Where it sits in the shortlist quiz

The $15.99 quoted here is the RENEWAL; the $3.99 advertised is introductory and needs a year paid up front. It is a Newfold Digital host that sells the builder as part of a hosting plan rather than as the product. It is bought for a first WordPress site with the domain bundled in.

Every published plan

Read off Bluehost’s own pricing page, last checked 22 Oct 2026.

Three plans on the cards: Starter, Business and eCommerce Essentials (the older Basic, Choice Plus, Online Store and Pro names are gone from the cards, though Pro, Premium, Enhanced and Elite still appear in the renewal list and the page's structured data). The headline price is a 36-month prepaid intro; monthly_usd is the month-to-month price, annual_monthly_usd the 12-month term and renewal_36mo_usd what the 36-month term renews at, all from the renewal price list. The free first-year domain needs a 12- or 36-month term. 30-day money-back on hosting, with the domain fee deducted. The pricing page says eCommerce Essentials is about 200,000 visits where the two hosting pages say 400,000; 400,000 is recorded.

Contract

Who it suits

Built for: A first WordPress site on a small budget, with the domain, SEO plugin and AI setup bundled, as long as you will prepay three years.

Weak at: The headline price needs 36 months paid up front and renews at $9.99 (or $15.99 month to month), and Bluehost's renewal list carries eight plan names where the page shows three.
