Bluehost Black Friday 2026: the site-wide sale, the holiday code and what each plan renews at

See Bluehost's sale ↗

The Business plan card shows "Holiday Sale: Extra 50% Off" with a copy button for BUSINESSHOSTING2026. In my cart, without entering any code, Business was already $6.39/mo for 1 year ($76.70) and $6.99/mo for 3 years ($251.64), the same or lower than the plan card. So the sale price appears to be built in. Try the code in the "Add Promo Code" field and keep whichever total is lower; the Buy More, Save More terms say offers can't be combined.

I built carts for Starter, Business and eCommerce Essentials on November 11, 2026. Bluehost has the best checkout I've seen from a big host: the page loads fast, and you can switch between monthly, 1-year, 3-year and 4-year billing inside the cart, with each option's price, total and saving side by side. Most hosts make you go back to the plans page to change the term.

Cart prices before tax, Madrid data center pre-selected, no promo code entered. The Business 1-year price in the cart ($6.39) was lower than on the plan card ($6.79). The 4-year term costs the same per month as 3 years, so it only makes sense if you're sure.

What to change before you pay:

1. Remove the Professional Email Trial. It's pre-added: free for a month, then $2.99/mo.
2. Untick "YES, I want special offers". The marketing email box is ticked by default.
3. Pay by card if you want the refund window. Checkout accepts PayPal, Google Pay and Apple Pay, but Bluehost's Terms say the money-back guarantee is valid for credit card payments only.
4. Skip monthly billing unless you're testing: Starter costs $15.99 a month on monthly, against $3.99-4.24 on a term, and monthly terms aren't refundable.
5. Add-ons are unticked, which is better than most hosts: Website Security $5.99/mo, SEO tool $2.99/mo, daily backups $2.99/mo (billed yearly). HostGator's daily backup add-on is $1.99/mo.

The "Buy more, save more" box only applies to 1-year terms; with a 3-year plan in the cart it says "No extra savings yet".

Bluehost's "Buy More, Save More" terms: valid October 1 to November 30, 2026, 11:59 p.m. ET, for new purchases of AI All-Access, AI Builder, AI Store, AI Receptionist, shared and advanced hosting (VPS "if confirmed"). It takes 15% off one eligible product, 20% off two, or 25% off three or more in the same order. It applies to the first 12-month term only, billed upfront, renews at the regular rate, and cannot be combined with other offers, so it may not stack with the BUSINESSHOSTING2026 code.

Same names, same specs, same parent company. Bluehost from its VPS page; HostGator from its "See All Plans" VPS tab; both November 11, 2026. Neither includes cPanel or 24/7 priority support on VPS.

All include 3 dedicated IPs, cPanel, full root access and unmetered bandwidth. The 12-month intro price is lower than the 36-month one on every server.

• One or two small sites: Starter on 36 months ($143.64), renewing at $9.99/mo. Accept that phone support and malware removal aren't included.
• Several sites or a business site: Business on 36 months ($251.64): 50 sites, phone support, malware removal, renewing at $13.99/mo.
• A store: eCommerce Essentials on 36 months ($539.64), with daily backups.
• Just testing Bluehost: any plan on 12 months, and decide before it renews.

1. Pay by credit card: Bluehost's money-back guarantee doesn't cover other payment methods.
2. Avoid monthly terms if you want the refund window.
3. Note that a free domain's registration fee is deducted if you get a refund.
4. Put a reminder 20 days before renewal: auto-renewal must be turned off at least 16 days before the term ends.
5. The Pro Email trial is free for one month; cancel it if you won't use it.

I ran a trial site on Bluehost around 2017, but I no longer have screenshots from it, and a lot has changed since. Everything current here comes from Bluehost's plan pages and checkout on November 11, 2026, during its site-wide sale, and its Terms of Service (last modified August 21, 2026).
