Being a very large Joomla hosting with hundreds of thousands of users, it's not unusual for a company like Bluehost to get a few complaints. They have been around since 1996, offer unlimited features and boast that they have the best support on the internet, but many people seem to disagree on how professional it is.
So what can we find out about Bluehost? A number of customers complain that Bluehost is lying to them. Bluehost offer unlimited storage, but complain when users exceed 50,000 files. It also looks like they may have storage limits, even though they say they don't. What's the truth? Are these reviews dead on, or is there more to the picture? We'll try to figure this out.
Firstly, Bluehost does advertise unlimited space. Now people are complaining that Bluehost is telling them that they have too many files or if they exceed the maximum number of megabytes which shouldn't exist, since storage is supposed to be unlimited.
Ok, so what does this mean? Bluehost does indeed advertise unlimited storage on their site, quite heavily in fact. It's all over the site. The exact meaning of unlimited seems up for debate though. From the customer's point of view it seems odd that Bluehost would limit you to 50,000 files when they advertise unlimited storage. From Bluehost's point of view, a normal webiste should never even come close to using 50,000 files. If you're using that many you should be looking at VPS or a dedicated server. A shared server is just that, shared. It's meant for equal use amongst all on the server.
