Bluehost Review for Ecommerce Sites
If you want to start a business on the Internet, you need a place to put your website so people could browse and make purchases. If you are starting out with a simple website, almost every host out there will be optimal for you. Only if you developed a complicated site, with lots of scripts and databases, is when you will need to double check if the infrastructure will be able to support your needs.
Unlimited Domains, Unlimited Bandwidth
With Bluehost you could host unlimited domains paying only one hosting fee, although you will have a real limit of uploading no more than 50,000 files to your account. I don’t know about you, but 50,000 files is extremely large number of files for me.
You should take the “unlimited bandwidth” selling point with a grain of salt because it is known that Bluehost kick out clients that consume a lot of CPU cycles (scripts and intensive applications do use many CPU cycles) and for this reason, those clients tell to the world that BlueHost is just a scam. The truth is that very small percentage of customers will actually use or reach the limits offered by BlueHost, but in order to stay profitable, BlueHost has to be sure that no client use a desproporcionate share of resources from the server, so they apply those draconian politics. If you get kicked out of Bluehost, you could host your site in any other place if you wish because you are dealing with a reputable company here (in fact, one of the larger companies in the hosting space).
If you plan to have a complicated site, it is recommended that you get your own server to be able to control all your resources by yourself, but take into account that this will be much more expensive not only because of the cost per se, but also because you will have to pay a webmaster to manage your own server.
Conclusion
If your site will not be complicated you could confidently start with Bluehost and see what happens in the future. They host more than 1 million domains and are one of the strongest hosting companies in the world with lots of satisfied customers.
