Bluehost has been one of, if not the best web hosting service providers in terms of quality and price. And now that they have conquered India as well, it won’t be long until Bluehost finally dominates the whole world’s hosting (well, not really I’m just exaggerating a little bit). After being acquired by Endurance International Group (EIG) to bring this web hosting giant to India, they have done nothing but improve the services that Bluehost India offers. Bluehost has been impressing the market with its amazing offers and features. With that said, here are some of what Bluehost India offer their customers from around the world:

Bluehost India also gives you a 1-click installation for all the apps you may want to use (Joomla, Drupal, WordPress, etc…).

They also offer the best control panels the world has to offer (cPanel for Linux, Plesk for Windows). Dedicated Data Centers with outstanding protection so that you’re data won’t be compromised easily. They also boast a Dual Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processors which is state of the art when it comes to the technology of servers.

Also an added feature to some, when you register to Bluehost India, you will also receive hosting privileges in ResellerClub. Which is also a web hosting company owned by EIG.

Availability of Hosting Packages

In HostGator India, you get all the kinds of hosting packages you’re assured about in the global counterpart. The list includes basic shared hosting in both Linux and Windows environment, reseller hosting, VPS Hosting and a dedicated server sector. Regardless the option you choose, your server will be located in Indian subcontinent, thus ensuring an enhanced loading speed and performance for those who access your website or blog from India or some other parts of Asia. In short, as it comes to the case of service availability, HostGator India never disappoints us.

The case is more or less the same in Bluehost India, where you get almost all the required forms of web hosting. You have, for instance, shared hosting and reseller hosting and you can choose either Microsoft Windows or Linux as the Operating System. As we get to the standalone-server sector, you have VPS and dedicated servers to choose from, in addition to the selection of server location and environment options. However, in addition to these, you also have an option for WordPress hosting, which is a form of managed WordPress hosting you get.

It’s a tie!

HostGator India vs Bluehost India: The Pricing Factor

To understand the differences between pricing sectors of HostGator India vs Bluehost India, we shall have a look on the plans of shared hosting in both the providers.

In the pricing sector of HostGator, you can find three different plans to choose from. The first plan, Hatchling, is said to cost you 355INR per month, and lets you host single domain. However, you get the freedom of unlimited amount of resources. The second plan lets you host unlimited domain names with unlimited resource allocation and it can be yours by paying just 455INR. The third package, which gives you unlimited resources and a free SSL and dedicated IP, is going to cost you 655INR per month.

In Linux Shared Hosting section of Bluehost, three different plans can be found, with different amount of resources. The plans are priced at 309INR, 349INR and 499INR respectively and give you single, three and unlimited hosting of domain names. In all the plans, you have the benefits of unlimited disk space and bandwidth, but the difference is all about number of domains that can be hosted. By the way, it needs to be noted that the prices given by Bluehost are applicable only when you purchase hosting for three years. Otherwise, you have to pay more.

So, on a closer look, HostGator India has a better and affordable pricing plan. In other words, it’s the better choice.

Control Panel & Support

While comparing HostGator India vs Bluehost India, you would be definitely concerned about the usability of their control panels and the customer support service.

Just like the case of HostGator global, you are assured about the best-in-class customer support if you go with Indian version of HostGator. The only difference is that you get the same expert support in local language if you prefer it. In addition, as we come to the case of control panel, it has a highly-productive yet easy-to-use cPanel-based panel.

We won’t say the customer support of Bluehost India is bad. However, when compared, it seems that HostGator has an upper hand on that matter. Likewise, if we are to take the case of control panel, Bluehost India control panel is somewhat simplistic, which isn’t preferred by some people.

So, in short, you have room for selection.

The Final Words on HostGator India vs Bluehost India

In light of what is said on these three sections, it is clear that HostGator India is quite better than Bluehost India, not only in terms of customer care and intuitive control panel but also the pricing. At the checkout page, you can get the clear idea about pricing — that HostGator shows the real amount and doesn’t fool you. In short, we do have enough reasons to prefer HostGator India to Bluehost India.

5 Steps on How to Start the WordPress Blog

STEP 1: Go to the official URL of Bluehost India which is www.bluehost.in and as the page loads look for the “Shared Hosting” tab from the top of the page.

STEP 2: Hover over the “Shared Hosting” tab and you should be able to see “WordPress hosting” option from above and click it.

STEP 3: Once the page loads it should show the payment and packages available under the Shared Hosting tab. You can also switch to “US Hosting” from Indian Hosting from this page if you desire but that is not the point of this article.

From here choose the plan that you’d think that will be appropriate for you. If you are a new to Bluehost India and WordPress though then you should probably just choose “Standard” package since you might unlikely be able to take advantage of the perks that the “Business” and “Pro” plans have so you might as well just pick the cheapest and the one that provides the basics of what you need to be able to start a WordPress blog on Bluehost India.

And as you can see from the top of the page there is the switchable “US Hosting” and India Hosting. Between the two US hosting is a bit cheaper just as shown in the image below if you compare it to the IN Hosting.

However cheaper doesn’t always mean better. If you think that the target audience of the blog you will be making will most likely be from India. Then you should just stick with the “IN Hosting” as it should be better than US Hosting when it comes to Indian audience.

STEP 4: A prompt will show just like the image below which asks you for the option of whether you want the WordPress blog on a new Domain or you already have an existing domain to use. Regardless of your choice select which option you deem fit and then press “Continue to checkout” if you have chosen one.

Follow the payment process of whether you choose a new domain name or you used an old one.  After the payment has been done, let us proceed to the next step.

STEP 5: Login your Bluehost account.

After successfully logging into your Bluehost India account, you should be redirected to the dashboard page of Bluehost India just like the image below.

From the image above you will see the “Jump to Domain” text field and you input the domain that you newly registered or the domain that you already have from step 4. Then press the arrow key next to the text field.

A new panel will load and find the “Manage Web Hosting” and it should redirect you to your cPanel account associated to the Bluehost India account you have.

From the cPanel window click on Softaculous and then afterwards it should show the Softaculous installer tab. Click on WordPress.

Summary

It’s a little bit complicated but we think it should be simple enough that at least we now have the gist of how to start a WordPress blog on Bluehost India.

Create Bluehost Databases Manually

Nevertheless, as a professional, who is all-set for facing in his/her path towards success, it is a wise-enough decision to learn, how you can create databases manually. In this article, specially dedicated for Bluehost customers, we will tell you how you can create Bluehost databases manually. As you might know, control panel of Bluehost is based on cPanel; because of this, you can follow the same tutorial while working on other cPanel based control panels, including HostGator and HostMonster. We do hope this tutorial will help you in several situations, such as when you are moving a WordPress blog from one host to other.

Note: Unless situations force you to do, it is not advised to ‘play’ inside database section, especially if you’ve hosted some other WordPress sites or PHP-based applications in the same hosting account. Doing so may cause number of issues that may cause damage to website, even total crashing. Also, before you start this tutorial, as a method of precaution, make sure that you have backed up all your websites.

Step One – Log Into Your Bluehost Account

First, you have to log into your Bluehost account. You can go to this link and provide username (domain name used for account will also do) and password. Click ‘Log In’ and wait until you see your account dashboard.

From dashboard you can see now, you have to click on ‘Go to cPanel button.

Step Two – Go To The Database Section

Now, you can see cPanel-based control panel of Bluehost hosting services. From tab-based menu shown above, you have to click on ‘Databases’ section, whereupon you will be lead to MySQL Databases section of cPanel, in which you can create, manage, edit and delete databases you’ve created or are there by default.

Step Three – Create The Database

Now, in the first part of MySQL Database section itself, you can see a sub-section called ‘Create New Database’. First, you have to provide name for the new database, and it will be like your site name_databasename. Provide the name, and click on ‘Create Database’ button. If you are creating database for WordPress site or blog, you may use names as ‘WP’ or ‘Wordpress’ for easier identification in further situations.

Step Four – Create A New Database User

As you have finished creating a database, you have to create a database user as the next step. However, you cannot do so inside a database. On the contrary, you have to create a MySQL user first and then attach it with the DB. As we said, you can go to ‘MySQL Users’ section in the below part of page, and provide username and password to go on. If you have given username and password (more complex it becomes, more security your site gets, and you may include characters in upper and lower case, special characters etc. ), hit ‘Create User’ to finish user creation process.

Step Five – Add New Database User To The New Database

Now, as we said before, you have to add that specific user into the database you had created earlier. To do so, check for a section named ‘Add User to Database’. From that section, you have to select user from user list and database from its respective list. Once you have selected both, hit ‘Add’ button. Next, you will have to select privileges from its available list. Unless you know deep about these privileges, select all privileges and click on ‘Make Changes’. Yes, you have done it.

So, you have successfully learned how to create Bluehost databases manually and a new database user in your Bluehost account. Now, you can use this database in required situations. For instance, while setting up a WordPress website or blog. If you are not able to use a script for installing WordPress or other CMSs, running on PHP, you can use this tutorial for creating databases and integrating them with account. Do you have any doubts?

Benefits of Using Bluehost India

• Hosting Location & Serving Capabilities

As you know, Bluehost Global has its data centers mainly in US.  This is why the provider is considered one of best web host for attracting US customers. However, when it comes to the case of Bluehost India, they have partnered with their sister company, ResellerClub. Servers of ResellerClub are located in various parts of India.

Nevertheless, as far as customers from India are concerned, there is a new choice to ponder… Bluehost.com vs Bluehost India.  Bluehost now has a dedicated version for Indian users.  They can choose between the Indian version and the global version.  In this post, we will provide a comparison between Bluehost.com vs Bluehost India.  First, we will start with an overview of both.

First Things First – Things to Know

As you may know, Endurance International Group is the firm that owns Bluehost along with several other web-hosting providers in the industry, including the brand names like HostGator, Arvixe, JustHost, iPage and the ResellerClub (Mumbai-based hosting reseller).  So, when you hear that it is the Indian version of Bluehost that you’re accessing, you can be confident your getting a high-quality product and service you would expect from Endurance International Group.

Note: You can switch to Bluehost.com by clicking on the link in the bottom left corner.

Now, we will have a look at the noticeable changes that exist between Bluehost India and Bluehost.com.

Differences that Matter

The first thing you have to consider when you choose Bluehost India instead of Bluehost.com is that you will receive hosting from ResellerClub. This is yet another product from Endurance International Group.  Even though Bluehost has not taken a dedicated effort to set up a data center for establishing Bluehost India, you will be satisfied with the server performance and related stuff of ResellerClub.  So, when you go with Bluehost India, the service should be transparent to the Indian user.  In addition, the Indian users will have a better customer care experience with the native speaking staff at Bluehost India.  However, if you are outside of India, you will probably want to consider the global Bluehost version.

One of the additional advantages of going with Bluehost India is that it comes with support for methods that Indians can use for payment. Therefore, if you do not have an option to pay internationally, you can go with Bluehost India.  That way, you will have the convenience of paying with (INR) currency.  So, this is a benefit to those users in India.

Additionally, both Bluehost India and Bluehost.com users will have the same dashboard (cPanel).  Bluehost US Hosting is known for simple approach it takes when it comes to organizing things in an accessible manner.  They use the same developer, LogicBoxes, so the user experience will be the same regardless of which option you choose.

Summing Up — Which One to Choose

In summary, the good news is that you will get the same quality service expected from Bluehost.  However, if you are an Indian user, you may want to consider the Bluehost India option.  That way you can take advantage of a local, native customer service, and the convenience of the local payment options.  However, you still have the option of using the global Bluehost.com service if that is better suited to your needs.

For those users outside of India, you will probably still want to go with Bluehost.com.  You will still get the great service, products, and customer service you can always expect from Bluehost.  All of this at a great value and price.

Speaking of which, there is not much difference in terms of pricing between Bluehost India and Bluehost.com (also, don’t forget to use Bluehost coupon codes).  Therefore, either option you choose, you will be happy to know you are getting a great product and service at a great price!
