Up to 2500 POP3 or IMAP email accounts are also offered I really wish I knew what the above statement meant...lol...(I guess it is a certain type of email account).
Another thing I like about this company is that they decided to go green and use wind powered energy for their shared and reseller servers. I think that companies like this that use up a lot of energy should take responsibility to be environmentally conscious. Their decision to go green made me lean more towards using their service than other quality web host providers. In final, I can't recommend this company enough - their service is cheap, easy to use, quick, and their support is excellent.
Free domain name registration - This means that IX will register your domain name read more for you, free, for as long as you host with them. EP comes with 1 free domain name, BP with 3, and UP with 5. This is probably our favorite feature of IX's hosting plans, especially on the BP and UP packages. If you plan to host multiple domains then this offer could save you a significant amount on domain registrations.
First set up your web hosting account with the your provider. It will make things easier later. Some providers will not allow you to initially set up an account when the domain is already associated with another provider or account. I underline the world 'initially' as this applies only to a brand new account. This is the case for Bluehost anyways. The workaround for this is to simply get a new domain. Some hosting providers will offer a free domain with new accounts so you can use this opportunity to register a new domain and then use that domain to set up the account. The reason for this is that when you first set up an account they will use the domain name as the account name. Every other domain is considered an 'add-on domain'.
A lot of web hosts boast 99% uptime and what not. And while this is far from the truth and not anything more than a mere marketing gimmick, it is absolutely one hundred percent true in the case of Bluehost.
You can also access your server through cpanel or through FTP. They even throw in free Google AdWords and Yahoo search marketing credits, which is great for online marketers and store owners.
