I have 4 accounts with Bluehost. They provide low-cost and high-value hosting that will likely be perfect for anyone who does not require VPS or a dedicated server. Bluehost provides one plan that is in a shared server environment. In the 2 years that I have used their hosting I have had a few times the site was down or functioning incorrectly. Tech support is always friendly and helpful. Sometimes I have had to wait for 10 minutes to talk with tech support but often less than 2 minutes. Again, tech support is always friendly - I haven't had anyone who has treated me as if I don't know anything. Emails have always been returned within 1 day. Server settings are sometimes changed without customers being notified, causing web applications to "break," but Bluehost has always been prompt in helping get the site running again. Overall I feel that I get much more than the $7.95/mo that I pay for hosting.

This site is a great deal. Good uptime and the ability to host multiple sites with one account. They were at 3 when I signed up, but now you can host 6 websites on one account! That a deal that I haven't seen elsewhere, making this an excellent choice for freelancers or people who support several clients.
The reason for the low technical score is they do not offer a feature on which I highly depend. They do not support external database access. That means that you MUST use phpMyAdmin or the pgSQL equivalent to access your databases. You cannot access them from a desktop application or directly from development boxes.
I contacted tech support about options for getting access. They were responsive but not very helpful. The only option they give is they'll 'whitelist' your IP for the entire shared server. If you don't have a static IP then you have to contact them again everytime your IP changes. Please! That's no substitute for being able to specify IP's yourself when you need to wait 24hrs to keep working everytime your IP changes.

I have been with a lot of web hosting providers and have to say that Bluehost are one of the Best.
With their multi-domain hosting package I host all of my sites at quite a reasonable price.
Definitely recommended!
