There have been occasional technical problems but they are always resolved very quickly. From my own experience I can honestly say that there reasonably few downtimes. I’ve been a BlueHost customer for 4 years and have never had any major issues with the company. The overall experience with BlueHost has been highly above average.

BlueHost will always respond very quickly to any problems you may encounter. The stuff is very friendly and knows what to do.

The only issue you may have (this goes for any webhosting company) is that this so-called "Unlimited" has some limits. In case of webspace and domains, you can’t have more than 50,000 files on the server. I might point that even if you exceed that number, BlueHost will not act immediately, if at all. They may actually let you get away with as many as 300,000 files as long as they don’t cause any problems in their system.
