Site Speed & Perfect Uptime
Web hosting is the easiest, most economical way to get your website connected to the Internet so you can start building it.
If your hosting plan comes with a free domain through Bluehost and you cancel within the first year, please note there is a non-refundable domain fee based on the regular cost of the domain, which can be found in your control panel, plus any applicable fees, for the domain name. The fee not only covers our own costs, but it ensures that, even if you're dissatisfied with your experience at Bluehost, you won't lose your domain name. Upon payment of the domain fee, you'll be free to transfer it or simply point it elsewhere. Please note, however, that newly registered domains cannot be transferred to another registrar during the first 60 days of the registration period. If you elect to renew your domain name, you will retain ownership of the domain name until the end of its registration period.

Web hosting allows multiple website owners to share space on a single server. This means that the server's resources (RAM, CPU, etc.) are shared among all the websites hosted on that server. This makes it an affordable option for users who don't require a lot of resources. For larger, more resource-intense websites, it may be better to go with VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting plan.
The Web Hosting plans on this page are the same as those on our WordPress Hosting page. At Bluehost, WordPress Hosting and Shared Web Hosting are the same thing.
With a Web Hosting plan, your website shares a server with other sites, which means you own a portion of the server's resources like RAM and CPU, but these aren't exclusively yours. Opting for Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting, however, gives you more room and bandwidth to handle increased website visitors. Unlike shared hosting, VPS lets you scale your site as it gets bigger, offering the flexibility to grow with your needs. Plus, VPS hosting puts more control in your hands, letting you tailor your server configuration to your preferences. Discover the differences between VPS and Shared Web Hosting for more insights.
