Bluehost is one of the most popular web hosts to build a WordPress (WP) site, thanks to its one-click installation process, strong CMS (Content Management System) platform, and multiple hosting plans.
While the company offers other services—including shared hosting, dedicated hosting, and VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting—Bluehost’s reputation for being straightforward and easy to use may be their biggest benefit. They also deliver expedited setup of WooCommerce, a popular e-commerce plugin that runs on the WP engine. Security features like SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates and daily backups also add to their appeal.
“I love Bluehost as a hosting platform,” says web strategist and coach Wes Mcdowell. He also calls Bluehost “super reliable” and adds that “it’s a snap to get [your site] up and running” with this service.
