BlueHost
BlueHost is a web hosting company, so what you buy here is server space, domain names and the tools to run a website. Plans run from entry-level shared hosting for a first blog up to VPS and dedicated servers for busier sites. It is well known among WordPress users for hosting set up around that platform. Everything is supplied online, and help is available around the clock.
About BlueHost
Choosing a plan
Shared hosting is the starting point. It suits personal sites, blogs and small business pages that don't need much power. A VPS gives you a reserved slice of a server, which helps once traffic grows. Dedicated servers hand over a whole machine for the heaviest workloads. WordPress hosting is tuned for that CMS and installs it in one click. Some shared plans, including Plus and Choice Plus, let one account run several websites.
Extras that come with hosting
Domains can be registered in the same account, so web addresses and hosting are managed together. A website builder helps people who don't write code. Plans include a free SSL certificate, SSD storage and a control panel, usually cPanel, with one-click installs for common apps.
Paying and refunds
BlueHost takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express and PayPal. Most hosting plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can cancel early and claim the hosting fee back. Domain registration fees are normally excluded from that refund. Support runs 24/7 by phone, live chat and email, and a knowledge base covers common questions.
