We’ve used Bluehost as part of our infrastructure.
We’ve used Bluehost as part of the infrastructure behind Rogue Media Solutions, and at this point we’ve put it through a lot more than a basic small-business website. We manage multiple WordPress sites, client projects, DNS, SSL, staging, migrations, email-related configurations, and a growing number of local businesses through our hosting environment. Overall, Bluehost has given us a solid foundation to build on. What I appreciate most is that we’ve been able to grow without immediately having to rebuild our entire hosting stack. When something does come up, support has generally helped us get pointed in the right direction, and the platform gives us enough control to actually manage our clients properly rather than treating every website like a basic DIY site. No hosting company is perfect. There are occasional delays with DNS, SSL provisioning, caching, or changes propagating, and sometimes you have to know enough to diagnose what you’re actually looking at before contacting support. But that’s infrastructure. What matters to me is whether the system is dependable once configured correctly, and ours has been. For a small agency like Rogue Media Solutions, Bluehost has allowed us to spend more time building websites and helping local businesses instead of constantly fighting the server they live on. So far, it’s been a good fit for where we are and where we’re headed. — Rich Rogue Media Solutions

This review is overdue from 2013 actually
This review is overdue, sorry about that. Years ago I was the webmaster for a Messianic Rabbi in Chicago. I took his notes and mp3 audio files, after sermons and bible studies, that he sent me by email and put them on a WordPress website. The site grew over the years and the host organization that gave us hosting for free, for years, was loosing it's network administrator. We needed to find another host. I did a Google search on sites that host WordPress websites and Bluehost came up. Trustpilot had good ratings and I talked to sales and told them the specifics and the price quoted was reasonable. Their technical support team was awesome. They transferred the website and all the content from the old host to their site after I provided ftp login credentials. Everything went smoothly thanks to their help. The website is still functioning well and I haven't had any problems to date in all these years. I'm in the process of becoming an affiliate for Bluehost because of my great experience with y'all.

After a deeply annoying banking scam
After a deeply annoying banking scam, my accounts were locked out, thus my domains never renewed. Through a very efficient, polite and thoughtful operative, Bluehost cut to the chase and sorted it for me in next to no time. That's why I stay with them. When things are broken, they fix them rapido. Thank you.

I cannot say enough about the associate who worked on the issues with me, his technical skills, patience, and importantly he "heard" what I was trying to accomplish delivering the best possible product . Thank you Bluehost!

FAQs
What is website security?
Website security is the practice of protecting your site and data from threats such as hackers and malware. It is essential to keep your website safe, reliable and trustworthy while protecting sensitive information. Bluehost offers Malware Protection plans that automate malware scanning and cleanup. With always-on monitoring, proactive defense and smart remediation, Bluehost Malware Protection helps site owners and pros lower risk, save time and strengthen visitor confidence with dependable, visible security.
Why is website security important?
Website security is important for protecting your online presence and ensuring consistent access for visitors. It prevents data theft, downtime and reputational damage. Strong protection against evolving cyber threats keeps valuable website information safe, builds visitor trust and helps maintain consistent website performance.
How does a web application firewall (WAF) secure my website?
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects your website by analyzing incoming traffic and blocking harmful requests before they reach your server. It prevents common attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting and brute force attempts. WAF also filters out malicious bots, reduces spam and helps maintain site performance and availability.
Do I still need website security if I already have an SSL certificate?
Yes, even with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate in place, website security remains essential. SSL only protects the data shared between your site and visitors. It doesn’t stop hackers or malware from attacking your site. Strong website security safeguards your site from cyber threats, keeps your visitors’ information safe and helps maintain trust and a positive business reputation.
How does the content delivery network (CDN) speed up my site?
A CDN speeds up your site by storing cached versions of your content on servers around the world. Site visitors receive data from the server closest to them, which reduces load times and improves overall performance.
What is Bluehost Malware Protection and how does it keep my website secure?
Bluehost Malware Protection is a continuous website security service that scans, detects and automatically removes malicious code before it can harm your site. It operates in four stages: scanning every file and page around the clock, identifying known and emerging threats, automatically remediating infections and providing ongoing monitoring after cleanup.
What is the security seal?
The security seal is a visual indicator you can display on your website to show it’s actively protected. It helps build visitor confidence, reinforces credibility and signals that your site takes security seriously.
How can I keep my Bluehost account and websites secure?
Bluehost Malware Protection plans deliver smart AI-driven malware detection and removal to safeguard your entire website in real time. Through constant scanning and proactive remediation, these features allow owners to minimize risk and save time. By providing visible and dependable security, Bluehost boosts visitor trust and keeps your digital presence well-protected. This automated defense ensures a safer and more reliable browsing experience for all your visitors.
Does Bluehost Malware Protection automatically fix infections or do I need technical expertise?
Bluehost Malware Protection automatically remediates infections, restoring your site to a clean state without requiring technical expertise on your part. Once a threat is detected, the remediation process removes the malicious code and continues monitoring your site after cleanup to prevent reinfection. This automated approach means even non-technical website owners get enterprise-level malware removal without hiring a developer or manually intervening during an attack.
How can I contact Bluehost about website security?
You can call 888-401-4678 or use the live chat on our website for immediate assistance with questions about our Malware Protection plans. Bluehost provides dedicated support to help keep your website secure.
