Like you, I know what it’s like to go searching for answers. You’ll find links to helpful information & valuable products on this page.

Why I Like bluehost
Bluehost has been around for 15 years with over 2 million domains. I chose them after reading a bunch of comparisons online. Reviews are fine. What I really like is they were quick to offer a solution and correct a problem with my site when an update happened. They’re also super nice. Thanks Michael, Ryan, Greg and Mario for guiding me in the right direction. If you’re looking to start a website or blog consider bluehost.
