Their customer support is dialed
Their customer support is dialed. Although the wait times are quite long sometimes and the timeout for the chat is pretty quick but I would assume due to this set-up, that is how we end up with better service. So if you're serious about receiving service; stay glued to the chat and wait your turn.

Fast and easy
Couldn't figure out a problem so called customer service. The automated system was quite good and short to get me to a live person. They talked me through the solution and made some changes on their end. Everything was fast and easy.

The last support person I spoke with, Carl, was amazing. He totally resolved an issue that had been going on for almost a week with an SSL cert. Other issues had come up prior to speaking with him, and they were resolved quickly. Overall, I would say I received very good service.

Expediters Matter
Brendon Becke took over after first escalation and put us in contact with the right techs at the right times. He followed up every step of the way to insure the process continued moving forward until all issues were resolved. If all Bluehost "expediters" are as diligent, Bluehost will continue to prosper.

Premium SSL Certificate Pricing FAQs
What is the average SSL certificate price for a standard website?
The average SSL certificate price ranges from free to around $200 per year, depending on the certificate authority and validation level. Free certificates provide basic encryption. Premium certificates add warranty coverage, site trust indicators and dedicated support. At Bluehost, Premium SSL certificates issued by DigiCert start at $3.33/mo and help protect the information visitors share on your site.
How much does the cost of SSL certificate vary between DV and EV levels?
The cost of an SSL certificate depends on the level of verification required. Domain Validation (DV) confirms domain ownership and is the most affordable, starting at $3.33/mo. Extended Validation (EV) includes additional business verification, a $1,750,000 warranty, and is available for $19.99/mo.
Can I get a free SSL certificate for my website through Bluehost?
Yes, most Bluehost hosting plans include a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt, which enables HTTPS on your site. For added assurance, you can upgrade to a Premium SSL certificate at any time. Premium SSL includes warranty coverage, a site seal, additional validation and coverage options and dedicated customer support, none of which come with free SSL.
Where is the best place to buy SSL certificate options that include technical support?
The best place to buy an SSL certificate with technical support is often your web hosting provider, because setup and support stay in one place. Bluehost offers Premium SSL certificates issued by DigiCert, a globally recognized certificate authority, along with 24/7 expert support. If you need help choosing the right certificate for your website, our customer support team is here to help.
Why would I pay an SSL certificate price instead of using a free version like Let's Encrypt?
Free and premium SSL certificates both encrypt information shared through your website, but Premium SSL adds benefits beyond standard SSL. Bluehost Premium SSL includes warranty coverage of up to $1,750,000, a trusted site seal, additional validation and coverage options and dedicated support. For websites that collect logins, payments or personal information, these benefits can help strengthen customer confidence.
What is the typical SSL certificate price for a Wildcard SSL that covers multiple subdomains?
The typical Wildcard SSL certificate price ranges from about $80 to over $500 per year, depending on the certificate authority and validation level. A Wildcard SSL secures your primary domain and unlimited subdomains with a single certificate. Bluehost’s Wildcard DV SSL issued by DigiCert is $19.99/mo, helping you protect your shop, blog or customer portal without buying separate certificates.
Does the SSL certificate price usually include a site seal and a security warranty?
Yes, Premium SSL certificates include a site seal and a warranty, while free certificates don't. Every Bluehost Premium SSL certificate issued by DigiCert includes site trust indicators that reassure visitors your site is protected. The warranty is $10,000 on Single Domain and Wildcard DV SSL and $1,750,000 on Extended Validation SSL.
Can I save money on the cost of SSL certificate by purchasing a multi-year plan?
Yes, multi-year SSL plans typically offer a lower effective annual rate than single-year billing. SSL certificates are now valid for up to 200 days, but your certificate is automatically reissued throughout your prepaid term. This helps keep your site continuously protected without requiring manual renewals. A longer plan can also simplify billing and reduce the need to renew your SSL every year.
