Like any platform, I recommend customising where possible as the freemium or templated features are quite basic, however, they definitely get the job done if you need something published ASAP while finalising a better design/function. > > **Cons**: We haven't found any yet--other than the obvious need to invest in a few better-option templates or premium features if you want a useful and insightful website. > > Good\! Recommended by our website designers and it was a good price, preferred by their team, and easy for us to use in-house once handed over. ----- ### "Tailored for Small Businesses" — 4.0/5 > **Jerrica** | *2 January 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Seamless hosting and transfer setup for a website. The ability to track multiple domains/sites at a time is handy. Works amazing well with Wordpress sites and allows for plugin to get an automatic update. But it is nice to be able to turn off certain plugin update if you need to. The ability to see the logs for different aspects the site is great, like the error or access logs. > > **Cons**: The overall look and feel for the website is basic. It could use some new features like a realtime look at the statues of the sites. It can also run slow for the sties. > > It is great for someone running a just few sites. It is very affordable and you get good basic features for keeping track of the sites. ----- ### "Blue Host raises prices by 60% without notice\!" — 1.0/5 > **Thomas** | *11 January 2025* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: We were a happy customer of Fatcow (now known as Blue Host) for many years. The service was affordable for small businesses that did not have a lot of traffic or require advanced services. The WordPress integration was nice too. > > **Cons**: They recently charged my business 60% more than they did 3 years ago. I requested the Customer Service Representative to show me evidence that they informed me ahead of time they were going to dramatically increase our price and they could not provide any evidence. I also called and emailed Blue Host corporate and received no help. > > After Blue Host raised our price by 60% without advanced notice, I recommend that customers steer clear from Blue Host. I am planning to file a claim with the North Carolina Attorney General's office unless I can get resolution from Blue Host. ----- ### "Glad I Switched Over\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *27 October 2021* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that you can easily create subdomains with Bluehost. With subdomains, I can easily make as many landing pages as I want for online lead generation in my business. > > **Cons**: I wish there were clearer instructions on how to add-on domains to Bluehost and then install WordPress onto those add on domains. I had to go over to YouTube so I can figure it out. It turned out to be easy to get this done, but it would have been nice for it to be clearer inside of Bluehost on how I could've done that myself instead of having to watch different YouTube tutorials to figure this out. > > I've had no issues with Bluehost. Once you find your way around on the platform, Bluehost is very easy to use to host WordPress websites. Bluehost is one of the hosting heavy weights that's been around for years. They are very popular and very reliable. Even WordPress.org recommends them as a hosting company. I now regret that I tried a different hosting platform for my websites first. ----- ### "Bluehost" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 August 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bluehost comes with a vast range of hosting options with a lot of features. It has great uptime and offers unlimited bandwidth. At their mid-range cost for hosting they offer loads of storage capacity. > > **Cons**: Bluehost's speed is not the fast as compared to other providers. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/222523/bluehost?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/222523/bluehost) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
