When I'm able to contact support
When I'm able to contact support, they almost always are able to help. Since I set up my website by myself, I'm certainly no pro. I was able to set the website up get it going and getting sales. Through Blue Host's support.
I was struggling with a DNS issue
I was struggling with a DNS issue, i had other agents come and give me generic answers but this one agent, Rayan, was patient with me, though i said hurtful things out of frustration, he listened and did what no agent cared to do, he listened to me and went thoroughly and found the issue and solved it. Rayan, you are the best

SSL Certificate FAQs
What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that creates an encrypted connection between your website and its visitors. It helps protect sensitive information like logins, payment details and form submissions, and enables the HTTPS and padlock indicators that show visitors your site is secure.
How do SSL certificates work?
When a browser connects to your website, your server presents its SSL certificate. The browser confirms it was issued by a trusted certificate authority, then both exchange keys to create an encrypted connection, keeping information shared between visitors and your site private.
Which SSL certificates does Bluehost offer?
Bluehost offers three Premium SSL certificates issued by DigiCert: Single Domain SSL, Wildcard DV SSL and Extended Validation SSL. Each option provides HTTPS encryption, with different levels of validation, coverage, and visitor trust to fit your website's needs.
Do I need an SSL certificate for my domain?
Yes. An SSL certificate for your domain encrypts information visitors share with your website and enables HTTPS. Without one, browsers may show a "Not Secure" warning, which can make visitors hesitant to browse, sign up, or make a purchase.
What happens if my site has no SSL certificate?
Browsers may label your site "Not Secure" in the address bar and information visitors enter, like passwords or payment details, can be sent without encryption. These warnings can discourage visitors from engaging with your business or sharing information through your site.
How can I get an SSL certificate?
Choose a Premium SSL plan above, enter the domain you want to secure, and complete checkout. DigiCert then validates your certificate. Domain Validation certificates are typically issued within 1 business day, while Extended Validation certificates can take 1–5 business days due to the additional verification required before issuance.
Where can I buy an SSL certificate?
You can buy an SSL certificate directly from Bluehost. Our Premium SSL certificates are issued by DigiCert, a globally recognized certificate authority. Existing customers can also purchase Premium SSL from the Marketplace or Security tab in their Bluehost Portal.
How much does an SSL certificate cost?
Premium SSL certificates issued by DigiCert start at $3.33/mo for Single Domain DV SSL. Wildcard DV SSL and Extended Validation SSL are $19.99/mo, all for a 12-month term. A free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate is included with all Bluehost hosting plans.
Is DigiCert better than Let's Encrypt?
Both provide trusted SSL certificates recognized by all major browsers and help secure information shared through your website. Premium SSL certificates issued by DigiCert add benefits beyond standard SSL, including warranty coverage of up to $1,750,000, a trusted site seal, enhanced validation options, and dedicated support.
Which SSL certificate is right for my website?
The right SSL certificate depends on your website's needs. Single Domain SSL is often a good fit for websites that only need to secure one domain, such as personal websites, blogs, portfolios, and many small business sites. Wildcard SSL protects a domain and unlimited subdomains with a single certificate, making it a popular choice for websites with a store, blog, customer portal, or other subdomains. Extended Validation SSL includes enhanced business verification and is often chosen by eCommerce businesses and organizations that handle sensitive customer information or want to strengthen visitor confidence through additional identity verification.
How do I upgrade from free SSL to premium SSL?
Log in to your Bluehost account, go to the Marketplace or Security tab and select a Premium SSL plan. After checkout, DigiCert validates your certificate. Once issued, you’ll have access to benefits such as warranty coverage, a site seal and dedicated support.
How do I renew my SSL certificate?
Bluehost SSL certificates are designed to renew automatically, helping keep your website protected without requiring you to track renewal dates. As certificate lifespans become shorter across the industry, automatic renewal helps simplify ongoing certificate management.
Do SSL certificates work on VPS or Dedicated servers?
Yes. Premium SSL certificates can be used on Bluehost VPS and Dedicated Hosting plans. Once installed, they help encrypt information shared through your website and provide visitors with a secure HTTPS connection.
