Brian was great and took care of helping me with renewing my domain. He was very polite and helpful!!

Agent was helpful and made attempt to help resolve my issue

I recently noticed a charge for an auto-renewal from Bluehost on my credit card statement. My business had been closed since COVID, and because the closure was not a planned or “happy” ending, I simply stopped paying attention to the website and related peripheral details, including the auto-renewal. I contacted Bluehost customer support as soon as I noticed the charge. The associate explained that, because it had been more than two months since the auto-renewal, the charge was outside the refund period. I completely understand that there is a policy in place. What I really appreciated, however, was that the associate took the time to understand my situation and genuinely tried to help rather than simply dismissing my request. I appreciate that effort and the understanding shown during the conversation. I sincerely hope the financial department will consider the circumstances and make an exception by processing a refund. It would mean a lot, especially since the service was no longer being used after my business closed during COVID. Thank you to the support associate for listening and trying to help.

Website Staging

I called Bluehost to help with the name appearing on my website that included my phone number. I have the website in staging preparing to launch about two months from now and was receiving calls already because the phone number was included. The tech was extremely helpful, corrected the problem, and was very professional. The problem was resolved quickly and I could get on with my day.

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.
