Came here searching for bluehost throttling issues, the stablehost review sounds really good. Makes it look like stablehost is a good place to host + I was astonished to see that there werent any negative reviews for stablehost on the internet. Bluehost is another story though.

Update : 0 downtime till now

Stablehost does seem to be a very stable host

@John – Very true, one of my friends (F1wolf) was also kicked out from his bluehost server when his visitors increased, and it wasnt pretty. One fine day, his website just went down, no explanations no nothing.

He was given a backup though and fake numbers (from what I remember). He left bluehost for good.

Bluehost has this habit of kicking out big websites, I was a victim. Bluehost reviews all over the internet tell you this, so stay away from the pseudo unlimited hosting and the downtime filled hosting of bluehost.

All the bluehost nonsense appeared to be nonsense to me , unlimited is a marketing gimmick, nothing else, how can they have something unlimited. If tomorrow google gets shared hosting from them would they still give them the server for 6.95 or honour their bluehost coupon ?

Stablehost looks nice, hope you have a good stay with them.

And also, Bluehost does massively oversell, I used to see very high CPU loads redlining most of the times, emails to bluehost met with same response as yours, a lecture on shared hosting.

Nice review, I am also thinking of shifting my websites to Stablehost after reading this review, the customer care of Bluehost really pains me up. I was also thinking of maybe host monster or dreamhost, but negative reviews about the same really ticked me off. My bluehost expires in around 11 months, will check out stable host then.

That is pretty good actually, quite unlike Bluehost who would just ask you to shift to VPS. The only flaw I see with Godaddy is the lack of cpanel, thats a bit of a deal breaker since the familiarity with Cpanel is something I like a lot.

Whatever others say about GoDaddy, they do care about customers. When traffic levels increased, they shifted me – twice – to better servers automatically. A few weeks ago I did a post on my blog saying it’s been slowing down and I plan to shift to VPS. GoDaddy got in touch with me within a week and automatically shifted me to a less populated server.
