[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]WordPress is admittedly one of the preeminent tools for website building that everyone can choose without having any apprehensions. With the open-source facility, it offers thousands of high-end website building tools and themes at your disposal. However, you can\u2019t complete your WordPress website building with reliable and trustworthy web hosting.<\/p>\n

Bluehost is one of the leading WordPress web hosting service providers<\/strong> <\/a>that profess to offer comprehensive and high-end WordPress web hosting for businesses of all sorts. However, these claims don\u2019t sound impressive to us as we have found out various loopholes in its operations. With hefty price tags, it\u2019s not something that everyone can pick randomly.<\/p>\n

Here are the reasons we don\u2019t prescribe you using Bluehost hosting for WordPress.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”There is no automatic & free data security\/back-up ” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]If you are building a website, you would like to have a secure and comprehensive backup facility to safeguard every single detail. With Bluehost, you are not getting an automatic backup facility. Backup is one of the most indispensable facilities that every service provider should over to ensure end-user data safety. Here, you need to do set-up your own backup process using the cPanel. Also, the back-up will be done at your local device.<\/p>\n

Then there is data overwritten to increase your agony. Any data backup within the last 30 days will be overwritten automatically. In that case, you may lose some of the crucial data and no one but you will be held responsible for this. If you want streamlined and automated backup facility then you need to avail Site Backup Pro paid add-on in your plan. As it\u2019s a premium feature, no ever one can afford it with a hefty price tag. That simply means if you are a start-up or small business having limited investments to back you, you have to put your data at risk while using the Bluehost.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Strict and not user-friendly storage rules ” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Their \u2018unlimited\u2019 storage claims come with a limitation. If, as a user, you save anything over 1,000 database tables or 3GB total database then your account will be auto suspended\/deleted. No one wants this. So, either you avail its high-end packages to keep an eye on your storage limit to avoid losing all data.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Slow operation” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]When compared to other leading WordPress hosting options, Bluehost is a turtle. The slow speed is one of the key reasons why we don\u2019t recommend you Bluehost. With claimed 1,400ms average page load time, it\u2019s performance is very slow then this. Around three-quarters, internet users browsing on a WordPress website build with Bluehost will bounce from a page within 20 seconds which is very annoying.<\/p>\n

As per the recent study was done by Kissmetrics, 47% of customers believe that website having 2 seconds load time is what they prefer and consider as best. With such poor (20 seconds) load time, your website will fail big time to fetch the desired results and will hamper your business.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Pocket-heavy site migration and renewal ” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]If you already own a website and want migration, be ready to pay a $150 transfer fee. Also, you are likely to migrate only 5 sites and 20 email accounts in total after paying such a high amount as well. This way we can easily conclude that Bluehost is not at all site migration friendly.<\/p>\n

Alongside, if you are looking for pocket-friendly plan renewal or upgrades then also you\u2019ll be disappointed as their high-end packages are 90% higher than of the base plan which is a complete rip-off.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”No hosting for Windows ” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]It\u2019s a good option only if you are doing Linux-based WordPress hosting. They don\u2019t offer a Windows-based hosting facility. So, if you are big-time Windows users then you will be highly disappointed with Bluehost.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Poor customer support” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Though they have a live chat and phone line customer support, you\u2019ll have to wait for ages to get through. The response time is very poor and limited.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Bluehost is not at all the best pick if:” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
