Generating quality traffic for your website isn't exactly easy, especially if it was recently launched. The Internet has become so saturated that it can sometimes feel impossible to be noticed. Thankfully, a little thing called SoloSEO exists — and because they're partnered with Bluehost, this means that all Bluehost customers receive significant discounts on the service. But firstly, what is SoloSEO?

SoloSEO is a monthly service that brings your website real SEO results, with a heavy emphasis on 'real.' Features include a customizable dashboard for quickly glancing at your website's analytics, detailed reports to track SEO progress, and even step-by-step SEO tools to guide you in the right direction.

One of the many benefits in choosing Bluehost as your web host is the ability to integrate your website with Google Apps for Work — a collection of professional Google products that can help enhance your website and its overall image. Some of these products include the following:

branded email that works seamlessly with your domain name

online file sharing and collaboration with colleagues

video meetings in HD with up to 15 people at a time

and so much more...

Running a secure website is important, especially if that website just happens to power your business. And let's face it, this is most likely the case. So why run the risk?

With security exploits becoming more apparent nowadays, it's imperative that your website receives the proper protection it deserves. Thankfully, Bluehost offers something called SiteLock — a collection of products and services that can help protect your website from hackers, security holes and more.

When it comes time to choose a WordPress theme, it's often a good idea to go the premium route. However, this can also become quite pricey — especially if you end up changing on your mind on which premium theme you prefer. And before you know it, you've already spent well over $100 on several themes that you may never end up using.

Thankfully, there is a solution to this problem that financially makes more sense, and that is Elegant Themes.

All hosting plans on Bluehost come with a free website backup tool called Backup and Restore Basic. As the name suggests, this is a basic backup solution for your website, but a very convenient one at that. Your backups will always include the following:

full cPanel

website files

all MySQL databases

individual MySQL databases

The above is more than enough for most users, but if you would prefer to selectively backup individual files, then you can opt in for Backup and Restore Pro. This upgrade currently sells for just $1.99/month.

When choosing a hosting plan on Bluehost, you're presented with the convenience of installing popular content creation platforms like WordPress, Drupal and more — all through just one click! But how do you do this, exactly? The process is actually very easy and it takes just a minute or two.

Once you purchase your hosting, log into your account to access the cPanel. This is where you can access a variety of products and services. Select the "One-Click Installs" button in the category titled "Mojo Marketplace." Doing so will display a full list of script installations.

On top of all the other features that Bluehost has to offer, all new hosting accounts include a very nice perk -- $200+ in credits for a variety of advertising platforms. This includes Google, Bing, Facebook and others that you will want to take advantage of.

Your website's content is the most important aspect that you should be focusing on, but what's the use if you are not able to generate any sort of traffic? That's where these free credits can have a significant impact.

Bluehost offers three shared hosting plans: Starter, Plus and Business Pro — with pricing starting at $3.95/month and going up to $14.95/month. If there is one plan, however, that I believe is worth focusing on, it's the Plus plan. And I say this for good reason.

Currently selling for $6.95/month, Bluehost's Plus plan offers a variety of useful features:

free domain name with annual purchase

unlimited sub-domains

unlimited bandwidth

unlimited email accounts

and finally...

Running a website can be a lot of work, especially if you're like me and you prefer to do things on your own. However, sometimes you may need an extra hand when you least expect it — and that is where Bluehost's excellent support comes in. It's actually quite extensive, too.

First and foremost, there's the Help Center. This is a one-stop resource that can usually solve the most common problems. From having trouble with your WordPress installation to dealing with unexpected errors relating to hosted email accounts, the Help Center is likely the furthest you'll need to go.
