Ever since I purchased my first Macbook Pro about 6 years ago I have been a stalwart Apple supporter. I have always loved Apple products. That is why it is somewhat hard for me to write this blog post. I have purchased every single iPhone that has come out. Every one of my spoiled children...

BetterLinux software was officially released at Hostingcon 2012. What is BetterLinux you ask? Its a new software product that does what its name implies. It makes linux better by allowing a system administrator to be in complete control of the linux system. You no longer have to let out of control cpu or disk I/O...

As I think back over the last 8 years, while I sit in my cubby in my bedroom, a big smile comes to my face. I can’t even begin to mention all the crazy things that have gone on in the Bluehost offices. Bluehost grew from a 4 person company to a 300 person company...

Its been many months since I last wrote on my blog – I apologize for that. Its been a very busy few months, but perhaps I can settle into a routine and write a little more often. I am writing today to finally announce that our new data center is up and going! Its the...

At Bluehost/Hostmonster we have been developing some really neat tools to segregate cpu, disk I/O, and memory. Here is a link to one of my blog posts in the past that describes what we have worked on in detail. Up to now we haven’t really been able to sell this product because it was simply...

Hello again! Its been quite a while since I have written and I thought its about time I got around to updating you on some of the new things we have been working on lately. Some of you may know that in addition to shared hosting I have several other small/big projects that I like...

As many of you know I haven’t been the biggest Microsoft supporter Its been a really bumpy road using Microsoft products over the past 20 years. The consistently buggy software, and the security nightmare that is Windows/Internet Explorer is so flawed that I don’t think its possible to “fix” at this point without a fundamental...

We have worked so much lately on many internals to our hosting platform. Sometimes I worry that our customers think we are standing still when they don’t see a lot of outward/customer facing changes. However, we have been feverishly working on improving the overall stability and speed of our platform. We have nailed down CPU...

Bluehost/Hostmonster/Fastdomain started very small. We never took a dime of investment capital, never had any debt, and were happy to wait the 18 months it took before we got our first paycheck. This may sound quite risky to many of you out there, but for me it wasn’t at all. I could see in my...

Several months back I took my wife and five children on a 7 day Disney cruise (I *HIGHLY* recommend it by the way, and I’m a hard person to please ). Whenever I go on vacation the first thing I take care of is making sure that I have internet access. Thankfully, I was able...

When I was young I was extremely hyperactive. It got so bad at one point that in the 3rd grade I was allowed to just “leave” class whenever I wanted to have my own personal recess. The school did this because my poor teacher was so distraught with my behavior that she literally couldn’t handle...

Below are some interesting stats from our various hosting brands. Total Domains Hosted : 1.9+ million domains Total Paying Hosting Customers: More than 525,000...
