Bluehost is owned by EIG- Endurance International Group, founded in 2003. The web host is well known for its Shared hosting plans. The plans are affordable, and the service provided goes beyond the low price.
They also provide country-specific sites, offering specific targeted services. Based on the many threads I have frequented over the years, Bluehost has been one of the most mentioned and popular web hosts in the industry.

Conclusion
At Digimark we have been using Bluehost for the past five years and found the web host company to provide excellent shared hosting services for the price of the monthly plan that we are on (Choice Plus).
I would have to say that customer support is the best we have dealt with so far in comparison with Name Hero and Host Gator. The other two web hosts provide spotty support at best.
Load times with Bluehost can be a little slower than others, but for the number of visitors we have to our sites, that issue does not really affect the SEO or user experience.
I hope that this Bluehost Review for 2020 has helped you understand the platform and get a better idea of the web host as a whole. I would definitely recommend Bluehost.
