Bluehost vs GoDaddy — “6 Tests” Based on My Experience

Bluehost vs Godaddy is one of the classic comparisons ever done in Hosting industry.

Bluehost and GoDaddy are two of the biggest hosting providers out there, so big that they’ll come upon almost every major list of the eng yaxshi hosting imkoniyatlari.

Qanday qilib er yuzida tanlash mumkin?

GoDaddy is probably the better-known hosting provider of the two, but does that mean it’s better?

GoDaddy’s hosting pricing is also infamous for being less-than-clear, but is that really true?

Web hosting with GoDaddy seems generous in resources, but are there hidden limitations?

Bluehostning oldingi sahifasida berilgan a starting price of $2.95 a month, and GoDaddy offers a starting price of $5.99 a month, but is the price difference noteworthy?

Choosing the best hosting provider is tough, let alone the best hosting plan…even more so its two industry titans, Bluehost vs. GoDaddy.

Oxir oqibat tanlov siznikidir va tanlash qiyin bo'lishi mumkin bo'lsa-da, biz sizga u erga borishga yordam beramiz.

1. Facebook Poll: Verdict

I have conducted a poll on Facebook asking people to choose between Bluehost vs GoDaddy.

Endi, keling, ko'pchiligingiz qiziqtiradigan keyingi narsaga - narxga murojaat qilaylik.

2. Who has better pricing?

Xo'sh, qanday qilib bu ikki titan o'rtasida narx buziladi?

Barcha yirik xosting-provayderlar singari, hostingning ko'plab turlari mavjud.

Birgalikda veb-xosting odatda eng arzon va eng mashhur hosting turi bo'lib, undan qimmatroq variantlar odatda bulutli hosting, virtual shaxsiy server (VPS) va maxsus server xosting bo'ladi.

For most people Googling around for basic information on all this—beginners and smaller users—shared hosting plans are the most accessible.

They’re available for relatively low prices while offering enough features for solid customer satisfaction.

Qisqa eslatma: ushbu narxlarning ko'pi faqat sizning birinchi xizmat yilingizga tegishli.

If you want a really in-depth look at Bluehost’s pricing, you can check out my analysis here. But otherwise let’s see the overview:

Ikkalasi uchun ham sanab o'tilgan narxlar Bluehost’s and GoDaddy’s shared web hosting packages are discounts for the first year of service, but sezilarli darajada ko'tariladi birinchi yildan keyin.

So for the price of shared web plans on Bluehost versus GoDaddy, Bluehost is generally a few bucks cheaper.

Chopdan oldin: Bluehost’s shared hosting plans start at $2.95 a month for the “basic” plan. For the second tier of shared hosting, “Plus,” you’d pay $4.95 a month, and for “Choice Plus” you pay $5.95 thanks to a current discount.

However, both Plus and Choice Plus have the same renewal price.

Va nihoyat, "Go PRO" darajasi oyiga 13.95 dollardan boshlanadi.

In contrast, GoDaddy’s first tier is called “Economy,” and comes in a bit pricier at $5.99 a month. “Deluxe,” is also a slightly pricier, coming in at $7.99 a month, and “Ultimate” costs $12.99 a month. A fourth tier, called “Maximum,” would cost $19.99 a month.

To be clear: these are the “regular” tiers of shared web hosting. GoDaddy has a separate set of pricing tiers for its “Business Hosting” package: this is essentially a simplified VPS package. GoDaddy also has straightforward VPS options.

Farqli o'laroq, Bluehost just has VPS and shared hosting.

GoDaddy’s Business Hosting 19.99 dollardan "boshlash" darajasi bilan boshlanadi va 59.99 dollarga "kengaytirish" ni davom ettiradi.

While GoDaddy’s “Business” plans have four tiers, Bluehost uchtasi bor (yodda tutingki, bu tekis VPS hosting). Biroq, ular bir xil diapazonga ega: "Standard" $ 18.99, "Ultimate" - $ 59.99.

The thing is, while GoDaddy’s Business Hosting is like a more basic VPS, they also have VPS hosting.

The VPS hosting price GoDaddy lists has a large range: from $4.99 to $69.99 a month for standard RAM, and $9.99 to $99.99 a month for higher RAM plans.

Va nihoyat, bag'ishlangan xosting bor. Bu siz tanlashingiz mumkin bo'lgan eng jiddiy variantlardan biridir, shuning uchun agar siz ushbu narsaga diqqat bilan qarasangiz, sizga katta ehtiyoj bo'ladi.

GoDaddy’s dedicated servers starts at $129.99 and end at $399.99 between four tiers for HDD storage servers, and $139.99 to $419.99 for SSD servers

Bluehost’s dedicated servers start at $79.99 and end at $119.99 between three tiers.

Bluehost and GoDaddy also have WordPress hosting. Bluehost has two types of WordPress hosting:

Fully managed WordPress hosting which is $19.95 to $49.95 per month, and shared web hosting that’s WordPress-friendly at the same price as Bluehost’s regular web hosting.

GoDaddy also has two types of WordPress hosting: managed is $24.99 to $169.99 per month and self-managed is $6.99 to $15.99.

Bu juda ko'p narx, shuning uchun xulosa qilaylik: Bluehost and GoDaddy both have shared web hosting, although GoDaddy just calls it web hosting on its site.

They also both have Virtual Private Server, and dedicated server options.

As you can see, they have overall the same prices. However, GoDaddy tends to have more options–specifically for higher-end plans. And GoDaddy’s range starts higher.

But it’s important to note that upon renewal, the prices even out further. For example:

Bluehost’s dedicated plans renew at a higher cost than the initial term. GoDaddy’s start higher, but have the same price upon renewal. The same is true for their VPS plans.

So for high-end solutions, Bluehost seems cheaper at first vs GoDaddy, but in the long run they’re pretty similar.

The exception: GoDaddy’s “business” hosting plans are about the same as Bluehost’s VPS plans including renewal. And for just shared web hosting, the renewal prices are similar, too.

3. Bluehost vs Godaddy: Who fares better in features?

Agar siz oxirgi qismni o'qisangiz, siz o'zingizga: "bu juda yaxshi, lekin narxlarning kontekstida nima bor?"

As in, what are you getting for the hosting prices GoDaddy and Bluehost taklif?

Siz taxmin qilganingizdek, har bir narx rejasi uchun har bir xususiyatni batafsil yoritadigan maqola cheksiz uzoq (yoki yaqin) bo'ladi.

Shuning uchun, men asosan umumiy xostingni ko'rib chiqaman - bu eng mashhur variantlar, chunki siz eng ko'p ko'rgan narsadir.

Ko'rishingiz mumkin GoDaddy’s full list of features hereva Bluehostto'liq ro'yxati bu erda.

Avval yuqoriga: Bluehost. Agar sizda oyiga $ 2.95 evaziga Basic hisobi bo'lsa, bitta veb-saytga kirish huquqiga egasiz. Bundan farqli o'laroq, Plus, Choice Plus va Prime barcha cheklanmagan saytlarga ega. Bundan tashqari, siz Plus va undan yuqori versiyalar uchun asosiy va o'lchanmagan SSD saqlash uchun 50 Gb SSD xotira olasiz.

O'tkazgichning kengligi aniqlanmagan (yoqimli, ular cheksiz degani yo'q) barcha bosqichlar, but you only get 5 parked domains and 25 subdomains for Basic, as well as only 100MB of storage per email account with a maximum of 5 accounts permitted (all of these are unlimited for the rest of the tiers).

uchun GoDaddy’s Economy package oyiga $ 5.99 da, siz shunga o'xshash bitta veb-saytga ega bo'lasiz, ammo ikki baravar ko'proq saqlash va aniqlanmagan o'tkazish qobiliyati. Deluxe uchun yuqoriga yo'naltirilgan rejalar uchun (eslang Deluxe nisbatan 7.99 AQSh dollar turadi) Bluehost"Plus uchun $ 5.45") siz cheksiz veb-saytlarga va cheksiz saqlashga ega bo'lasiz.

Xuddi shunday Bluehost’s Basic plan, GoDaddy’s Economy plan allows 25 subdomains.

Everything upwards of that has unlimited subdomains. Finally, both GoDaddy and Bluehost sotib olish bilan bepul domen nomini qo'shing.

Ikkalasida ham Bluehost and GoDaddy give you email accounts with your hosting packages, Bluehost faqatgina bitta hisob uchun 100 MB va 5 ta elektron pochta hisob qaydnomalari uchun - jami 500MB hajmdagi saqlash imkoniyatini taqdim etadi.

GoDaddy offers 5GB for Economy, dwarfing Bluehost.

Having said that, GoDaddy’s 5GB continues throughout all tiers, whereas Bluehost allows for unlimited storage if you upgrade, and GoDaddy only gives one free mailbox.

Plus, GoDaddy’s email is only included free for the first year, and after that first year it renews at cost. This is not the case for Bluehost'p.

So while GoDaddy’s included email is much more competitive for the first term and the entry level plan, Bluehost’s email is more cost-effective long term and for any higher tiers.

Here’s something else to consider: Bluehost sizga undan bepul SSL sertifikatini taqdim etadi Asosiy reja yuqoriga qarab.

GoDaddy offers an SSL certificate only for its Ultimate and Maximum plans.

SSL sertifikati sizning tashrif buyuruvchilaringiz - sizning mijozlaringiz haqiqatan ham saytingizda o'zlarini xavfsiz his qilishlariga ishonch hosil qiladi.

Agar biror narsa sotish on your site, you’d better get an SSL certificate somehow…it’s crucial.

If you aren’t processing transactions or sensitive information, an SSL certificate may be less essential. BUT, if your site lacks SSL, visitors’ browsers may warn them of poor security and search engines will deprioritize your site.

So it’s less essential, but still pretty dang important. By now, just about every hosting company offers SSL for free with their plans. It’s standard fare for any current web host.

va Bluehost uni olishni juda osonlashtiradi Oyiga 2.95 dollar to'plam.

GoDaddy gives it free for the first year only, and only for the higher two tiers. After a year it renews at about $79.99.

Lastly, there is a more notable difference in features when it comes to WordPress hosting. As I’ve said early, both our competitors offer managed and self-managed shared WordPress plans.

Both of them have well-featured managed WordPress.

But for the shared web hosting WordPress plans, GoDaddy offers more features, including free WordPress plugins that are valuable.

Boshqa tarafdan, Bluehost’s WordPress plans are cheaper, and Bluehost has the honor of being recommended by WordPress itself.

It’s one of only three hosts recommended by WordPress, including Dreamhost.

But, keep reading because there’s quite a bit more under consideration!

4. Bluehost vs Godaddy: Whose customer support is best?

Qattiq mijozlarni qo'llab-quvvatlash har qanday hosting provayderi uchun juda muhimdir, lekin ayniqsa bu ikkalasi uchun.

Ular juda katta ekanligi sababli, ular boshqa platformalarga qaraganda mijozlarning ancha katta bazasini qo'llab-quvvatlash yukini qondirishlari kerak. Xo'sh, ular qanday qilib to'planishadi?

Like most hosts, there are quite a few resources at the disposal of the customer.

Birinchidan, joyida hujjatlar va o'quv resurslari mavjud.

Secondly, there are representatives designated for helping customers with specific issues or adding a human touch.

Birinchisi, odatda, bilimlar bazasi, tez-tez beriladigan savollar, qanday amalga oshiriladigan videolar va boshqalardan iborat. Ikkinchisi odatda telefon, elektron pochta va jonli suhbatni qo'llab-quvvatlashdan iborat.

Bluehost mijozlarga yordamni juda aniq qiladi.

Har bir sahifaning pastki qismida asosiy sayt resurslari bilan ozgina menyu mavjud: qo'llab-quvvatlash chat, chipta, ma'lumot bazasi va tizim holati sahifalariga tezkor havolalar bilan o'z bo'limiga ega.

Chiptalar / chiptalar tizimi asosan elektron pochta orqali qo'llab-quvvatlanadi: juda sodda va etarlicha ishonchli ko'rinadi.

Ularning telefon orqali qo'llab-quvvatlash chizig'i siz turgan sahifaga qarab darhol aniq emas, ammo ularda bitta mavjud. Ushbu sahifada turli toifadagi savollar uchun turli xil telefon raqamlari keltirilgan.

Va nihoyat, ularning "Ma'lumotlar markazi" deb ataydigan ma'lumotlar bazasi bemalol va keng qamrovli.

Men topdim Bluehostjonli chat umumiy javob berish uchun. Eslatma: pastki chap burchakdagi vaqtlar chatdagi so'nggi xabarlardan bir necha soniya uzoqlikda joylashgan.

Vakil suhbatni boshlaganimdan bir necha soniya ichida "qo'shildi".

Asl javob nusxa ko'chirilganligiga ishonchim komil. Savolimni qayta takrorlaganimda, bir necha daqiqada javob oldim.

Umuman aytganda, 2-3 daqiqa kutish vaqti yomon bo'ladi - va bu juda yoqimli, chunki men suhbatga akkauntsiz kirganman, lekin oddiy veb-sayt tashrif buyuruvchisi sifatida.

GoDaddy has more or less the same set of resources as Bluehost.

Uy sahifasining yuqori qismida telefon orqali qo'llab-quvvatlash uchun juda qulay raqam mavjud va ularning yordam sahifasini (shuningdek, ularning bilim bazasi deb ham atash mumkin) topish oson.

Aytishim mumkin bo'lgan narsa, GoDaddy’s help center bilan teng Bluehostning; Siz haqiqatan ham ikkinchisidan birini afzal ko'rishingizning yagona sababi bu shaxsiy ta'mga bo'lgan xohishingiz.

GoDaddy’s live chat function has improved but is still not very reliable. You can easily chat with a rep from a chat box on every page.

First you’ll interact with a chatbot:

And then you’ll be directed to a representative. But frequently, all the reps will be busy and you’ll have a very long wait time (by live chat standards):

This isn’t the first time GoDaddy’s live chat has been unreachable, or at least very slow.

Xo'sh, men o'z shaxsiy saytimdagi akkauntimdan foydalanib sinab ko'rish uchun tizimga kirdim va shunga o'xshash natijani topdim.

Keep in mind that GoDaddy has certain hours for live chat use (yes, they have 24/7 phone support but not 24/7 chat support—go figure), but that this was within those hours.

Perhaps there’s something up with my browser…but I doubt it because this has never been an issue before, and I talk to people on live chat often.

Umid qilamanki, bu munozarali emas, shuning uchun men bersam Bluehost more credit for its chat support.

Overall, both sites have decent customer support. But if I’m going to be quite honest, GoDaddy’s support feels less solid and more of a basic, bare-minimum approach.

5. Bluehost vs Godaddy: Which is easy to use?

Foydalanish uchun qulaylik, ayniqsa eng katta xosting-provayderlar uchun juda muhimdir: ular juda katta, chunki ular juda ko'p odamlarga murojaat qilmoqdalar.

Bir tarzda, bu turdagi javob sizga allaqachon javob beradi: ikkalasi ham xizmatlardan foydalanish oson. Ochig'ini aytadigan bo'lsam, boshqa hech narsa aytolmayman.

When a web host is easy to use and has a great user experience, there just isn’t much to say—ease of use is something you’ll only really comment on if something is going wrong.

There are the basics to worry about: the actual hosting process, then taking care of domain names, as well as building the website itself, and so on and so on.

Shu bilan birga, Bluehost and GoDaddy both make this as easy as it can be; at the very least, it hasn’t gotten much easier at any other platform.

GoDaddy cPanel:

BlueHost cPanel:

Shuni unutmangki, ikkala platformada ham o'quv qo'llanmalari, FAQ va o'z bilim bazalarida qanday qo'llanmalar mavjud.

Ushbu materiallarning aksariyatiga hisob qaydnomasisiz kirish mumkin, shuning uchun agar siz xizmatlardan foydalanishda qulaylik faktorini his qilmoqchi bo'lsangiz, yordam markazlariga murojaat qilishingiz mumkin.

Lastly, when it’s Bluehost vs GoDaddy on WordPress ease of use, there isn’t a huge difference. Both companies’ WordPress plans make things a lot easier.

Ammo, Bluehost is in general a simpler interface to work with, and has good support dedicated to WordPress, and for that reason may be slightly preferable for easily running WordPress.

6. Bluehost vs Godaddy: Who is more secure?

Now, let’s talk about security. This is one of the most important things to look for in a hosting company: can they protect your presence online?

The good news is that any major hosting company, like Bluehost or GoDaddy, is usually sufficiently well-established to the point you’re overall safe.

However, we can never be too careful, and solid website protection is essential. With that being said, let’s dive in!

zaxira are a pretty important feature for hosting services. If God forbid, anything happens and your site goes down, you do not want to lose any work or important changes.

Bluehost only includes automated backups for its two highest tiers. You can pay for add-ons to do this at the lower tier, however.

It’s basically the same for GoDaddy: for real, automated site backups, you need to pay a bit extra for an add-on.

Bluehost server ishlamay qolishi haqida xabar beradigan kirish sahifasiga ham ega. Agar siz shaffoflik haqida qayg'ursangiz, bu juda yaxshi (kerak).

Shuningdek, ular umumiy serverlarda saytlarni himoya qiladigan vositani eslatib o'tadilar (aks holda ular VPS yoki ajratilgan serverlardan xavfliroq bo'lishi mumkin).

Sizga qo'shadigan ixtiyoriy qo'shimchalar mavjud xavfsizlik, as I mentioned, such as: SiteLock, domen maxfiylik vositalari va noyob IP-lar.

Men ularning saytidagi xavfsizlikka oid boshqa tafsilotlarni qidirmoqchi bo'lganimda, topa olmadim. Bu bilan bir xil emas Bluehost xavfsizlik protokoli yaxshi emasligi, ammo rasmiy ma'lumotlarning yo'qligi umidsizlikka uchraydi.

GoDaddy, on the other hand, has an accessible page just about site security.

Unfortunately, it’s more of an informative/instructive guide for customers, rather than solid documentation of their own safety.

7. Bluehost vs GoDaddy: Who performs better?

Uptime juda muhimdir, chunki siz veb-saytingiz iloji boricha yangilanishini xohlaysiz.

From August 2018 to August 2019, GoDaddy had pretty solid uptime. Almost every month had 99.99% uptime or perfect uptime. The lowest was 99.97%.

In the last year, GoDaddy’s performance has been consistent with that, roughly. One day in October 2019 saw some downtime that brought down the yearly average, but the overall score is solid for a year:

And on a monthly basis, it’s closer to 99.97% uptime:

In terms of speed, GoDaddy is pretty good. Since August 2018, GoDaddy’s response times have been in the 400-500ms range.

So speed with GoDaddy isn’t just good, but CONSISTENTLY good.

Qolaversa Bluehost, we’ve been testing them since spring 2017. Things were rougher in 2017 but from 2018 to 2019, roughly speaking, uptime for a given month would usually be at least 99.98%, and often perfect.

However, some months would see less-than-ideal scores, meaning below 99.95%.That’s old news though–in terms of recent history, here’s how Bluehost has done for the last year:

It’s really good. Over the course of a year, 99.98% uptime (99.99% if you round up) is nearly perfect.

And any given month during the last year has been about the same–the last three months, for example, are also at 99.98%.

The speeds are poorer than GoDaddy. Since early 2019, our Bluehost test site’s response times have consistently been higher than our GoDaddy’s site.

However, it’s not exactly slow, more like average. And the big picture is that while GoDaddy had better uptime a while ago, the last year has seen Bluehost EASILY beat GoDaddy on uptime.

One feature related to performance: CloudSites.

CloudSites asosan serveringiz ishdan chiqqan taqdirda bulutda saqlangan saytingiz nusxasini ko'rsatadi.

If the hardware fails, the cloud comes in to save you—something GoDaddy doesn’t offer, and something that isn’t represented by these uptime scores.

It includes a CDN (content delivery network) so that your site will always reach visitors quickly. Cloud Sites isn’t free, but an optional add-on that can boost performance.

Qanday bo'lmasin, bizning sinov saytlarimizning ishlash vaqtini kuzatishni davom ettirishingiz mumkin GoDaddy here va Bluehost Bu yerga.

So what’s the big answer on performance for GoDaddy vs Bluehost?

Bluehost vs Godaddy: Qaysi biri yaxshiroq?

Xo'sh, hukm nima?

Quyidagilarni eslatish: Bluehost mavjud slightly cheaper plans than GoDaddy, but the differences tend to even out or switch for more expensive or premium options.

As far as features go, they’re about the same. However, GoDaddy overall offers more features for uning eng arzon rejasi, yoki bir xil xususiyatlardan ko'proq (masalan, saqlash joyi).

That said, these features are generally not included free after a year, whereas Bluehost’s included features are.

Of particular note are SSL certificates, and CloudSites, which Bluehost offers competitively (GoDaddy does not even offer the latter).

While both companies have many WordPress plans, GoDaddy is a bit more generous on features…at least for the first year. Bluehost still seems overall better for WordPress, though.

Ikkala kompaniyaning bilim bazalari taxminan teng qamrovli. Ammo, Bluehost has noticeably better support in the form of superior live chat.

har ikkala Bluehost and GoDaddy are about equally easy to use; it’s really just a matter of personal preference at this point.

As far as security goes and reliability go, GoDaddy and Bluehost are about even.

Bluehost overall wins very clearly on ish vaqti, despite having a worse record prior to the last year.

Umuman, I would recommend GoDaddy for those who are newer to hosting and want more things in one platform.

That’s because GoDaddy emphasizes its ability to do it all–provide domains, website building, SSL, etc. It will naturally come with extra cost to make use of GoDaddy’s add-ons, but it can make things much easier for beginners.

Boshqa tarafdan, tavsiya qilaman Bluehost to people who just need simple, good-quality hosting.

It may have less on the features front but has better value out of the box, costs less overall, has better support, AND has better uptime.

Bu aralash sumka!

Oxir oqibat, sizning xosting ehtiyojlaringiz haqida o'ylang.

Agar sizga nima kerakligini va Internetda nima qilishni xohlayotganingizni bilsangiz, yaxshi bo'lasiz.

Bluehost vs GoDaddy: FAQ
