Note: For instructions on renewing our services or products, see our step-by-step guide on how to use the renewal center.

PayPal

Payments can be made online using a credit card or PayPal account. At this time, we can only accept instant payments, which means you must have a bank account or credit card directly linked to your PayPal account for the payment to process successfully.

By using your PayPal account with Bluehost, you agree to set PayPal as your default payment method for all future auto-renewals. This can be updated at any time within your PayPal account. If you choose to add a credit card to the account, it will be set as the default payment method for all auto-renewals, and your PayPal account will be used as a secondary payment method if the primary method fails.

  1. Create your account.
  2. Review the Plan Information.

Checks and Money Orders

We accept checks for renewal payments. If you prefer to pay using a check, we've provided instructions below.

Our prices are subject to change at any time and without warning. However, the rate quoted on the invoice will continue to be honored as long as the payment is received by the due date or within 30 days of the date it was issued.

Services renewing on a monthly basis require an active credit or debit card or PayPal account on file for automated renewals.

  1. Ensure the check is payable to Bluehost.com and is in US funds drawn from a US bank.
  2. Complete the form by filling in the required details.
  3. Please allow fifteen (15) business days (about two weeks) for processing and application of check or money order payments to your account.
  4. Include on a separate piece of paper along with your check the following pieces of information and mail it along with your payment to:

IMPORTANT:

  • PAYMENT SUBMISSIONS THAT DO NOT CONTAIN THE REQUIRED ITEMS WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU.

  • The above addresses are for payment remittance only. Do not send any requests for technical assistance, customer service, reports of abuse, or legal correspondence to the contact listed above, as you will not receive a response. 

  • Bluehost cannot credit or apply a payment to your account until the payment is received, deposited, and cleared. Payments by check or money order sent via postal mail may, therefore, require more time to process.  

  • Check or Money Order payments are non-refundable. If we are unable to successfully apply the payment to your account, the payment will be mailed back to you. 

Summary

Bluehost payment options include a variety of methods for both new account sign-ups and renewals, which ensures your convenience and flexibility. Accepted methods include credit cards (American Express, Discover, MasterCard, Visa) and PayPal for all transactions. For renewals, Bluehost accepts checks and wire transfers.

Users can easily enter their credit card information during the sign-up process and update it at any time. For successful processing, PayPal requires customers to link their bank account or credit card for an instant payment.

For those who prefer to use checks for renewal payments, Bluehost provides clear instructions to ensure the process is smooth and efficient. Bluehost guarantees that the rates quoted at the time of invoice issuance will be honored if payments are made by the due date or within a 30-day grace period, even if prices change.
