Bluehost vs Namecheap - Hosting and Affiliate?

[whitefang]

I have been thinking of creating a website, a few actually, and I was wondering what is the best hosting to do such things.
I see that Bluehost has a lot to offer for little money, unlimited domains, unlimited hosting, free domain (this one is confusing me a bit), free stuff worth $200 and a lot more.
Namecheap also seems rather nice, but they have far more limitations like unlimited hosting, a play for 13 or 26 domains, and you need to buy the domains separately (this one I understand).
So for me money is no issue, but which one of them is better, which one of them did you use and didn't had problems with?
Well, it all comes down to the affiliate program.
Which one is better? I understand that Namecheap has a "Discount code" referral system while Bluehost is "click my link and sign up, or did I miss something?
Give me your honest thoughts (only if you have used them, please)

Blluehost is really cheap if you use their special link - i think its $3/month for 3 years. Google around to find it. You can cancel at any time, but you do have to prepay.

I love Bluehost. They're amazing. They're quick, reliable, but more importantly they have the best customer service i've ever seen with a hosting company. They pick up the phone with a 5 minute or less wait time and help you with anything you need, from adding a domain to installing wordpress. I only have good things to say about bluehost - they've gone above and beyond what i'd expect from a hosting company. Plus you get a lot of freebies, fb ads, google ads, etc.

I personally have had terrible experiences with namecheap.. I used them as a domain registrar for a ranked domain, and they stole the domain 4 days after I purchased it (and took it away from me). I'd never go back to them, but a lot of people have good experience with them as a domain registrar. They're not a known hosting company.

tldr; Go with bluehost hands down.

How do you mean google ads, fb ads? And how is the affiliate program by them?

To be honest with you guys, i have multiple hosting accounts with, bluehost and hostgator and namecheap
the best is bluehost, don't start with namecheap hosting until you have other different options to work with
