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

Self-managed VPS hosting is a virtual private server where you control the entire server environment. You get full root access to install custom software, select your own operating system, and configure web servers and services as you prefer. Unlike shared hosting, resources like CPU RAM and disk space are allocated to your site and apps for higher performance and predictability.

With a self-managed vps, you handle server management tasks such as OS updates, security hardening, package installs, and performance tuning. A managed VPS, sometimes called fully managed VPS, offloads more of that work to the hosting provider’s expert support team, which is easier for newcomers but offers less complete control. 

VPS hosting gives you an isolated virtual private environment with allocated resources and a dedicated IP address, making it a strong middle ground for performance and control. A dedicated server is a single physical server that delivers maximum isolation and customization at a higher cost. Shared hosting is the most affordable option but is strictly optimized for small and medium traffic websites.

Yes. Full root access lets you install, configure, and run PHP or other runtimes, optimize web servers, and tailor performance for your website or application. 

Start with the workload’s memory, storage, and CPU needs, then match them to VPS plans with NVMe SSD for optimal speed on reads and writes. If you anticipate growth or traffic spikes, select a plan that can scale to more resources quickly so you maintain high performance without re-architecting.

A self-managed VPS is self-supported. Premium support is available if you contact sales.

Yes. With full freedom and root access you can tune PHP settings, caching, and database engines to suit your site. NVMe SSD helps reduce query latency, AMD EPYC processors provide strong concurrency, and the ability to choose your own operating system and control panel supports both simple and complex WordPress sites at high performance.

Bluehost Self-managed VPS is a very high-performance offering for the price makes it a high-value.

Yes. With complete control on a virtual private server, you can host multiple websites, manage DNS and email, and onboard clients through your control workflows. To succeed you’ll need clear operating procedures for updates, backups, monitoring, and security so you manage data and performance like a professional hosting provider.

Login to your control panel to upgrade your server. After scaling, review your configuration to ensure web servers, databases, and caches are tuned to use the new capacity so your site maintains high availability and performance.

If you need cPanel check out our managed VPS. You can start with command-line management for maximum control and add cPanel later for an intuitive control panel that streamlines routine tasks. Adding cPanel does not remove root access; it simply provides a GUI layer to help you manage and maintain your server more efficiently.
