Nothing Blue About This Host

Magical Drawers Required

I am considering changing hosting companies. It’s really hard to find objective reviews. The jerks who run the companies spam the web with bogus “review” sites that appear to be poorly disguised advertisements.

I checked into Bluehost. Sounded pretty good. Then I noted the location: Orem, Utah. I did a little Googling. Guess what? They police the content of the websites they host. Are they Mormons? They won’t say. But they will tell you to remove “vulgar” content from your website.

If I start a forum, I plan to keep it PG. No F word, no S word, no C word. And so on. So I could probably get past the vulgarity thing. But the Mormon church is a hoax, and I have said so on this blog. So I think there is no point in dealing with Bluehost. I would be asking for trouble.

I applaud Bluehost’s efforts to keep the web clean, but I think they’re in the wrong business.
