I see that, bluehost forum is the first place to get help for problem that is outside of technical support scope.  This bluehost community is a great place to bring forward any scripting issue, just like problem with blog script, fantastico, shopping cart, ssl, etc etc. I haven’t seen a limit of discussion about bluehost, good or bad comment is posted and get reply there.

This month and the following years, i hope to get myself involved into this forums time to time, not only to check the latest news, but also to help few newbies/members to solve their problems… and to get my problem solved as well

Today at BluehostReview.org, I will write my experience of using bluehost’s cpanel addon domain feature. This review cover, domain registered with godaddy, for price $7.9+, and later redirect it to bluehost. Basically, what you need to do is make changes to domain Name Server property by pointing to bluehost NS. There is no need to transfer domain to bluehost hosting.

Firstly, i login to godaddy simple control panel, and then browse to godaddy domain manager. Go to Name Server field, and change as following:

• Primary name server: ns1.bluehost.com
• Secondary name server: ns2.bluehost.com

Next, login to bluehost cpanel.  At the section “addon domains” you will see “Current Addon Domains ”. Below this section is where the addon new domain begins. Enter the new domain name, assign new folder to this domain at public_html, and assign a new password. Finish by clicking the “Add domain”. With this, new domain will be added to your bluehost plan, and can be view at bluehost cpanel x.

OK, i am very satisfied with bluehost hosting. No problem of any, FTP access is reliable and fast, website is loaded fast, and no downtime detected yet.

First week, I was quiet busy with blogging, enhancing this blog site, and also take part in forums, especially bluehost forum site. From there I met few customer, sharing experiences and provide technical support to each other. Based on my observation, this hosting had the most satisfied customer. Go to bluehost

Today while I drop by bluehost forum, noticed that the SMTP email sending at bluehost server is limited at 50 email per every hour. That is 1200 email sending per day. Compare to godaddy 250 smtp email daily limit.

This daily limit are in place to prevent user involved in email spamming activities, which is totally block by this hourly email limits.

I personally find that, 50 emails per hour is a lots for any SME.

Also known as “Domain Parking”. A parked domain is a domain name that points to your main Web site on your account (ex. if yourdomain.com is your main Web site, you can purchase the yourdomain.net and park it so that if a visitor were to type yourdomain.net they would see the same Web site as if they had typed yourdomain.com).

Another use of domain parking is to be a placeholder of an existing web site. A company might choose to use this method to redirect its website traffic to another web site it owns.

An add-on domain allows you to have another separate Web sites on your account that share the space. You can have a yourdomain1.com and then a yourdomain88.com as an add-on domain. The yourdomain88.com would be a completely separate Web site and visitors would not know that it is part of your yourdomain1.com account.
