Total Domains Hosted : 1.9+ million domains
Total Paying Hosting Customers: More than 525,000
Total Servers: 850+ (ALWAYS rotating out older servers)
Total Sales/Billing/Support Requests Per Day: Approximately 5,000
Number of new customers (not domains) added each day (Mon-Fri): 800+
Number of new customers (not domains) added each day (Sat, Sun): 500+
Number of new domains added each month: 50,000 – 70,000
Total Bandwidth Capacity: 20 Gigabits/Second (100% ours, not shared in ANY way)

Bluehost/Hostmonster/Fastdomain have been wildly successful. I’m so grateful to have been part of this incredible venture. There was and is an ENORMOUS amount of effort put into making our products the best that we know how to make it. Add to that a lot of luck and we get Bluehost and Hostmonster."

From above, you can see that in 2009, it's a very successful year for Bluehost, and they have further built up their leading position in the industry.
