migrate up to five websites and your email accounts, it can cost up to $149 as a one-time fee in order to move everything over for you.<\/span><\/p> No Guaranteed Uptime – <\/b>Other web hosting services may offer a guarantee that tells customers that there will be site uptime 100% of the time.<\/span><\/p> If a site has downtime, it can be a concern as it means that the site may go temporarily down and can lead to a loss in sales and customers. However, whilst this may be a slight concern, their uptime efficiency is 99.99% which means that for a large majority of the time, your site will be running perfectly for customers.<\/span><\/p> The only time downtime will occur is if there are updates that need to be resolved in the server itself or with your website.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Depending on what it is you need for your website in terms of hosting and speed,<\/span> Bluehost offers different pricing plans<\/span><\/a><\/span> based on the size of your website(s) and the demand that it needs to be able to meet.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tWhat is Bluehost?<\/b><\/h2>
