Today we are moving our new site (6.13) from a local test server (wamp) to Bluehost. We have no experience with Bluehost and was wondering what was the best way to do the install might be ( manual or one-click)?

Anyone who has experience with Bluehost, we would love your opinions on this topic.

Thanks for your time!

It doesn't matter what host you are with. Do a manual install. Then you have full control over the options available.

Thanks, ScoutBaker, you have given me some great information on this Forum recently, I hope that I can return the favor some day!

I had kind of figured it was best to do a manual install but the ease of a one click was a appealing. I have found a few tutorials on how to do a manual install on Bluehost and I will spend some time getting familiar with it.

Thanks again...

where are these tutorials you found? your thread pops up as number one when you type install on bluehost, so it might be helpful.

The simple tutorial that I found was here. http://spreadbluehost.com/install-drupal-bluehost
I was concerned at first about doing a manual install but found it to be very easy. The only thing different in my case is since I was moving a site from local host to the Bluehost the only thing that I really needed to pay attention to was changing the database name / username/ password in the settings.php file.
