    Anyone here been having problems with Bluehost lately?

    My always seems to be down when I check in the morning. My package expires in January and I am seriously tempted to get my hosting with somebody else.

    So annoying because when it's down I am losing $$$.

    To see if the problem is isolated to you, you can go to www.alertra.com and enter your domain name. It will check your site from geographically diverse locations around the world.

    If making money is important for you, which I imagine it is, you should look beyond budget hosts like BlueHost. You'll have to pay more but at least you'll know your website is available.

    Thanks for your help.

    My sites are back up now which is a good thing. I know, I should really look into some proper hosting. The thing is I am being tight and don't want to pay until my contract with Bluehost runs out lol.

    Think I might start looking into some new hosting now.

    Thanks again :)

    I used to be hosted with Bluehost and although at first everything was fine, my site started running into CPU Resource Exceeded issues, even though I know for a fact that the site is not really CPU-consuming. I switched to another host and never had any problems since then.
