As part of a broader plan of exiting Amazon, I’m looking to get my WordPress site off the ec2 instance where it’s currently sitting. Anybody have anything—yay or nay—to say about BlueHost?

@petebrown I have moved some of the non-profits I’ve worked with over there. It seems fine, no crisises. I think a lot of them are the same, so it probably comes down to who’s marketing you like best. 😀

@walter Thanks! That’s kinda my sense as well. I deal mainly with WPEngine at work. They’re great, but more money and horsepower than I need for my personal site. I mostly just want to make sure they’re not jerks.

@petebrown They are fine. I have been with them since 2006 and I do not like them as much now as I did back then when they were still an independent company run by their founder. I think they are probably more expensive than other options (although I have not done any pricing lately)—but I'm paying 50% more now than I was then, without any corresponding increase in services. But no real problems that have pushed me across the “find a new host now” threshold.
