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.

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.

The agent Cherry was superb
The agent Cherry was superb. I thought I had almost erased my whole website because I did bulk update of plugins that caused a critical error. I was so worried, but Cherry restored the site so I could see its contents as before--an immense relief to me. Cherry also let me know the Theme I was using could not be updated--it was from 2014 and its developer/creator had let go of it. She helped me consider ProDesign for a new theme and I'll be looking into that. There is nothing so scary to the lay person as seeing a website error you cannot fathom. Many kudos to Cherry--just grand help.

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.
