Is Bluehost Down?
When we last reached Bluehost directly, it answered and refused us — origin returns HTTP 403 bot challenge. An answer is proof the origin was serving traffic, but it measures our access, not the service, so we publish no percentage.

Why there is no uptime figure on this page
The last time we fetched Bluehost's page directly, the origin answered and turned our client away rather than serving the page. That answer tells us the origin was reachable and responding, but it is a response about our automation, not about whether Bluehost works for you.
A percentage built from those checks would measure our own access, so we do not publish one. What this page does show is each region's most recent result and Bluehost's own status feed, which you can weigh yourself.

Reachability by region
Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Bluehost does
Bluehost is one of the largest web hosting providers, officially recommended by WordPress.org. It provides shared hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, and managed WordPress hosting for millions of websites. Bluehost is owned by Newfold Digital and is a popular choice for small businesses, bloggers, and WordPress sites.
What an outage looks like
When Bluehost is down, all websites hosted on affected servers return connection errors or timeout pages. Email hosted through Bluehost stops sending and receiving. The Bluehost control panel (cPanel) becomes inaccessible, preventing site management. DNS resolution for domains using Bluehost nameservers may fail.
What to do about it
Check Bluehost's official status page or contact their 24/7 support via phone at 1-888-401-4678. If your website is down, check if the issue is with your specific server or a platform-wide outage. For critical sites, consider having a CDN like Cloudflare in front of your Bluehost site, which can serve cached pages during hosting outages.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?
If this page says Bluehost is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

How we measure this
- We request Bluehost's public endpoint every 30 minutes from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 17 of them.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Bluehost publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it — and when Bluehost blocks our checks entirely, we report the vendor's own status directly.
