WordPress Partners With Bluehost Managed Cloud Hosting

Web building platform WordPress.com and hosting provider Bluehost announced a collaborative managed cloud hosting solution specifically designed for a seamless WordPress site performance.

The solution brings together the pivotal foundations of web hosting: speed, scale, and security. It’s exclusive to WordPress users and isn’t available through traditional shared, VPS, or dedicated hosting environments.

Built in partnership with WordPress creators, the new Bluehost Cloud platform promises “lightning-fast” page load times and 100% uptime for WordPress sites. Boasting a global server infrastructure, Bluehost Cloud is “expertly designed for high traffic and high-performance websites.”

Typical WordPress hosting options often charge extra for traffic spikes or don’t provide enough resources for scaling. The primary advantage of the new Bluehost Cloud over these options is its “scalable, multi-regional fault-tolerant infrastructure,” which allows for seamless scaling when your website’s traffic demands it.

While shared hosting is cheaper and works for small sites, Bluehost’s WordPress Cloud hosting is better suited for publishers and e-commerce stores that experience high traffic or traffic spikes, can’t tolerate downtime, and require more resources.

When it comes to the Bluehost Cloud versus VPS hosting, Bluehost’s managed plans offer automatic updates and security enhancements. While Dedicated Hosting offers dedicated resources on a single server to ensure high performance, security, and customization, it’s important to note that it also requires more technical knowledge to navigate than cloud hosting.

Specifically designed for WordPress sites, Bluehost Cloud brings together all of the managed WordPress optimizations into a single cloud-hosted platform. Aside from the built-in security and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection, the new cloud hosting infrastructure also includes a 100% network uptime guarantee and global Content Delivery Network (CDN) for optimal performance.

Regular prices for Bluehost Cloud start at $79.99/month and go up to $299/month, but at the moment, Bluehost offers early access discounts of up to 56% off.

Each plan differs in the amount of virtual centralized processing units (vCPUs) and allocated SSD storage space. Starting with 2 vCPUs and 10 GB of storage space, lower-tier plans are ideal for single and multiple site owners. Higher-tier plans offer more storage, resources, and management tools for professionals and agencies. All cloud plans come with 24/7 priority support, meaning users get direct access to seasoned technical agents.
