Blue Host Reviews

Bluehost is one of the largest Joomla hosting companies around, with hundreds of thousands of users. This is partly due to the fact that they have been around since 1996. Even though they offer unlimited features and boast come of the best support online, many users are reporting issues. Just how problematic is this company?

So what can we find out about Bluehost? A number of customers complain that Bluehost is lying to them. Bluehost offer unlimited storage, but complain when users exceed 50,000 files. It also looks like they may have storage limits, even though they say they don't. What's the truth? Are these reviews dead on, or is there more to the picture? We'll try to figure this out.

Firstly, Bluehost does advertise unlimited space. Now people are complaining that Bluehost is telling them that they have too many files or if they exceed the maximum number of megabytes which shouldn't exist, since storage is supposed to be unlimited.

Ok, so what does this mean? Bluehost does indeed advertise unlimited storage on their site, quite heavily in fact. It's all over the site. The exact meaning of unlimited seems up for debate though. From the customer's point of view it seems odd that Bluehost would limit you to 50,000 files when they advertise unlimited storage. From Bluehost's point of view, a normal webiste should never even come close to using 50,000 files. If you're using that many you should be looking at VPS or a dedicated server. A shared server is just that, shared. It's meant for equal use amongst all on the server.
