One of the best possible associations when it comes to hosting websites is Bluehost Joomla. I say this because I’ve tried it and the installation process was way easier than I’d have ever imagined. I wanted Joomla although I’m a WordPress fan because I felt like trying something new. Besides, my intention is to develop a real estate portal where agencies would subscribe, so I thought it would be easier to manage a membership site in Joomla. It has a lot of helpful extensions that can ease the process of turning the site into a big community where users would interact and contribute. Speaking of WordPress, a friend of mine told me that I could have achieved the same with BBpress and Buddypress, but I didn’t want that solution because of a few reasons I’m not going to bore you with now.

So, sticking to the Joomla idea, I wanted to host that site with my usual provider. I had a very ugly surprise when he informed me that Joomla is on his blacklist because it’s a resource hog. Moreover, he asked me to give up WordPress as well and use static sites. I don’t want to use static sites, so I moved everything I had. This time I’ve chosen Bluehost and I am already impressed by my sites loading very fast and by those one or two click installs made possible by a software called Fantastico. It’s really fantastic this Fantastico and I’m so happy Bluehost offers it for free.
