Thanks for your feedback. We know the difference between a web host and domain registrar but sorry we didn’t make the distinction more clear in this post.

Six months ago, we were looking for a new place to host our domain names because Bluehost started to charge for domain privacy. We switched our domains over to 1and1 and just pointed them to Bluehost’s name servers. But since we were going to take the time looking for a new domain provider, we thought we might switch web hosts entirely to see if we could find anything better. (Bluehost CPU throttles and we felt our class blog lagged because of this.)

We still use Bluehost as a web host – in fact, this blog is hosted with them. For a while, we moved our classroom blogs to pSek but we found that they couldn’t handle a class of 30 students logging into our Wordpress MU class blog at the same time, either, so we’re taken the next step from shared hosting into virtual hosting services.

$4.95 per month for a 1-year plan AND
$3.95 per month for a 2 or 3 year plan.

type this into google: bluehost 3.95 per month

DON’T WORRY…. BE HAPPY!!!!

You are mixing apples & oranges so STOP IT!

Yes, Bluehost provides domain names and YES, Bluehost is a hosting provider.

What you like is Bluehost’s unlimited domains, storage, and traffic — and their number of allowed email addresses and sql databases….

GOOD — so you’ve made your decision stick with Bluehost as a “Hosting Provider”.

So you don’t like paying extra for domain privacy and I’m with you… so go with someone else!! I use NameCheap because privacy is included as well as the first year of SSL

You CAN use ANY domain through any REGISTRAR and using the domain manager add it to your Bluehost account.

So take your domains that are registered through Bluehost and and transfer them to another registrar that provides free privacy and then point them back to DNS ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.bluehost.com… add them to your account using your domain manager and you’re up and running.

In the future, please try and know what you are talking about and don’t mix apples and oranges
