*πŸ“œ Plan description

High Performance β€œPro” targets growing sites that need more consistent compute. Includes hosting for 100 websites, 100 GB NVMe storage, β€œ5X more CPU power,” AI site-creation tools, free domain for the first year, free site-migration tool, free CDN, managed WordPress updates, 24/7 chat + phone support, weekly website backups, and security stack (Let’s Encrypt SSL, malware scanning/detection/removal, WAF, DDoS protection, domain privacy free 1st year). Promo price shown is for a 36-month term and renews at a higher rate ($26.99/mo shown in the plan card); VAT/GST not included.

Across the High Performance family, Bluehost advertises increased CPU power, scalable infrastructure for traffic spikes, and more space/memory for heavier sites. Plans include WordPress tooling (staging, SSH & WP-CLI, object/static caching) and the 30-day money-back guarantee on hosting; one free domain for the first year on 12/36-month terms. Control is via cPanel with Bluehost’s WonderSuite additions.

πŸ“„ Editorial Review

Bluehost has operated since 2003 (founded by Matt Heaton) and became part of Endurance International Group in 2010β€”now under Newfold Digital. They’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 (they’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 β†’ VPS β†’ dedicated). The brand’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 acquisitionsβ€”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 Digitalβ€”the parent company of Bluehostβ€”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.

😠 Bluehost has extremely poor customer service

Bluehost has excessive telephone support wait times

When you do get through the operator they have very limited access and cannot resolve serious problems so they create a ticket for escalated support

The same is true for Bluehost Live Chat, who will ask you, exactly what you just asked them over and over again as if you are a 5 year old child, until you become infuriated. Eventually you will be given a support ticket for escalated support

Escalated support can only be contacted via email and are not open on weekends. Response times are usually 2 to 3 days and are usually just a canned response. So, if it is urgent or mission critical Bluehost will not lift a finger to help you or take any notice of any damage they are doing to you. Bluehost does not care less about you or your business, only your credit card number

If there is anything unusual such as an invalid Auth Code or EPP code, login issue, emails not being received, incorrect charges etc. it will literally take you months to have this resolved, if at all, because escalated support will just say the same thing over and over again no matter how many times you explain it to them

If you complain about this they just close the ticket and you have to start all over again

Recommendation: Do not use Bluehost. You will be overcharged, receive very poor service, and be treated very poorly

😁 BlueHost is really the best
Many reasons I have liked their hosting is because it is not expensive and whatever it is worth, its really worth the brand that it is. Uptime, support, security is superior to most top providers. I am glad I chose them ahead of many others because my site is up within literally days and already getting the traffic I was looking for.

😁 A good host for shared and wordpress..
In addition to high performance and low implementation costs, Bluehost India justifies its official recommendation as a WordPress.org hosting platform. They truly are the best when it comes to WordPress hosting. I also purchased a shared hosting from them a few months ago for a client and they were over joyed as much as I was with their uptime..
