Quick Guide To Bluehost Shared Hosting

Bluehost is a shared hosting company. This simply means multiple web sites share the same server, thus reducing the cost for everyone.

As of 2012, BlueHost has over 2M domain names hosted on their servers. Sharing a server with other those millions customers may seem like a lot That  but it usually works out extremely well because most sites don't generate enough traffic or use enough resources for it to become a problem.

Why It Works Like Clock Work
All those domains are not hosted on one server but spread out over a number of servers. Something like 100 domains in one server. 

Bluehost offers substantially more disk space, data transfer, and email accounts than most people or businesses need. If every site used their quota, shared hosting would not work. But since few do, it actually works out quite nicely.

Bluehost shared hosting is perfect for personal blogs and small businesses websites. If a small business requires a static website that gives them a web presence and ability to just get contacts from customers then shared hosting is okay. If a small business needs to a website to do e-commerce they may need to pay for their own dedicated servers.
