In reply to Robin M..

People are always quick to lambaste Bluehost and EIG (which I personally think has more to do with it being a large corporation buying up hosting companies than anything else

Not necessarily. A few years ago I used to be a happy reseller for a hosting company that got aquired by EIG. As from the moment of acquisition, things took a turn for the worse. And not in the slightest way; A lot of downtime, no responsive support anymore etc. I remember reading a lot of similar experiences from others that went through the same frustration as me. So it’s not just that EIG is a big company, I think.

There is a lot of pain amongst ex clients. Maybe EIG cleaned up their act by now, I don’t know. When I see a hosting provider that is owned by EIG, I avoid it because of my experience with them, not because it’s a big company.
