You might want to check out the following:

As for me, I've heard no bad remarks about BlueHost. Give them a try and see for yourself I guess.

A little belated perhaps, but I have a site hosted with bluehost, and they have been a bit of a nightmare so far, although in fairness the general feedback about them seems to be ok.
Bluehost IS a great service when it works, however it doesn't seem to have worked for me so far! ... Shortly after I signed up with them (a few weeks ago) the server which was holding my account crashed, resulting in a fragmentation problem and a long period of downtime and broken stats. The stats problem still haven't been fixed over a week after bringing it to their attention, apparently they have "other issues that have taken precidence" (sic). If a company has a good customer service, then surely ALL genuine customer problems should take precedence? ... Then I learn that people cannot send any messages with attachments to my bluehost account without having them returned by the bluehost mailserver, this is vital as I need people to send me music, video and art files for my site. However, funnily enough, when someone attempts to send me a virus there, it gets through! ... Overall, very poor so far, hope it improves!

...Paul zonicweb.net: free music downloads, art and games.

Avoid Bluehost Like the Plague

These guys are the worst. Constant down times, no support (well you can email them, they just never respond), broken or non-working applications like MySQL, PHP, etc.

These guys must have paid for the reviews above because no one in their right mind would ever give more than a 1 out of 10 to Bluehost (and a 1 would be generous).

Bluehost is just terrible.

See my blog for more details on my experiences.
