Bluehost is a well known name and they're one of the companies you're sure to meet when looking for a web hosting provider. Some of their sales blurb looks too good to be true but if only most of it's genuine, that's OK because the overall package seems so good. They mention plenty of "Free" and "Unlimited" features so it seems worth taking a closer look.

Up to 2500 POP3 or IMAP email accounts are also offered I really wish I knew what the above statement meant...lol...(I guess it is a certain type of email account).
 

 

All I needed to do was simply to chat with real person operator via the "Live Chat" and asked all sorts of questions I wanted to know. It was that simple.

Your free blog only has a few basic features. For example, WordPress offers a free platform, but you can't install any of the plugins to add extra features like top-commentator plugins, polls, survey, etc.

It can website be foolhardy to hand cPanel control over to an unknown webmaster. It is possible to do great damage from the cPanel screen. The list of problems you can have when you give out uncontrolled access includes; shutting down your websites (through incompetence or malice), shutting down your entire account at Bluehost (through the webmaster breaking the Terms of Service), to having your account hijacked and held hostage.

 

 

You are going to receive just about the same exact feature from both hosts. They both offer the cPanel dashboard, with site builders such as Fantastico and Simple Scripts. Both support Ruby on Rails and PHP5. They offer unlimited bandwidth, unlimited e-mail accounts, unlimited storage, unlimited FTP accounts and much more. You can look through the compatibility documents of each host to make sure they will support your needs prior to buying a package.

So I fixed the problem. My home page is a new page that looks just like the old page but loads quickly and has no error box when I try to edit it. The lesson here is twofold: 1. copy your files regularly and be orderly about that. 2. Don't freak out. Usually there is a fix. Often the fix is fairly easy, as it was here.
