Both providers are super dependable with a 99.9 percent uptime guarantee. Perfect uptime is not possible, but users of either one of these services will never have to worry about their website going down for any long length of time.

For WordPress users, Bluehost is a no-brainer. WordPress only recommends three hosting providers: DreamHost, SiteGround and Bluehost. Every WordPress website that Bluehost supports receives automatic updates and 24/7 WordPress-specialized expert support. Bluehost has a WordPress-centric dashboard, free WordPress site migration and a WordPress staging environment. For online stores, WooCommerce is an open-source e-commerce plugin for WordPress. Bluehost’s WooCommerce plans include a one-click integration for payment processing tools and compatible online store themes.

While it is not specifically recommended by WordPress, GoDaddy also supports WordPress sites and has access to more than 58,000 WordPress extensions, plugins and design themes. GoDaddy outshines Bluehost with its suite of business features included in the GoDaddy Studio. The studio is a content creation tool that allows users to create professional-looking branded content for their website, social media, landing pages and marketing materials. Users can create business logos, create brand-boosting images for social media, customizing Link in Bio templates for social media, marketing templates for website pages and more.

Bluehost and GoDaddy are both established and reliable hosting platforms, so choosing the best one for you comes down to minor details. If you are building a website on WordPress or already have a WordPress website you want new hosting for, Bluehost is your best bet. Its seamless integration with WordPress allows for an easy and quick installation process. GoDaddy, on the other hand, is slightly easier to use, making it a better option for those who are not as tech-savvy. Both offer a 30-day free trial so you can test them before you commit to a long-term contract.
