Let Liquid Web buy out your Bluehost WordPress contract

Submit a form with your current host information.Our specialists will get in touch about your eligibility.Liquid Web buys out your contract so you can start your free migration.

“Unlimited” is not what you think it is

Let’s talk about what Bluehost means when they say bandwidth, storage, and sites are “unlimited.”

Imagine you open a shop in an area with “unlimited” free parking. A nearby shop has a sale. Parked cars clog the streets. Your potential customers are so frustrated they bounce.

If “unlimited” resources are costing you business, then they’re not “unlimited.” They’re just not guaranteed.

Unlike Bluehost, you can depend on Liquid Web resources. Built-in caching and autoscaling are like having a “private parking lot” for your customers, so you can deliver an A+ experience.

There’s no
pay-as-you-go

Bluehost requires you to pay your entire contract upfront. If you want to pay the lowest price possible, you have to pay for 3 years of hosting.

A lot can change in 3 years. Business turns on a dime.

With Liquid Web, flexibility is built-in. We don’t lock you into a multi-year contract. You can change or cancel your plan anytime. Check out our contract buyout program, powered by our Nexcess platform.

WordPress help shouldn’t cost more

With Bluehost, you have to pay more for expert support. And you can only reach them Monday through Friday.

At Liquid Web, you get 24/7/365 premium WordPress support by ticket and chat. Platform specialists are standing by to help you, even if it’s 4 AM on a Saturday.

Bluehost alternative FAQ

Because Liquid Web's cloud platform was built for WordPress and other open-source software, we're able to optimize WordPress performance to a degree that Bluehost can't. Their WordPress plans aren't specifically provisioned or optimized for WordPress sites. Liquid Web, on the other hand, provides higher-quality hosting that's built from the ground up for WordPress websites.

Bluehost infrastructure is PCI and GDPR compliant, but they do not list SSAE-18 or SOC compliance on their website. SSAE-18 and SOC are official security standards for data centers. Hosts like WP Engine only offer SOC compliance on enterprise-level plans. Liquid Web offers enterprise-grade security on every hosting plan, including Solid Security. Our global data centers are SSAE-18 compliant, SOC 3 approved, Level 1 PCI compliant, and GDPR compliant.

They are most known for their affordable general hosting. Bluehost offers WordPress hosting plans, but they don't specialize in WordPress hosting.

Bluehost seems inexpensive because they post monthly prices on their website. But if you buy the cheapest WordPress hosting from Bluehost, you'll pay hundreds of dollars to get started. The low monthly price is an estimate based on how much you pay for years of hosting upfront.

Nope, you have to install WordPress yourself in their cPanel dashboard. Liquid Web pre-installs the latest version of WordPress on every plan and makes it easy to find the plugins you need, so you can start your WordPress website right away.

If you prefer to have more control over your WordPress installation, Liquid Web offers WordPress VPS and WordPress dedicated hosting.

If you request your money back within 30 days, Bluehost will give you a partial refund on your purchase. They will keep a service fee as well as domain registration fees.

Bluehost breaks their hosting support into tiers. If you pay for the lowest level plan, you get the lowest level of support. If you pay more, the support gets a little better. It’s only when you’re paying at least $1,000+ upfront that you receive anything that compares to Liquid Web's 24/7/365 WordPress support.

We do. Chat with our experts now to learn about buying a domain at Liquid Web. Or search for available domains on our Nexcess platform.
