Blue Host has been providing hosting solutions to thousands of business and personal web sites since 1996. Their internet hosting package helps businesses and individuals get high-powered service at low cost.

Business Hosting

Blue Hosts professional hosting plan includes 1500GB of disk space, 15000GB bandwidth, 2500 POP/IMAP email accounts and 50 MySQL databases. The plan also includes website building software, image gallery, blog, live chat, and wiki applications.

Editor's Note: Blue Host has recently increased their web space and bandwidth allocation, making choosing a plan much easier. Although very few businesses will ever come close to the limit, it's nice to see the space is available.
