Bluehost
Web Hosting
WordPress-focused shared hosting sold on multi-year terms
Space on a server for your website, from a small WordPress blog to a busy shop.
These three suit different budgets more than they compete. DreamHost comes first because Launch is $2.49 a month for two years paid upfront, renews at $8.99, hosts up to 25 sites and can be paid monthly. ChemiCloud is second for one site with email included, if you prepay three years. Kinsta is third for a busy WordPress site or shop that has outgrown shared hosting. FastComet narrowly missed: it renews at $9.95 a month, but Starter hosts one site with 5 email accounts. Pressable costs less than Kinsta, but its first plan covers 30,000 visits a month.
From $7.99/mo
For: Most people hosting a small site or blog
DreamHost's Launch plan hosts up to 25 websites with daily backups, free SSL, unmetered bandwidth and a one-click WordPress installer, and its team builds one starter site for you. Two years cost $2.49 a month paid upfront, then $8.99 a month, or you can pay monthly: $4.99 for the first 3 months, then $11.99. Yearly and longer plans include a domain free for the first year. Know the limits: professional email is free for 3 months only and is then billed separately, and every low price covers the first term only.
DreamHost pricing and detailsFrom $11.95/mo
For: One site with email included, if you will prepay three years
ChemiCloud's Starter plan runs one site on LiteSpeed servers with NVMe storage, a Cloudflare CDN, daily offsite backups and unlimited email accounts at your domain, and its staff migrate sites and email for free. Three years cost $1.95 a month, paid upfront, with a free domain for the first year. It is second because the deal depends on that term: Starter then renews at $11.95 a month, a 1-year term goes from $3.49 to $14.95, monthly billing is $14.95 with no discount, and more than one site needs Pro.

For: A busy WordPress site or shop that has outgrown shared hosting
Kinsta is managed WordPress hosting: sites sit behind a Cloudflare firewall and CDN, with daily backups, one-click staging, free malware removal, free migrations and 24/7 chat support. Launch is $30 a month for one site and 75,000 visits, billed annually ($35 monthly), and the first month is free for new customers. It is third because it costs several times what shared hosting does: plans cap visits, bandwidth and storage with overage fees beyond them, each extra site is $30 a month, and hourly backups and Redis caching cost extra.
