What’s WordPress?

My experience with WordPress
Personally, I run tons of blogs and websites using them and yes, I’m a big fans of WP. There are so many reasons why WordPress is so popular. The blogging software is easy to use, SEO friendly, and there are wide selections of plugins and designs available online (build by professional developers and fans). Also, in association with Akismet, WordPress provides the best comment-spam control.

On the beggining they seemed to be fine but they started make a problems with time.
They say everything is unlimited but they limited EVERYTHING.
They suspended my web site and actually never expleined WHY?
Only what they did was offering other plans of course more expensive!
They never give me a chance to received all my files back so I lost everything i kept there, all my files.
They in very rude way told me THERE IS NO BACKUP on your file! Overall BLUEHOST is sucks!KEEP AWAY!
