Bluehost Pricing Plans in 2026: The Prices They Publish, and the Ones They Don't

Every published Bluehost price, checked by hand in 2026.

The plans that publish no renewal rate

Bluehost Cloud ($65 to $230/mo on a 36-month term), Agency hosting ($65 to $230/mo), and Virtual Dedicated Servers ($13.59 to $105.69/mo on 24-month terms) all show no renewal rate at all. Professional Email belongs in that group too. We go through each plan below.

Shared and WordPress hosting plans

• Bluehost's web hosting and WordPress hosting pages offer the same three plans at the same cost:

Starter - $3.99/mo for 10 sites, 10 GB NVMe storage, around 40,000 visits/month, chat-only support.

Business - $6.99/mo for 50 sites and 50 GB storage, adding phone support, WAF, and DDoS protection.

eCommerce Essentials - $14.99/mo for 100 sites, 100 GB storage, and WooCommerce tools.

• All three include a free first-year domain, SSL, CDN, weekly backups, a migration tool, and Yoast SEO. Renewals run roughly 2 to 2.5x higher, typical for shared hosting, and the per-plan visit limits give a clearer picture of capacity than the "unlimited" claims rivals use.
• A few caveats worth knowing before checkout:
• The free domain requires a 12- or 36-month term, and its cost is deducted from any refund.
• Professional Email is included as a one-month trial and auto-converts to paid unless you cancel.
• The 30-day money-back guarantee applies to card payments only.
• There's no month-to-month billing for shared plans; checkout defaults to a three-year term. (Monthly billing does exist for WordPress hosting.)

Bluehost Cloud: the flagship with the blank price tag

Bluehost Cloud is the premium managed WordPress platform. Cloud 10, 25, and 50 cost $65, $140, and $230/mo respectively on a 36-month commitment, with 20 to 150 vCPU threads, 125 to 225 GB NVMe, a 100% uptime SLA (5% monthly credit per 30 minutes of downtime), Cloudflare Enterprise CDN, and priority chat targeting sub-30-second responses.

The problem is the price tag: Bluehost asks for 36 months upfront but publishes no renewal rate, and its regular hosting already carries steep renewal increases, as covered in our full Bluehost review. Agency Hosting is essentially the same offering under another name, at the same SKUs, with larger $425/mo and $1,050/mo tiers.

VPS hosting plans

NVMe 2 costs $4.69/mo on a 24-month term and renews at $5.69, just a 21% increase and unusually mild for hosting. You also get root SSH access, AlmaLinux 9, a dedicated IP, and one-click setups for Docker, n8n, and OpenClaw.

That restraint stops at the entry tier. Higher plans follow the familiar pattern: NVMe 8 starts at $12.99/mo and renews at $28.99. You also pay extra for the essentials, with cPanel another $14.99/mo and priority support not included on self-managed plans.

If you'd rather have the panel and support included from day one with no renewal jump, our VPS plans bundle both, and our BearHost vs Bluehost comparison lines the specs up side by side.

Dedicated hosting plans

Bluehost's dedicated servers run from $144.19 to $315.19/mo initially and renew at $191.79 to $394.19. They offer 8 to 32 cores, 1 to 3 TB of NVMe, managed and phone support, and the 30-day guarantee. The "unmetered" bandwidth still carries a fair-use limit, and CDN costs extra at this level.

WooCommerce, the AI builder, and the SEO tools

WooCommerce plans repackage eCommerce Essentials at $14.99/mo (renewing $21.99), with a Premium tier at $21.99/mo (renewing $30.99) that bundles 16 paid plugins Bluehost values above $1,200/yr. The catch: that bundle covers a single site even though the plans advertise up to 100 stores, so additional stores mean additional purchases. Our WooCommerce hosting guide covers the wider field.

The AI Website Builder runs a 3-day trial, then $9.99/mo, renewing about 3.1x to $30.99, the steepest jump in the catalog; our website builder vs WordPress breakdown weighs that trade-off. Yoast SEO Premium is $2.99/mo standalone (renewing $8.33/mo), with a Yoast AI+ tier at $29.08/mo. If you're already hosting with Bluehost, the free bundled Yoast covers most sites.

Domains and email: read this before checkout

Bluehost gets expensive on domains. A .com is $12.99 the first year but renews at $23.99, higher than the renewals we found at GoDaddy (~$20.99) and Namecheap (~$18.48). Domain Privacy + Protection is another $11.99/yr after year one (free during year one on Business and eCommerce plans), which puts a Bluehost .com with privacy near $35.98/yr from year two, roughly twice a comparable Namecheap domain.

Professional Email, powered by Titan, starts around $1.67/user/mo on annual terms, and Google Workspace is available from about $3.50/user/mo. Neither showed a renewal rate during our checks, so treat those as introductory. And remember the email trial bundled with hosting auto-converts to paid unless you cancel it.

What the plans cost over 3 and 5 years

Projected totals using only Bluehost's own published renewal rates.

The long-term picture

VPS NVMe 2 works out to $317.40 over five years, one of Bluehost's better long-term deals. The AI Website Builder hits $1,103.40, nearly double the $587.40 five-year cost of Business hosting. Bluehost Cloud can't be projected at all, because its renewal rate isn't published. For context on where rivals land, see how Hostinger, Namecheap, and GoDaddy compare.
