I need a reliable host. About 6 months ago I got fed up with my old host because of the excessive down-time I was experiencing. So I decided to look around.

I finally settled on Bluehost. Fast forward 6 months later, and I couldn’t be happier. I haven’t had a single entire day of downtime. I remember having minutes of downtime maybe once. It’s been a great experience. I’m very pleased with the additional control I get over the server too. Besides that I have access to PHP, Ruby on Rails, SSH, and lots of stuff that usually doesn’t come standard.

A list of their features (from their site):

  • UNLIMITED Hosting Space (NEW!)
  • UNLIMITED File Transfer (NEW!)
  • web hostingHost UNLIMITED Domains!!!
  • 2,500 POP/Imap Email Accounts
  • SSH (Secure Shell), SSL, FTP, Stats
  • CGI, Ruby (RoR), Perl, PHP, MySQL
  • 2000/2002 Front Page Extensions
  • Free Domain Forever!
  • Free Site Builder (NEW)
  • 24/7 Superb/Responsive Sales/Support

They only have 1 price. It’s not the cheapest plan, but I thought the added value was definitely worth it. Give it a try.
