Bluehost is a well known name and they're one of the companies you're sure to meet when looking for a web hosting provider. Some of their sales blurb looks too good to be true but if only most of it's genuine, that's OK because the overall package seems so good. They mention plenty of "Free" and "Unlimited" features so it seems worth taking a closer look.

Subscribe To Comments Reloaded (by Camu) -- such a small feature yet it can be powerful. It leaves a little box for commentators to tick if they wish to follow comments by other commentators. What does that mean and how does it benefit you? By subscribing to comments, it means they want to see what others are saying and return to your website! Encouraging readers to come back is a great thing to have!
 

 

I advise those who are learning how to webmaster their own pages to begin with FrontPage. It is a versatile wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) program. It has the power and functionality you need, and you don't need to know a speck of html. Not a speck. I am a wysiwyg kind of guy. I hold up crosses to html. Crosses and garlic.

I want an auto responder, but don't know how to set one up. An autoresponder is a list building service which people will use to opt in bluehost basic web hosting to receive emails from you. There are lots of providers out there. Aweber is one of the largest out there and again I would recommend using them as they have step by step video's on how to do everything. It is surprisingly easy to get this setup and will probably take around half an hour from start to finish for the first time.

OK, now that you have your domain hosted with a reputable host you are ready to install you blog. If you went with Bluehost you will simply log into your account and click on the WordPress icon and follow the simple directions to install your blog.

 

 

Other attractions they tell you about are the absence of hidden fees, free setup and a full, money back guarantee. This sounds like a good offer but sometimes when they look too good to be true, you can wind up disappointed. Having said that, at the price they ask and a full refund available, you might just try it.

Other than that, they also offer Reseller Web Hosting, something that I've been thinking of getting for a little personal project of mine. The packages are quite good, and above all, it comes from a proven and reliable leader in the web-hosting industry.
