Bluehosts seks funktioner

Den leverer normal serverhastighed

Ifølge vores egen test på dette site leverede Bluehost en normal serverhastighed.

Compared with ultra-fast domestic servers, it does not stand out, but Bluehost's server response time of 420 ms TTFB is not excessively slow. It is fast enough to use comfortably.

Support 24/7

Bluehost tilbyder support 24 timer i døgnet, 365 dage om året.Det er betryggende at vide, at du kan kontakte serverfirmaet, når du har brug for det.

By the way, I used the chat at 11:00 a.m. Japan time. It was 8:00 p.m. in Utah, USA. Even so, a representative answered my question immediately.

AI-webstedsoprettelse

Bluehost kan opbygge et site med AI.Du svarer blot på nogle få spørgsmål, og AI opretter et WordPress-site til dig.

That means you are fine even if you do not have WordPress skills or any experience creating a website.

Stabilitet med 100% oppetid

Bluehost har 100% oppetid. Serveren er ekstremt stabil.Når serveren er stabil, bliver driften af dit website og din e-mail også stabil.

★ A beginner's guide to rental server uptime and SLAs

When a server does not disclose its uptime, it is hard to know how stable it really is, and that can be unsettling. But with Bluehost, you can use it with confidence because the uptime is 100%.

Du kan bruge et CDN gratis

Bluehost tilbyder et CDN gratis. Fordi et CDN er tilgængeligt, kan brugere, der besøger dit website, se det fra den server, der er tættest på dem. Det forkorter indlæsningstiden og gør sitet mere behageligt at se på.

★ What Is a CDN? Improve speed and performance with a network of servers

Many server companies in Japan do not provide a free CDN. Compared with them, Bluehost's free CDN is quite a good deal.

Det er billigt til $2,95 pr. måned

Even though Bluehost is a stable server, you can use it for the low price of $2.95 per month. Let's compare it with other server companies.

Initial administrative fee
12-month server contract
Cost of one year of domain fees
The lowest-priced plan that can run WordPress

Server company	Total cost for one year
Bluehost	5,303 yen
Lolipop!	5,940 yen
ConoHa WING	11,292 yen
Xserver	10,560 yen
mixhost	8,712 yen

I compared it with major server companies in Japan. It costs about the same as Lolipop!, which is famous for being inexpensive. That means it is very cheap.

The drawback of Bluehost is that it does not support Japanese

Because it is an overseas server, this is unavoidable, but Bluehost's lack of Japanese support is a drawback. You have to configure the server and use the knowledge base while making good use of tools such as Google Translate.

If you do not speak English, everything you do will take more time.

Compare Bluehost with two competing servers

I compared Bluehost with competing servers in Japan and overseas.

ConoHa WING

ConoHa WING is a server that focuses on server speed and ease of use. Your WordPress website is completed when you sign up for the server. Because of that, you do not end up in the disappointing situation of thinking, “I signed up for a server, but it was too difficult and I could not get WordPress started.”

However, Bluehost costs less than ConoHa WING. When you think about price, Bluehost is a good option.

Kinsta

Kinsta is described as a top-tier server. WordPress pages display comfortably on it. Google had also introduced Kinsta as one of the best servers.

However, Kinsta's server fees are high. Because Bluehost costs about one-tenth as much, I recommend Bluehost if price matters most to you.

Biggest strength	Outstanding stability	Reputation as a top-tier server

Uptime	100%	99.9%
Storage	10 GB	10 GB
First-year server cost	5,303 yen	31,466 yen
