In contrast, Bluehost only offers it on their third tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, if you read the fine print, Bluehost does back up your site from time to time as mentioned in section 27.1 of their user agreement. However, this isn&rsquo;t an advertised feature because as they plainly state, it&rsquo;s <em>for [their] own operational efficiencies and purposes<\/em>. Furthermore, they reserve <em>the right to charge a restoration fee if you request copies of the backups<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backups notwithstanding, <strong>Bluehost still has a slight overall edge <\/strong>when we take everything above into account. They give you a free SSL, free CDN, and a WordPress staging site &ndash; none of which you get with GoDaddy&rsquo;s entry-level shared plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there&rsquo;s still more to the story so keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"performance\">Performance comparison &#127950;&#65039; <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/website-speed-optimization\/\">speed of your website<\/a> is a key factor in its success. Slow loading times will affect <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-ux\/\">user experience<\/a> and consequently increase <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/reduce-wordpress-bounce-rate\/\">bounce rates<\/a>, lower returning visitor numbers, and impact on your site&rsquo;s conversions. Therefore, it&rsquo;s crucial to choose a host that will help your pages load quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucky for you, we have hosting accounts with both Bluehost and GoDaddy and we run monthly performance tests on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure the testing is fair, we set up two identical WordPress websites with some dummy content. We then use the <a aria-label=\"Pingdom (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/tools.pingdom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pingdom<\/a> speed test tool to record page speed from different locations across the globe. Finally, we update the results you see below after each monthly test. So if you come back to this article a month from now, the data you see below will be different (assuming that no freak coincidences occur).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-responsive su-table-alternate\"><table width=\"100%\"><caption>Bluehost loading times &#128259;<\/caption><tbody><tr><td width=\"50%\" style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\">East Coast USA: <strong>0.66s<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><td width=\"50%\" style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\">West Coast USA: <strong>0.36s<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"50%\" style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\">Central USA: <strong>0.45s<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><td width=\"50%\" style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\">London, UK: <strong>0.76s<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"50%\" style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\">Paris, France: <strong>0.50s<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><td width=\"50%\" style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\">Mumbai, India: <strong>0.27s<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-responsive su-table-alternate\"><table width=\"100%\"><caption>GoDaddy loading times &#128259;<\/caption><tbody><tr><td width=\"50%\" style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\">East Coast USA: <strong>0.63s<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><td width=\"50%\" style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\">West Coast USA: <strong>0.45s<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"50%\" style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\">Central USA: <strong>0.66s<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><td width=\"50%\" style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\">London, UK: <strong>0.46s<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"50%\" style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\">Paris, France: <strong>0.51s<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><td width=\"50%\" style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\">Mumbai, India: <strong>0.70s<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, both hosts tend to do well on these tests so on any given month you might see one beat out the other by a marginal amount. Then the following month it could very well switch directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to page load speed, we also monitor the companies&rsquo; uptime. This is crucial &ndash; especially for websites that receive moderate to high traffic. As a rule of thumb, you don&rsquo;t want to see anything lower than 99%. Below you can see the last three months of uptime data for both Bluehost and GoDaddy:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-responsive su-table-alternate\"><table width=\"100%\"><caption>Bluehost uptime &#128246;<\/caption><thead><tr><th width=\"33%\">January 2026<\/th><th width=\"34%\">February 2026<\/th><th width=\"33%\">March 2026<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\"><strong>100.00%<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><td style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\"><strong>100.00%<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><td style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\"><strong>100.00%<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p class=\"small-font-KK\" style=\"text-align: center;margin-bottom: 0;margin-top: 10px\">See the <a href=\"https:\/\/hosting-status.themeisle.com\/780143876\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">live status page<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hosting-status.themeisle.com\/780143876\/calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">historical data<\/a> for Bluehost.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-responsive su-table-alternate\"><table width=\"100%\"><caption>GoDaddy uptime &#128246;<\/caption><thead><tr><th width=\"33%\">January 2026<\/th><th width=\"34%\">February 2026<\/th><th width=\"33%\">March 2026<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\"><strong>100.00%<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><td style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\"><strong>99.99%<\/strong> <\/td><td style=\"background-color: #b3c2ec !important\"><strong>100.00%<\/strong> &#11088;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p class=\"small-font-KK\" style=\"text-align: center;margin-bottom: 0;margin-top: 10px\">See the <a href=\"https:\/\/hosting-status.themeisle.com\/780138220\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">live status page<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hosting-status.themeisle.com\/780138220\/calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">historical data<\/a> for GoDaddy.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to load times, both Bluehost and GoDaddy tend to have stellar uptime.

The one exception is Bluehost&rsquo;s entry-level plan, which only provides 24\/7 chat support (no phone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the support quality, from personal experience with the chat support of both companies and on multiple occasions, we&rsquo;d have to say that Bluehost has an edge. Their support reps tend to be more helpful and knowledgeable than GoDaddy&rsquo;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though take this with a grain of salt. In the grand scheme of things, my personal experience is still a relatively tiny sample size when you take into consideration how many users both companies interact with on a daily basis. It&rsquo;s possible that you might chat with GoDaddy support and have an excellent experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, all things considered and based on my experience, <strong>I tip my hat in favor of Bluehost here<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"pricing\">Pricing comparison &#128176;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to pricing, Bluehost appears to have an edge over GoDaddy with its cheaper plans &ndash; at least in the first few years. After that, things begin to even out on the entry-level plan. In the higher plans, GoDaddy even overtakes Bluehost as the lower priced option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason for this is that both hosts change their prices after the initial contract period is up. The key difference is that <strong>Bluehost&rsquo;s cheapest per-month rate<\/strong> is offered on a <strong>one-year contract<\/strong>, whereas <strong>GoDaddy&rsquo;s cheapest rate<\/strong> is provided if you sign up for a <strong>three-year contract<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s examine how these factors play out for each set of shared hosting plans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#tier-one-bluehost-s-basic-plan-vs-godaddy-s-web-hosting-economy-plan\">First tier plans<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#tier-two-bluehost-s-choice-plus-plan-vs-godaddy-s-web-hosting-deluxe-plan\">Second tier plans<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#tier-three-bluehost-s-online-store-plan-vs-godaddy-s-web-hosting-ultimate-plan\">Third tier plans<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#tier-four-bluehost-s-pro-plan-vs-godaddy-s-web-hosting-maximum-plan\">Fourth tier plans<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"tier-one-bluehost-s-basic-plan-vs-godaddy-s-web-hosting-economy-plan\">Tier one: Bluehost&rsquo;s Basic plan vs GoDaddy&rsquo;s Web Hosting Economy plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, the lowest sticker price with Bluehost is on the one-year plan. But assuming that you wanted hosting for more than just a year, <strong>is that one-year contract the best deal?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is&hellip;no. &#128078;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three-year contract is actually the better deal &ndash; and it&rsquo;s also a better deal than GoDaddy&rsquo;s three-year contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let&rsquo;s do the math<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three-year plan with Bluehost costs $178.20, which comes out to $4.95 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were to sign up for the one-year contract instead and renew it three times, you&rsquo;d wind up paying between $263.64 and $311.64 (assuming no rate changes). That&rsquo;s between $85.44 and $133.44 more over the course of three years. &#128161; The reason for the range is due to a marketing trick that Bluehost uses on their renewal rates (we&rsquo;ll explain it in just a bit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when we compare the $4.95 per month on the three-year plan to GoDaddy&rsquo;s $5.99 per month on their three-year plan, you&rsquo;re saving $1.04 per month with Bluehost. That adds up to $37.44 over the life of the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So no matter how you slice it, the <strong>Bluehost three-year contract is going to save you the most money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But, there&rsquo;s another plot twist here<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the three years are up, the <strong>renewal price for another three years is identical<\/strong> with both Bluehost and GoDaddy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full blog-img-std\"><img data-opt-id=2105346586  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1778\" height=\"808\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp\" alt=\"Showing that the renewal rate on a three-year contract with both Bluehost and GoDaddy is the same.\" class=\"wp-image-108047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1778\/h:808\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 1778w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:300\/h:136\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 300w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1024\/h:465\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 1024w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:768\/h:349\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 768w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1536\/h:698\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 1536w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:50\/h:23\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 50w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:480\/h:218\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 480w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:794\/h:361\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 794w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1200\/h:545\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 1200w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:296\/h:135\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 296w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:390\/h:177\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 390w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:270\/h:123\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 270w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1778\/h:808\/q:mauto\/f:best\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Renewal-rate-on-a-three-year-contract-with-both-Bluehost-and-GoDaddy.webp 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, the long game looks different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fcfcfc\">&#128161;

which is coincidentally (or probably not) the same as GoDaddy&rsquo;s renewal rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Confusing, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what Bluehost does, is that they (sometimes) give you that renewal rate on your first renewal. This allows them to advertise it that way. But <strong>all subsequent renewals after that initial renewal default to the true renewal rate<\/strong>, which is the one I showed you in the comparison table above (and which is published in their knowledge base). I also know this from firsthand experience because if you recall from the earlier performance section, we (Themeisle) have accounts with both Bluehost and GoDaddy so I know how much they charge.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-fancy su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span><strong>Side-by-side of the two plans;

Given that most of their features are similar, it wouldn&rsquo;t be a drastic jump from one to the other. Plus you&rsquo;d actually benefit from the GoDaddy promo rates too (once you transferred over).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a final note, it&rsquo;s worth mentioning that Bluehost and GoDaddy aren&rsquo;t the only hosting providers out there. If you still aren&rsquo;t sold on either of them, you can check out <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/cheap-web-hosting\/\">our collection of cheap web hosting<\/a> to find other options within their price range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And once you&rsquo;ve decided on a host, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-website\/\">follow our tutorial on how to create a website<\/a> to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Any questions on the services that either Bluehost or GoDaddy provide?
