Full Review
Bluehost remains a go-to choice for new site owners, especially WordPress users. With one-click installs and a clean interface, setup is fast and easy.
The inclusion of a free domain, SSL, and CDN at entry-level makes it ideal for beginners on a budget - PCMag.
Its uptime is reliably strong, and 24/7 support is helpful for troubleshooting - TechRadar.
However, expect higher renewal prices after the first term, and some power users may find the storage and flexibility lacking - Website Planet.
