Is Bluehost a wolf in sheep's clothing or a more like a monster? It sure is. While looking over various hosting companies and comparing them to Bluehost I noticed that the contact address for Bluehost and Host Monster are exactly the same. The both list an address 1215 N. Research Way, Orem, UT 84097.
Now that was a bit suprising to me so I figured I would check with Bluehost's Sales Department and see what they had to say. Here is a snippet from the chat session:
Visitor Name: Jim
Question: Are you and Hostmonster one in the same? You have the same address
RJ: Welcome to support chat, how can I help you?
RJ: yes we are
Jim: Ok, just the pricing and features are different. Are your servers housed in the same facility?
RJ: yes they are
And there it is. The same company, with the servers in the same place. The only difference is the price and features. On first look, Host Monster is cheaper in price than Bluehost, but we will have to look into the hosting packages to see if the difference in price is warranted.
I say bravo to Bluehost for not trying to deny the fact they are the same company. I would expect Host Monster's support and reliability to be on the same level as Blue host.
