Bluehost Coupon & Ordering Q&As
Can I choose month-to-month billing?
No,
Bluehost doesn’t offer monthly billing cycles. You need to sign up for a
minimum of 12 months.
What other billing cycles do they offer?
When
you set up your new account, you can choose to be billed for 12 months, 24
months, or 36 months.
Is domain registration free?
Yes,
Bluehost offers one free domain registration. For the lowest level and mid
level hosting plans, the domain registration is free for one year. For the
highest level plan, the domain registration is free for the life of your
account.
Can I use Paypal to purchase a hosting plan?
Yes,
Bluehost accepts Paypal payments.
What types of payment do they accept?
Bluehost
accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express credit cards, as well
as Paypal.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes,
Bluehost offers a 30 day money back guarantee for all new hosting accounts.
Only hosting fees are refundable, not fees for extra services such as domain
registrations, SSL certificates, backup services, etc. However, if you cancel
within 3 days of purchasing your plan, you may be able to get a refund for all
your costs. After 3 days and before 30 days are up, you can get a refund for
hosting fees only.
Will my price go up when my hosting plan renews?
Yes,
the discounted prices apply to your first invoice only. You can get a bigger
discount by paying for up to 36 months of hosting at once when you set up your
account. Whenever your account renews, it will be billed at the regular rate.
What is domain privacy protection?
When
you register a domain from any provider, your personal information (including
your name, address, phone number, and email address) is made publicly available
in the Whois online database. By purchasing domain privacy protection, the
registrant will be listed as Bluehost instead, protecting you from identity
theft, phishing attempts, unsolicited marketing, fraud, etc.
What is Bluehost’s Site Backup Pro service?
With
Site Backup Pro, your website data is automatically backed up on a daily basis.
You can use the one-click restore tool to backup your site from short or long
term archives going back up to a month. You can also download .ZIP files of
your backup to store safely off-site.
What is Search Engine Jumpstart?
Bluehost’s
Search Engine Jumpstart service, SoloSEO, claims to index your site faster on
Google, Yahoo, and Bing search engines. You also get an analysis report of your
website, a step-by-step DIY SEO program, and an ebook on SEO. This may be a
quick and convenient investment for an SEO beginner willing to put in the time
to use the supplied information, but there are plenty of free third-party
options available online for learning SEO basics to optimize your website,
without having to pay an ongoing monthly fee.
What is SiteLock Security Find?
SiteLock
is software provided by Bluehost for an additional monthly fee that offers
several security features. It provides basic automatic spam and malware
monitoring, as well as a security certificate you can display on your website
to promote customer trust.
Which hosting plan should I choose?
Bluehost
offers three levels of shared hosting plans. The lowest level plan only allows
you to host one website, so you’ll need a higher level plan if you need to host
more than one website. The storage amount is also limited for the lowest level
plan, so it’s really only ideal if you need hosting for just one small personal
website.
The
mid level and highest level plans have unlimited websites, storage, and email
accounts, but the highest level plan includes a few extras such as an SSL
certificate, dedicated IP, and domain privacy. Depending on which extra
features you’re planning to purchase, the highest level plan may save you some
money in the long run.
