Company Info:
Bluehost is one of the favored hosts as per wordpress.org (the creators of WordPress software) and has been around as a hosting company for many years.
You can read their Trust Pilot (independent review platform) here but overall they get 4.0 / 5 stars at time of writing (December 2022). It is worrying that they have 30% 1 star reviews so do read those in case you find something there which alarms you before purchasing.
Costs over time:
Hosting Plans will often be charged at one rate for the initial contract but a higher rate in order to renew the contract. As such it’s nice to know the cost beyond the initial contract.
- Initial period 12 months @ $5.45 p/month with total cost of $65.40
- Renewal cost for the next 12 months being $18.99 for a total of $227.88 or a 350% increase.
- Initial period 36 months @ $7.45 p/month with total cost of $268.20
- Renewal cost for the next 36 months being $18.99 for a total of $683.64 or a 255% increase.
