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.

Blue Host has the absolute best customer service! I've been administering domains for more than 20 years, used many hosting services, so this accolade is coming from someone who knows the good, bad and ugly of dealing with hosting customer and tech services!

30+ Years Don't Lie! Bluehost rocks...

I've been using Bluehost for most of the 30+ years my websites have needed a home! They are quick to respond and always fix any issues immediately, including filling in the technical knowledge I don't have! Excellent service, which is more than I can say about other website hosting businesses I've tried over the years. For example, I set up my own emails and aliases instead of paying big bucks elsewhere!

The performance is good and the technical support via chat is fast and solves the problem from the first contact most of the time, but there are things that we want the wonderful company to update. I always tell the technical support about them, including adding the Western language to the hosting control panel and technical support. Other than that, Bluehost is a wonderful and truly pioneering company.

FAQs

VPS hosting (Virtual Private Server hosting) gives you your own virtual server-an isolated virtual machine on a physical server-so you get dedicated resources, stronger security/isolation, and full control of your server environment. Thanks to virtualization, multiple VPS servers run on the same hardware, but each has its own operating system, disk space, and server configurations. You can install software (including custom software) and optimize for your specific workloads-ideal when shared hosting isn’t enough but a dedicated physical server feels excessive.

With a VPS hosting plan, you get:

 

  • Dedicated resources (vCPU, RAM, NVMe SSD storage) for exceptional performance and stability under high traffic.
  • Full root access and server management freedom to install custom software, tune services, and control your hosting environment.
  • A familiar web hosting control panel (cPanel/WHM) for quick setup and server administration—great for small business sites and agencies hosting multiple websites.
  • Advanced security options (firewalling, DDoS protection integrations) plus backups for disaster recovery.
  • Easy scalability—add more resources with just a few clicks as you grow.

Pick the right VPS hosting plan - Standard NVMe 4, Enhanced NVMe 8, or Ultimate NVMe 16 based on the CPU, RAM, and storage you need. Provisioning is fast, and upgrades to more resources take just a few clicks inside your dashboard. With self-managed VPS, you have full root access to configure your virtual private server exactly how you want, install custom software, and manage your server environment independently. Note that cPanel is not included with self-managed plans and must be installed separately if desired.

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is the protocol that lets NVMe SSD drives deliver far higher data transfer speeds and lower latency than SATA SSDs-translating to faster performance and page loads for hosting websites and apps. With NVMe ssd storage, busy sites and popular software stacks feel snappier, even under peak traffic.

Use a VPS solution when you need power, control, and flexibility:

 

  • High-traffic sites, ecommerce, agency hosting (multiple cPanel accounts).
  • Custom stacks and server configurations (LAMP/LEMP, queues, search, etc.) on Linux operating systems.
  • Staging/dev, APIs, SaaS apps—anything that benefits from full root access, unlimited bandwidth (unmetered), and custom tuning.

Yes, you can scale CPU, RAM, and disk space with just a few clicks. Upgrading keeps your server, IPs, and data intact, so your site stays fast and responsive as you grow. Simply log in 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.

The best VPS hosting balances power, control, and scalability for your stack and traffic. Prioritize: dedicated resources (vCPU/RAM) on latest-gen CPUs, NVMe SSD storage for faster I/O, full root access plus a familiar control panel (cPanel/WHM), easy upgrades to more resources in just a few clicks, built-in security (firewalling, DDoS protection, backups), high uptime in reliable data centers, and responsive support. Match the vps hosting plan to your workload (ecommerce, SaaS, APIs, high-traffic blogs) and confirm you can install custom software and tune server configurations as you grow.

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

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.

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.
