Best Free Web Hosting Services (2022) – Forbes Advisor

Bluehost is a popular website hosting service, especially among the WordPress crowd. It doesn’t offer a free plan, but its user-friendly WordPress management dashboard is a standout feature that’s well worth the cost. In it, you can monitor WordPress themes and plugins outside of the WordPress environment. If you encounter site errors due to theme or plugin conflicts and can’t log into WordPress, you can troubleshoot and recover your site quickly from the Bluehost dashboard.

You can install various website apps, such as Joomla and Drupal onto Bluehost, but it’s not as simple to manage as other services. WordPress seems to be the focus of Bluehost’s web hosting services and it truly excels here. Its Basic hosting plan supports one website, all others support unlimited websites. Bandwidth is unmetered, meaning you don’t pay based on traffic, but excessive traffic could force an upgrade to a higher plan, virtual private service (VPS) or dedicated servers.
