Why is SetraHost the best Bluehost alternative?
FRACTION OF THE COST Bluehost starts you off affordable, but at renewal, they increase it by 4X the initial cost. On top of this, they charge even more if you'd like features such as malware protection, daily backups and domain privacy. If you do not purchase SiteLock (Bluehost's malware solution) with their plans and your website is hit with malware, your website will be shut down and you have to pay extra to clean each website you have and bring your website(s) back. This once "affordable" solution can become costly, very quickly. With SetraHost, we're still affordable at renewal and we provide full malware scaning/cleaning for free with all of our web hosting plans as well as daily backups, SSL and domain privacy. Say goodbye to extreme price hikes and hello to no extra fees!
Spend $600 on @bluehost @bluehostsupport because they recommended @SiteLock. Well site lock broke the site....So if you haven't seen the @ROTCRadio on Spotify you can blame them. It's cool to get hung up on by supervisors.

My website is being held hostage by #Bluehost. “Malware found” even after I spent >$300 on #Sitelock, (and they are saying it’s all good). I never had issues before switching to this company. Is it extortion to get me to buy more “protection” or are they just woefully unsecure?

So...Paid @SiteLock over $800 for security protection, and my website has been down more times than it's up! @bluehost is my webhosting company. Anyone else have problems with either of these companies?

FASTER HOSTING EXPERIENCE We do not oversell our servers and use a combination of LiteSpeed Web Server + NVMe SSD Storage which increases your websites loading speed tremendously. We've seen an up to 50% increase in loading speeds with the migrations we've done from Bluehost to our servers.
UNLIMITED WEBSITES Bluehost removed their feature of having unlimited websites and now only allows up to 3 websites. This change even affected customers that signed up with unlimited domains. SetraHost still has plans that allow unlimited websites and if we were to ever change this, your plan will remain the same.
24/7 SUPPORT THAT IS LOOKING TO HELP, NOT UPSELL Often when contacting Bluehost support, you're not hit with a solution and rather told to upgrade your plan, add extra features or pay for a fix. With SetraHost, we include everything in your plan so no extra addon fees need to be purchased. Our web hosting solutions are completely managed and our support team is here to help with any issues you're experiencing, not upsell you.
FREE SAME DAY MIGRATIONS Bluehost charges $149.99 to migrate up to 5 websites and up to 20 email accounts from your previous hosting provider. SetraHost provides free same day migrations for all websites and email accounts, making your move to SetraHost easy and stress-free.

Really pleased with the results
Before switching to SetraHost, I was with Bluehost for a number of years and that was a hot mess! I made the switch to SetraHost almost a year ago and support has been fantastic! The migration of my website was extremely smooth and I faced minimal downtime, barely any! If there are any issues, SetraHost support posts regularly to keep their customers informed. Honest communication--that makes all the difference. Plus, their rates are extremely fair. Can't thank them enough!
Why I Chose SetraHost
Setrahost has been so amazing, and it's been a breath of fresh air. I was with Bluehost for years and only had problem after problem with them. All of my websites were hacked and they tried made me pay a massive amount of money to clean everything. Setrahost did it all for free, and have been so good to work with since. They are happy help whenever I need it and always go the extra mile. I actually can't recommend them enough and always get my clients to use their services. Thanks for everything!
Setrahost has been so amazing
Setra Host is SO helpful! I had Bluehost, and during my last stint with them I had many issues and had to contact their support 5 times and didn't get any help from them. My site would crash for days with no avail. The last person I talked to on Bluehost even said that my site had some serious issues they couldn't solve (and it took them 30 minutes), and that they had to take my request to a higher up case. So after my complaining about them on Twitter/X, Setra Host found me, swooped me in and saved my site! They were incredibly helpful, kind, and responsive, and they said that there were no "issues" that Bluehost spoke of. They were able to migrate my site within a few hours, and now it's faster than ever! Whenever I see someone complain about Bluehost, I immediately tell them to move over to Setra Host instead! I can't recommend them enough!!!
My only regret was not migrating sooner
I've only been with them a few weeks, but so far they've exceeded expectations in every way.
I switched after they reached out to me on Twitter in response to an angry Tweet about yet another BlueHost outage. The prices seemed great and I liked everything I read, but I had some concerns about the migration process. Namely, how long it would take and if my site would go offline during the process.
SetraHost was super patient, answered all my questions, and didn't pressure me into anything. When I decided to make the move it was after 10 p.m. but they were able to migrate my site within an hour the same night! Not only that but they communicated with me via Twitter DM throughout the entire process to let me know what was going on.
It was seamless. My site never went down and hasn't since, fingers crossed. It's also faster than it was with BlueHost, and I'm paying half as much.
Two big thumbs up from this new customer.
Very Happy New Customer

Have some questions?
When deciding what to do with my Google blogs, the statistics my server monitoring software was showing me that Main website on SetraHost was doing much better in comparison. I took all my blogger domains and transferred them over to self hosting on SetraHost. It was not easy, some of the domains were more complicated to migrate over. Any time I reached out to SetraHost on the chat, a real person would respond back and help me walk through the situation. It was several times, I just didn't understand exactly how to do it. SetraHost has an extensive knowledgebase. I would read through and note the screenshot photos. Big help, then when I needed extra help, I would get over to the chatbot. Without fail, someone always helped. Now we have 9 beautiful websites all with email and WordPress. I'm grateful to them for the patience to work through everything. I even purchased one of my last domains with them. Everything now just seamlessly works together. Really pleased with the results.
