BlueHost Web Hosting Package

“How can I upgrade my Bluehost features in my old account?” This is a frequent asked question by new Bluehost customers whenever Bluehost offer a new hosting features or hosting plan.

In case you signed up for a BlueHost account days, weeks, or even months ago and realized that Bluehost is offering additional features to new clients, you can always contact Bluehost Helpdesk and have them to upgrade your account with the updated features.

For example, I used to have only 5 addon domains in my quota. My request for upgrades to unlimited addon domain is granted as soon as I shoot an email to Bluehost Helpdesk. This works the same to any other hosting features - disk sapce, bandwidth, web promotion voucher, and so on. Be assure that Bluehost treat their new and old customers the same thus don’t be hesitate to ask for what you deserve with them.

It should be noted, however, that this will require some downtime as they move your files from server to server. Also, if you do not have a real need for these features, it probably isn’t worth the effort. BH does monitor account usage and if they believe that you have a need for the additional features, they will automatically move you (to the server with upgraded features).

There are numbers of consideration points when you’re shopping for a trust worthy web host.

Checking the years of their business, reading real customer’s feedbacks, and studying them via forums or reputable websites help a lot in filtering out some of the scammers. Another useful methods to pick up a good web hosting is to check out multiple contact details on the hosting company - phone number, email, support center, and physical address. A physical address (on Google Map) is especially important as it indicates a larger organization (instead of a work-from-home hosting resellers).

Now, being a larger organization doesn’t mean that they are better. However personally, I feel ’safer’ when I knew that the web host I’m dealing with are willing to reveal themselves publicly. This shows they are serious about their business and I expect better responsibility in handling clients.

So, where does Bluehost located at?
