Speed and Performance
Overall, Bluehost provided faster website performance in all regions of the U.S. Although Jaguar PC has multiple data center locations, Bluehost servers, network, and caching technology allowed for faster website loading times.
Customer Support
When it comes to customer support, we have to give the advantage to Bluehost.
Bluehost has made some very noticeable improvements to their customer support services. The support agents have always been very helpful. But now, the response times via live chat are some of the fastest that I’ve ever experienced. Their issue resolution is also highly impressive. On the other side, although the response times from Jaguar PC are generally fast, the first line support often has to escalate issues via support tickets.
Therefore, Bluehost is also the winner in this category.
