About Bluehost
Bluehost is officially recommended by WordPress.org and it shows β one-click WordPress setup, a guided onboarding and a free domain for the first year make it the softest landing for first-time site owners. Performance and support are middle-of-the-pack, but the beginner experience is hard to beat.
The best on-ramp for someone building their first WordPress site who wants hand-holding. The official WordPress recommendation and free first-year domain make it low-risk to start.
