Bluehost vs WebHostingHub

Permalink
I know this has been asked time and time again but I couldn't find any recent (past 6 months -- things change) discussions. So I'm going to ask again... hosting recommendations? I looked at Arvixe but that didn't seem to get great reviews from the forum. I think I've narrowed my search down between Bluehost and WebHostingHub. The hosted site will be fairly small. Hosting cost is definitely a factor. I'm looking for the best bang for our buck. Looks like Bluehost has been around for quite awhile. I couldn't find much information on WebHostingHub. What is everyone's opinion on the two? Would you recommend one over the other? I'm looking at these solutions because they are recommended on the Concrete5 site. Are there any others you would highly recommend?

All three of these, including Arvixe are solid budget hosts that will do
right by you.
We have lead support contacts at all three, so if there's something hosting
related we can often get someone who knows concrete5 to a degree involved.

You're always going to see complaints about budget hosts. Websites are
complicated beasts and when pricing becomes a race to the bottom there's
going to be folks with unreasonable demands or just plain bad luck. IMHO
the cost difference between these guys is likely in the "tens of dollars"
per year at most, and all of them try very hard to serve our audience well.
You're not going to see ferrari vs. ford here, its kia vs hyundai.

Oh, and of course please do click through on our hosting page as we make
money from that that really helps.

thx,.

I did not know that about clicking through your hosting page. I will be sure to do that once I've reached a decision. Thank you for the information! (Your kia vs hyundai analogy gave me a chuckle.)

Hey my wife drives a Kia with the big engine and all the extras and it
kicks the ass of a BMW with none of the extras and a tiny engine.

Just sayin'. ;)
