*๐Ÿ“œ Plan description

Business Standard adds larger meetings and much more storage while extending AI across the suite. The on-page features list email matching your domain, 2 TB Drive cloud storage per user, Meet video conferencing for up to 150 participants with polling, breakout rooms, and recording, plus Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Sites and Chat with guest access. Gemini AI assistance works across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Meet, and Chat; you also get the Advanced Gemini app, NotebookLM Plus for research, and Vids for AI-powered video creation. The plan tile shows a promotional $3.00/user/mo price with โ€œSave 50%โ€ for a 12-month term, renewing at the regular rate thereafter (VAT/GST not included). For collaborative teams that outgrow Starterโ€™s storage and meeting caps, Standard balances power and value without the compliance features of Plus.

All Google Workspace plans sold via Bluehost integrate directly with your Bluehost control panel for quick provisioning and domain alignment. Bluehostโ€™s page reiterates a 30-day money-back guarantee on Hosting and/or Solutions attached to your account (domain fees and many add-ons are excluded; free domain values are deducted from refunds; no refunds after 30 days). Support access is 24/7 with chat and phone (sales and toll-free numbers are published). Payment options in the help center include Credit Card, PayPal, and Checks/Money Orders. Pricing is per user per month; taxes such as VAT/GST are not included in the displayed rates; renewals occur at the regular rate after the introductory term.

๐Ÿ“„ Editorial Review

Bluehost has operated since 2003 (founded by Matt Heaton) and became part of Endurance International Group in 2010โ€”now under Newfold Digital. Theyโ€™re also an ICANN-accredited registrar (originally via FastDomain/HostMonster). The brand targets a broad, global audience with multi-language (EN, ES, FR, DE, IT, NL) and multi-currency support.
Product portfolio:
  • Shared Hosting: entry plans aimed at blogs and small sites, with a push toward "High Performance Hosting" options that increase CPU/RAM and storage for heavier workloads.
  • Managed WordPress Hosting / WordPress Cloud: an all-in-one stack focused on speed and security (LiteSpeed servers, NVMe SSD, built-in caching, global CDN, HTTP/3, Object Cache Pro). Security messaging includes firewalling, daily malware scanning, DDoS mitigation, auto WP updates, and free SSL. WordPress extras include guided onboarding, SSO into WP Admin, staging, automated backups, and their WonderSuite (templates/WonderBlocks/AI tools).
  • VPS Hosting: AMD EPYC compute, DDR5 RAM, NVMe storage, full root, and optional guided setup (theyโ€™ll install cPanel and WordPress if desired).
  • Dedicated Servers: latest-gen Xeon with NVMe, root access, and managed support; positioned for high-traffic applications.
  • Domains & Professional Email: domain registration and branded email options; they also resell Google Workspace (newer plans highlighting Google AI/Gemini features).
  • Website Design Services: an in-house team builds custom WordPress sites and stores (content/SEO copywriting, design, onboarding, and post-launch change window).

Bluehost is still a feature-rich, WordPress-centric provider with broad plan coverage (shared โ†’ VPS โ†’ dedicated). The brandโ€™s scale brings polished tooling and integrations; however, long-time users have noted quality fluctuations through ownership changes, and marketing can be aggressive around "best"/"top-rated" claims.

Blue Host was once regarded as a highly active and reliable hosting company, but its quality has gradually declined following a series of acquisitionsโ€”a trend also reflected in WHTop customer reviews. The company continues to highlight its past recognition by ReviewSignal, a now-defunct review platform with limited credibility, which further harms its image.

In past years, Bluehost attempted to expand internationally, even operating bluehost.cn (now defunct as of 2025) and acquiring numerous localized domain names in different countries to consolidate its global brand presence.

In August 2021, Newfold Digitalโ€”the parent company of Bluehostโ€”acquired Yoast, the widely used WordPress SEO plugin. Since then, Bluehost has actively promoted Yoast as part of its hosting packages, a move seen as a way to boost profit margins.
