BlueHost throttles you when you reach certain thresholds, so that other users can share server resources. I found this as a single user without any visitors, just by editing pages. Look in your /tmp directory for the logs showing your cpu usage and throttling events, or go to the control panel > Logs > CPU Throttling.

Regrettably, there is no way to create any kind of capacity plan with BlueHost.

Bluehost is down. Can’t even login to control panel.
Gateway Time-out

The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application.

Apache/2.2.16 (Fedora) Server at login.bluehost.com Port 443

Suddenly my Drupal based website is running very slow since last 2-3 days. I re-install Drupal with a fewer modules and repair database table. There was no improvement in speed. I contacted to bluehost.com for support. They check my site and tell me a link for “Essential steps to speed up a Drupal web site.” I’ve followed all possible instruction for speed up my Drupal website. But my site is still running very slow. I am planning to contact bluehost again for support. I hope this time bluehost.com can help me to solve this problem.

I have been with BlueHost for a while, but the past few months has been a nightmare. My sites are extremely slow and sometimes times , and then they have this now. Need to find another hosting company for WordPress fast

I’m hosting several sites on BH, all running slow. Always thought they were like that, but I guess I’ll contact them.

I am also facing the same experience in mid April 2007. I have never been frustrated with Bluehost before. So, I post my problem at the BH HelpDesk asking why is my website running very-very slow.

The day after, my problem SOLVED! My site running smooth as before. BH earn back my trust. Long live BH.
