    Cons
    Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com)
    • Setting up wasn't difficult but I think for some having tutorial videos would have been better than screenshots.
    • Provide more than one free domain on the Plus plan.
    • Offer site migration - not an option I saw when I signed up.

    Usability
    Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com)
    I use Wordpress for my website on Bluehost, so I already know how it works and happy with it. I gave it this rating as I love the fact that If you do plan on creating multiple websites on Bluehost you'll be able to create specific login access for each website sites making it less likely to enter into the wrong website accounts. Which makes it even easier to manage client websites if you plan to create and host websites on behalf of your clients.

    Support Rating
    Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com)
    They are quick, easily reached, and can usually solve problems on the first try. However I noticed I had to go to customer support more often than with other providers, whether that was things breaking more often or if their customer support couldn't fix things on the first try. But in most scenarios, they are fine.

    Scalability
    Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com)
    The website is slow. The speed is not reliable. Sometimes, sites would go down without warning. You would have to get a VPS to get consistent speed. If you have small website as a hobby, then Bluehost will be sufficient. Otherwise, I recommend looking for something more fast. Storage is good, but speed is lacking

    Return on Investment
    Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com)
    • It allowed me to get my website up and running and sell services.
    • It is fairly low cost, so it was easy to recoup my investment.
    • Having to pay for a whole year upfront made it take a little longer to get the return on my investment.
