FAQ


What is Shared Hosting?

Shared Hosting is one of the most popular hosting packages because it provides an affordable way to get your website online. Shared Hosting works by allowing multiple users to share space on a single server maintained by the hosting provider (Bluehost). A Shared Hosting package can include multiple offers or combinations of features as offered by their hosting provider. Bluehost Shared Hosting is perfect for blogging, hobbies and small business websites.


What are Shared Hosting Benefits?

When you sign up for a Shared Hosting package, your biggest benefit is purchasing hosting at an affordable price. In addition to various features, our shared hosting platform is managed which means users don’t have to worry about server management and platform patches. When you purchase a Bluehost Shared Hosting package it also includes an SSL certificate, domain name and more!


What is the difference between Shared vs WordPress Hosting?

Anyone who has a website needs hosting to get their website online. Shared Hosting is a low-cost option for new users that is affordable and can be used with WordPress. Any website hosted through Bluehost automatically has WordPress installed and ready to use. Shared WordPress Hosting is fully integrated with all the WordPress features to include automatic WordPress updates and installation. For a more in-depth answer, head over to our blog and read shared hosting vs WordPress hosting.


What is the difference between Shared vs VPS Hosting?

When you have a Shared Hosting package you are one of multiple users hosting their website on a web server. This means a specific allotment of resources (RAM, CPU, etc) are not guaranteed for your website. Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting provides more space and bandwidth to manage a higher influx of traffic to your website. VPS Hosting in contrast to shared hosting, allows you to expand a website over time so you can easily scale up your website as it grows. Users have a much higher degree of control with VPS Hosting so you can customize your control configuration as you’d like. Learn more about VPS hosting vs shared hosting


How do I get started with Shared Hosting?

Bluehost strives to make it easy for our customers to get their website online with the purchase of our website hosting packages. When you visit the Bluehost website you will select your Shared Web Hosting plan. These plans vary in prices and features. Once you select your hosting package we will automatically install the latest version of WordPress for you. Once you’re logged in, it’s time to get your website online!


How do I migrate to Bluehost?

If you already have a website and are considering changing your web host, then you will need some assistance with migration. Bluehost provides a migration service that can assist you in getting all your files transferred securely and correctly. Migrating your website can be time consuming and extremely complex so we want to provide you with the best support possible from our team of experts.


What exactly is shared in shared hosting?

Shared 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


Is shared hosting safe?

Yes, shared hosting is safe. However, as multiple websites are hosted on the same server, there is a slight risk of one website affecting the others. That's why it's important to choose a reputable hosting provider, like Bluehost, who takes security seriously.


Is shared hosting good for WordPress?

Yes, shared hosting is a great option for WordPress websites. In fact, we offer automatic WordPress installation and updates with their shared hosting plans.


How much traffic can shared hosting handle?

The amount of traffic a shared hosting plan can handle depends on the amount of resources and bandwidth your website requires. Bluehost offers different shared hosting plans with varying amounts of resources and storage to handle different levels of traffic. If your website starts to outgrow your plan, you can always upgrade to a more powerful hosting option.


How can I buy a domain for a shared hosting website?

When you purchase a shared hosting plan with a provider like Bluehost, you can often get a free domain included with your plan. If you already have a domain, you can easily transfer it to your new hosting provider. You can check the availability of a domain here. 


Can I get a professional business email account with a shared hosting plan?

Yes, most shared hosting plans come with the ability to create email accounts using your domain name. Learn more about getting a professional business email account with Google Workspace


Can I have an eCommerce store on a shared hosting plan?

Yes, you can definitely have an eCommerce store on a shared hosting plan. You can also opt for an eCommerce-specific hosting plan with Bluehost's WooCommerce hosting. This will ensure that your online store runs smoothly and securely.
