Unmetered Web Hosting

How much bandwidth will my plan include?

Bandwidth is "Unmetered" which means you are not charged according to the amount of bandwidth you typically use in the normal operation of a personal or small business website.

However, we do require all customers to be fully compliant with our Terms of Service and to not exceed 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds.

What happens if I exceed usage?

If we have concerns about your account's bandwidth utilization, you will receive an email asking you to reduce usage.

It is rare for a customer who is managing a personal or small business website to exceed our usage policies.

FAQs

Docker hosting on a self-managed VPS is a powerful hosting platform designed for developers who need full control over their Docker environments. This docker hosting platform allows you to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications easily using root access to install Docker Engine, Docker Compose, or Kubernetes. With dedicated resources, unmetered bandwidth, and the freedom to define your own container architecture, it offers a flexible and reliable performance environment ideal for modern applications.

Self-managed Docker hosting on a VPS means you handle the setup process, updates, container deployments, orchestration, and performance tuning yourself—giving you total flexibility and control over your hosting environments. Managed VPS hosting offers more support but limits customization. Self-managed Docker hosting is well suited for experienced developers working on enterprise-level applications who want scalability and the best environment for Dockerized applications.

Absolutely. If you want to build, test, and deploy applications in containerized environments on your own infrastructure, a self-managed VPS with Docker hosting services provides root access, scalability, and full control to configure Docker images, Compose files, and clusters exactly how you want. It supports rapid deployment and integrates well with CI/CD pipelines for efficient development workflows.

Yes. This docker hosting platform provides full root access and a dedicated IP address, allowing you to install, configure, and run Docker Desktop, PHP, or other runtimes. You can optimize web servers and tailor performance for your website or application, ensuring reliable performance and security.

Consider your container workload’s CPU, memory, and storage needs, then select VPS plans with NVMe SSD storage for the best performance. Look for hosting platforms that allow adding additional resources on demand to handle traffic spikes and ensure high uptime. Choosing a plan that supports multiple regions and data centers can also improve your application's availability and response times.

A self-managed VPS is primarily self-supported. Bluehost guarantees the underlying infrastructure, including hardware, network, and uptime, while you manage Docker installation, container orchestration, and configurations. For advanced features or issues, premium support is available by contacting sales.

Yes. With full root access and dedicated resources, you can deploy, manage, and scale Docker containers for web applications or APIs efficiently. NVMe SSD storage accelerates Docker image pulls and container operations, while AMD EPYC processors provide the power needed for high concurrency and reliable performance.

Yes. Bluehost Self-Managed VPS offers a cost-effective alternative to cloud infrastructure providers like AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS). It provides predictable pricing, full control, and avoids vendor lock-in, making it ideal for small businesses and developers looking for affordable, scalable Docker hosting platforms.

Yes. With complete control over your virtual machines and hosting environments, you can host multiple websites, manage DNS and email, and onboard clients. To succeed, maintain clear operating procedures for backups, monitoring, security, and resource usage, including automatic weekly backups to ensure data safety.

Use the control panel to upgrade your server resources such as CPU, RAM, or storage. After scaling, review your Docker configurations and environment variables to optimize web servers, databases, and caches to maintain high performance and availability.

Yes. You can start with command-line management for maximum control and add cPanel later for an easy deployment GUI that streamlines routine tasks. Adding cPanel does not remove root access; it simply provides a user-friendly control panel to manage your Docker hosting platform more efficiently.
