Hello all, sorry to jump on this.. but I just signed up for the ‘WordPress Optimized Hosting’ at BlueHost and wanted to share..

(why I went with them..) I run WP in nginx already and liked having nginx available to me, but you get a Control Panel (CP/cp) kvm container which you seem to not get root on.

(what I am not happy about..) So there are mail services running, dns, mysql, all attached to the external interface of the container. You do not get root, you do not get a real Cpanel CP. It looks to be version 1142 which is fine, but it comes with Frontpage Extentions (frontpage-2002-SR1.2.i386); What do I need that for? The webpage proudly says they are using php-fpm; But there is no php-fpm binary on the instance nor is it installed.. they are fast cgi processes in apache; not the same..

I have opened several tickets as the people in the very responsive live IM chats have suggested and will wait for a response.

(what I am happy about..) Looks like they have an nginx / varnish / apache setup going, which seems like over kill.

I am looking to shutdown the services that are not needed and will never be used (dovecot, cpanel processes, everything lvm, named and nscd, spamd, pure-ftpd, etc..)

Am I being too picky?

Out of my 2G offered.. and I am running nothing yet.. most of it seems to be taken up by these processes that I will never use..

I am open to comments or opinions..

Thank you for taking the time to read this..
