A score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews, so a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product many people like.

Four to five years on Bluehost: service is good, but renewals jump and storage is limited.
Left Bluehost over the renewal bill but had no other issues with them.
They used Bluehost for two and a half years. They found support slow and prices much higher after the first year, but overall the service was alright.
Somewhat satisfied with Bluehost speed, but the $5/month plan is going to $17/month and domains are $20 each.
Faced a high Bluehost renewal but chatting with them got the old price back.
