This analysis is in response to our previous post, Bluehost Sucks, where a visitor of our site proposed that we include the search engine result pages (SERPs) analysis for the keywords “X-Hosting Sucks” and “X-Hosting Rocks“. This way we can see if the reviews on the internet favors or go against a web hosting company. This time we looked at Bluehost Web Hosting. We looked for Bluehost reviews by searching Google search engine result pages (SERPs) for the keyword “Bluehost sucks” and “Bluehost rocks”. The result for this hosting is rather interesting.

hostingsthatsuck.com SERPs analysis on 7 Dec 2008

Analysis	Total SERPs	“Rocks”	“Sucks”	“Suckage” Ratio
Bluehost	1,800,000+	1600	2000	55%
Godaddy	2,400,000+	350+	6,100	95%
Verio	1,000,000+	25+	440	95%
HostGator	2,000,000+	400	1800	81%

Note that the more “suck” result pages as compared to the “rock” pages is normal because more unsatisfied customers tend to make more noise than the satisfied ones. We are guilty too.

Is Bluehost Any Good?

The search for the keywords “Bluehost sucks” on Google returned about 2000 results. The search for “Bluehost rocks” returned more than 1600 results or praises (at least for today).
