Exemplary Support! Beyond Expectations!

As always, the support person who worked with me today was exceptionally patient, and for this particular issue, he was dogged. He stayed with me until the problem was completely resolved. In the past, I've have other hosting companies and not only do they make it nearly impossible to receive help from an actual live person, when I've reached someone they proved to be less than thorough and less than interested in total resolution. Not here. I couldn't have imagined better support if I tried. It was exemplary.

Jean Rey Claro was wonderful

Jean Rey Claro was wonderful; knowledgeable, helpful and not pushy. Jean Rey made me feel comfortable buying the plan that I did and starting my blog.

Bluehost offers solutions

I have used Bluehost for a number of key services. Their response time is outstanding, and the technical service staff is very competent.

Great rep, great service

The rep I worked with just a while ago was great. She was quick & knowledgeable & got my site changes done with no hassle. She was also very helpful & knowledgeable in answering my questions about how I would proceed using my pro support services for some of the bigger changes I need to make to my site. For me, Bluehost has a unique winner with their pro support site assistance service. It's worth every cent you pay. Hopefully, they will get this & not start gumming it up as companies just seem to feel they need to do by changing the model by adding complex "new feaures" to this still human based unique winner...!

As a legacy costumer of Bluehost....

I have been with Bluehost I think for almost 20 years, well over 10 years. A lot's changed since then. The support staff is excellent. That's why I stay. It's all about people in the end.

Unparalleled customer service help

Unparalleled customer service help. Can't get that elsewhere. Great work.

After days of being passed between…

After days of being passed between multiple hosting companies while my business email was failing, I finally reached Prajna at Bluehost. She was patient, professional, and actually took action to resolve the problem. She updated my nameservers and DNS records, helped reconnect my Google Workspace email and Squarespace website, and stayed with me through a complicated process. It was an incredibly frustrating experience getting to the right person, but Prajna was terrific. Bluehost needs to make reaching knowledgeable human support much easier. Five stars for Prajna. The support system needs serious improvement.

Great Rep

Great Rep - Ann

Why I prefer talking to a live person/agent/Rep.

1. Your AI is next to useless. Talks over you. Doesn't understand. 2. Andy was great. Listened. Adjust his response when I talked over him. We got it done.

FAQs


What is website security?

Website security is the practice of protecting your site and data from threats such as hackers and malware. It is essential to keep your website safe, reliable and trustworthy while protecting sensitive information. Bluehost offers Malware Protection plans that automate malware scanning and cleanup. With always-on monitoring, proactive defense and smart remediation, Bluehost Malware Protection helps site owners and pros lower risk, save time and strengthen visitor confidence with dependable, visible security.


Why is website security important?

Website security is important for protecting your online presence and ensuring consistent access for visitors. It prevents data theft, downtime and reputational damage. Strong protection against evolving cyber threats keeps valuable website information safe, builds visitor trust and helps maintain consistent website performance.


How does a web application firewall (WAF) secure my website?

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects your website by analyzing incoming traffic and blocking harmful requests before they reach your server. It prevents common attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting and brute force attempts. WAF also filters out malicious bots, reduces spam and helps maintain site performance and availability.


Do I still need website security if I already have an SSL certificate?

Yes, even with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate in place, website security remains essential. SSL only protects the data shared between your site and visitors. It doesn’t stop hackers or malware from attacking your site. Strong website security safeguards your site from cyber threats, keeps your visitors’ information safe and helps maintain trust and a positive business reputation.


How does the content delivery network (CDN) speed up my site?

A CDN speeds up your site by storing cached versions of your content on servers around the world. Site visitors receive data from the server closest to them, which reduces load times and improves overall performance.


What is Bluehost Malware Protection and how does it keep my website secure?

Bluehost Malware Protection is a continuous website security service that scans, detects and automatically removes malicious code before it can harm your site. It operates in four stages: scanning every file and page around the clock, identifying known and emerging threats, automatically remediating infections and providing ongoing monitoring after cleanup.


What is the security seal?

The security seal is a visual indicator you can display on your website to show it’s actively protected. It helps build visitor confidence, reinforces credibility and signals that your site takes security seriously.


How can I keep my Bluehost account and websites secure?

Bluehost Malware Protection plans deliver smart AI-driven malware detection and removal to safeguard your entire website in real time. Through constant scanning and proactive remediation, these features allow owners to minimize risk and save time. By providing visible and dependable security, Bluehost boosts visitor trust and keeps your digital presence well-protected. This automated defense ensures a safer and more reliable browsing experience for all your visitors.


Does Bluehost Malware Protection automatically fix infections or do I need technical expertise?

Bluehost Malware Protection automatically remediates infections, restoring your site to a clean state without requiring technical expertise on your part. Once a threat is detected, the remediation process removes the malicious code and continues monitoring your site after cleanup to prevent reinfection. This automated approach means even non-technical website owners get enterprise-level malware removal without hiring a developer or manually intervening during an attack.


How can I contact Bluehost about website security?

You can call 888-401-4678 or use the live chat on our website for immediate assistance with questions about our Malware Protection plans. Bluehost provides dedicated support to help keep your website secure.
