Hi, First a word about Google Apps. Google has closed 'Google Pages', but at the same time opened an improved version of it called 'Google Sites' (http://sites.google.com), but we cannot still consider this as a Web Hosting platform. It is a very basic. It only provides an easy platform to put together few HTML files with lot of ease in configuration. BlueHost offers a 30 day money back guarantee and prorated refunds after 30 days, no cancellation fees. We can cancel anytime for any reason if we are not satisfied. With any hosting company, we always have the option of moving to another host in case we are not satisfied. That flexibility is always there. But I am not sure whether all hosting companies give prorated refunds or not.
Actually, if our website requires 24x7 availabilty and highly critical, I would have recommended other WebHosting companies with Tier 4 Data Centers or with dedicated servers (one server dedicated for one website) - but for our requirement, I felt BlueHost will be a good choice per my experience and it is just a suggestion only. There are other popular(varies per individual) WebHosting companies also as given below, which you may want to consider (I have no personal experience with any of these). 1. 1&1 (www.1and1.com) 2. Globat 3. DreamHost 4. Go Daddy 5. Yahoo 6. AN Hosting Inc 7. HostGator 8. And there may be some in India as well (I personally do not prefer to host my websites on servers in India) There are so many other hosting companies. http://www.webhostingjury.com/ has a good list of them. I hope this helps. If I can be of any help with this, please let me know.

However, 100MB will not be enough when we host photos, audio and videos. Better, we'll go for another service provider. I tried reading reviews for bluehost and found mixed responses. Please visit http://www.clickfir e.com/bluehost- review/ However, as said in above website, there might be people who had bad experience and people who might had no problems at all. Pradeep, Do we option of transferring to another hosting server from BlueHost, if required? If answer is yes, may be we can go for BlueHost.

Pradeep, Do you have any comments on 100 MB Space offered by Google? Let us close this asap. Monday - 18th of August would be the deadline. By that time if we do not get any response or any other recommendations, we can go ahead with bluehost.com. What say? Thank you. with regards, Prasanthi.
