Bluehost Server Status

Bluehost server status

ReviewBluehost.com is a website I built with purpose to review Bluehost web hosting services and their latest hosting deals/promotions.

As the website is mainly about Bluehost, it makes perfect sense to host it on Bluehost and provide real feedbacks on everything that comes in the picture.

Why keep looking at the server status?

One thing I like to do with my web hosting is to check its server status from cPanel regularly – it’s my habit to see if everything’s alright with the web host and react asap if anything smells fishy turns in. The habit had haunted me for years since I had my terrible experience with a lousy web hosting company (Network Eleven!).

(Hmmm, I wonder any webmasters out there have the same habit as mine?)

Server status reporting at ReviewBluehost.com

Anyway, with that being said, you can expect me doing the same for this website. And not only checking it, more over, I’ll be publishing the server status of ReviewBluehost.com at this wesbite for the sake of recording and for those of you who’re interested in knowing how’s Bluehost server doing.

Referring to the figure at your right, here’s how my Bluehost server doing today when I’m writing this article.

As you can see, all server functions are doing good with a healthy green light.

The server load level is moderate, CPU memory’s being used heavily with 45.4% used, disk usage on the home folder seems pretty loaded with 90% usage, and the rest of the hard disk remain around 40 – 50%.

That’s all for my report on Bluehost latest server status. I’ll be posting more on the issue whenever I have any updates, not only for my own websites, but as well as other websites that’re hosted on Bluehost.

Stay tuned!


Bluehost MySQL database

Websites hosted at Bluehost are offered with two versions of MySQL database management services – MySQL 4 Servers and MySQL 5 Servers.

As a Bluehost customers, you’re offered with the choice between these two MySQL versions, but never both. For ReviewBluehost.com for example, the MySQL version is MySQL 5.0.45 Version.

To check the MySQL version of your account, all you need to do is login into your hosting control panel page, scroll down and look for the “MySQL version” on the right column.

Refer figure for the MySQL version at my hosting account.

What’s MySQL?

MySQL is an extremely popular “relational database management system (RDBMS)” which has more than 11 million installations according to the officials.

In fact, MySQL has become the #1 database choice for delivering web applications, where the program powers high profile web sites such as Yahoo!, Google, Flickr, YouTube, Wikipedia and millions of websites running on Apache servers.

MySQL is such popular mainly because of the program infrastructure implementation are highly leveraging the popular open source LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python).

The program runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. MySQL is owned and sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now a subsidiary of Sun Microsystems, which holds the copyright to most of the codebase.
