Unmetered Web Hosting
How much bandwidth will my plan include?
Bandwidth is "Unmetered" which means you are not charged according to the amount of bandwidth you typically use in the normal operation of a personal or small business website.
However, we do require all customers to be fully compliant with our Terms of Service and to not exceed 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds.
What happens if I exceed usage?
If we have concerns about your account's bandwidth utilization, you will receive an email asking you to reduce usage.
It is rare for a customer who is managing a personal or small business website to exceed our usage policies.
Multiple Data Centers
Deploy your VPS closer to your users with multiple data center locations, helping reduce latency and improve performance.

9. How does Jev work with Bluehost AI Gateway?
Jev is a decision model that handles structured decisions such as routing, gating, verification, reranking and judging, alongside your app's existing LLM. It returns typed answers instead of text, making it 20–200x faster and 40–400x cheaper than a typical LLM call. Use it with the same AI Gateway API key and AI Credits you already have.
10. Which AI apps work with Jev?
Jev works with n8n, Langflow, Dify, Sim, Claude Code, OpenClaw, GatorClaw, NanoClaw, Hermes Agent, BMAD and Paperclip on Bluehost AI Gateway. Workflow tools connect through their HTTP or API block, while AI agents use Jev alongside their existing LLM with a small integration you write.

For example, GPT-4o Mini uses 16.5 credits for 1 million input tokens and 66 credits for 1 million output tokens, while Claude Haiku 4.5 uses 110 input credits and 550 output credits.
