I will take this opportunity to warn everyone about BlueHost.com. Three knocks against them:

1) Most importantly: They store passwords in plaintext and require the last four char of your password whenever you contact support. I kid you not.

2) Almost as important: They shut down customers when they disagree with them politically — this is a Salt Lake City outfit, and therefore extremely anti-gay, and you will be paying people who take down pro-LGBT websites simply for being pro-LGBT.

3) Terrible tech documentation (they "support" Rails but it’s quite difficult to actually use).
