WEB HOSTING

Web hosting, also known as shared web hosting, is a type of hosting where multiple websites share the same server and its resources, including RAM and CPU. It is a competitive hosting solution designed for small businesses, blogs, and growing websites that need reliable performance without dedicated infrastructure.

The amount of traffic a shared hosting plan can handle depends on your website’s resource usage and optimization. Bluehost offers scalable web hosting plans designed to support growing websites. If your traffic increases significantly, you can upgrade to a higher-tier hosting solution.

Bluehost includes a free domain name for the first year with most annual web hosting plans. You can register a new domain during checkout or transfer an existing one, allowing you to manage both your domain and web hosting from a single dashboard.

Bundling your domain with website hosting simplifies setup, DNS configuration, and ongoing management. After the first year, the domain renews at the standard rate shown before purchasing and you retain full ownership and control of your domain.

Yes. Our web hosting plans include automated backup solutions, including CodeGuard website backup, to help protect your website data. CodeGuard performs regular backups, monitors file changes, and securely stores restore points.

To restore your site, log in to your hosting dashboard or CodeGuard portal, select a previous backup version, and initiate the restore process. For step-by-step instructions, visit: How to Create a Manual Backup

Yes. With most Bluehost Web Hosting plans, you can create a professional email address using your domain (like you@[yourbusiness].com) and manage it right from your hosting dashboard. Many plans also include an introductory period, so you can get set up and start using professional email right away before continuing with the option that best fits your needs.

Web hosting stores your website’s files on a server so they can be accessed online. The domain name is your website’s address on the internet. You can purchase a domain when you buy website hosting with Bluehost or transfer an existing domain to your account.

Our secure web hosting plans include SSL encryption, monitoring, and protective systems that help safeguard your data. These hosting security features are designed to protect your website from unauthorized access and potential threats.

With shared hosting, multiple websites operate on the same server and share its resources. VPS hosting (Virtual Private Server hosting) provides dedicated resources and greater control. VPS is well suited for websites that require enhanced performance and customization.

Once installed, you can manage your WordPress site from your Bluehost Account Manager, with tools that support updates, performance, and day-to-day site management, so you can launch faster and scale as your site grows.

No. Bluehost displays plan pricing and included features upfront before you purchase, so you know exactly what’s included. Optional add-ons (like extra security or email) are clearly shown during checkout and are never pre-selected - you choose only what you need with no surprises.

You can also add, remove or upgrade services anytime after purchase directly from the Bluehost Account Manager. Billing details, renewal costs, and active services remain visible inside your dashboard so you always have full control and transparency over your hosting plan.

With NVMe servers, you get the latest generation hardware. The server infrastructure is powered by Dell rack mount servers, using AMD EPYC chips with superior processing power and DDR5 RAM. Apart from the latest hardware, you also get MySQL 8 and the latest PHP version running on ultrafast NVMe storage which significantly enhances performance.

After the introductory or promotional term ends, your web hosting plan renews at the regular renewal rate. This pricing is transparently displayed before purchasing, allowing you to plan your budget with confidence and avoid unexpected increases. Unlike providers with complex promotional structures or sudden renewal spikes, Bluehost emphasizes clear, predictable pricing along with competitive renewal rates and savings on longer-term plans.

Yes. Bluehost provides scalable hosting plans that allow you to upgrade your web hosting as your website grows.
