Rationale
Bluehost offers WordPress hosting services, which allows users to build websites and blogs using the WordPress platform. While WordPress itself has features like a rich text editor, community tools, and monetization options, Bluehost is primarily a hosting provider. It does not directly offer the content publishing and distribution platform features described in the prompt, such as a built-in recommendation engine, detailed reader engagement metrics, or a native membership monetization model for content creators. The 'eCommerce Essentials' plan mentions 'Visitor Memberships' and 'Offer Paid Courses', but these are functionalities enabled by WooCommerce plugins on a WordPress site, not inherent features of a content publishing platform like Medium. Therefore, Bluehost does not align with the core value proposition of Medium as an online publishing platform for writers and readers.
