Payment Methods Accepted

You can purchase a new account or renew an existing account using the payment types listed below.

• Credit Card
• PayPal
• Checks and Money Orders

Credit Card

Some of the credit cards accepted are the following:

• American Express
• Discover
• Master Card
• Visa

New Accounts

During the sign-up process, you will be prompted to provide your Contact Information and Billing Information. Select the Credit Card option and provide your billing details.

Renewals

Once the account has been set up, renewals are processed through the Renewal Center, where you can use your existing card or use a new credit card or PayPal.

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.

New Account

To sign up for a new account using PayPal, select the PayPal option and provide your billing details. Lastly, log in to your PayPal account and follow the instructions to complete the payment.
