As you can tell, Bluehost web hosting prices are incredibly low and affordable. These prices allow businesses and individuals compete on the web in competitive markets without having to pay large amounts for hosting, one of the most important costs you will need to pay.
Most People Prefer 12 Month Accounts
Recent surveys have shown that Bluehost customers prefer purchasing their web hosting accounts on a yearly basis as opposed to every 3 or 6 months, and even opposed to 24 months or 2 years. This is most likely because 3 and 6 months is too short of a time period between having to renew the account and 24 months is too much to pay all at once. By setting up your account to renew every 12 months you don't have to worry about your account expiring for another year, and you are still only paying $95.40 for that entire years time.
It's also important to note that the longer the plan you purchase, the cheaper your monthly rate is. Another reason why people choose a year over 3 and 6 months because they pay only $7.95/month rather than $9-$10 per month.
