My Experience with Bluehost.com

I have been using Bluehost.com services since past two years.

I have two accounts hosted by them.

And I am quite satisfied with their services, espacially with their excellent 24/7/365 customer support. Thats why I chose to get another account without instead using "addon domain" feature in my control panel. I am hosting 7 Websites in my first account and only one in the another one, because its our company website. I recently planned to launch a free video and picture site like youtube.com and disappointed to know that they dont suppot ffmepg libraries to convert the uploaded videos on the server. Since than I am looking for a reputable hosting company thats would allow me to have a video sharing website.

Pros:
- Updating packages with new features.
- Excellent Customer Support

Cons:
- They dont support FFMPeg with LAME, libogg and libvorbis support & FFMPeg-PHP (to get video information through PHP).
- Mencoder-Mplayer (for converting uploaded videos to the Flash Video format).
- FLVtool2 (to inject meta-data to the converted videos).

I hope to see these features in my package in upcomming months.

Or I might qitch to somewhere else.

Over all. Bluehost ! you are the best, so far.
