About Bluehost
Bluehost Inc. was launched by Matt Heaton in Provo, Utah, in 2003 and is now headquartered in Jacksonville, United States. The company says it grew from a hosting startup into a web-hosting and WordPress-focused platform. WordPress.org recommended Bluehost in 2005. Bluehost joined Endurance International Group in 2010; its company history says the 2021 Newfold Digital merger expanded its resources. Newfold Digital, LLC is its parent company.
Bluehost is best known for web hosting, particularly WordPress hosting, alongside domains and related website services.
