Bluehost, one of the leading web hosting providers, has announced Bluehost Cloud, an innovative cloud-based hosting solution specifically designed for WordPress users. It is built on WP Cloud infrastructure, in collaboration with WordPress.com, to provide robust support for websites with high traffic and demanding performance requirements. Bluehost is one of the three WordPress.org recommended hosting providers.
Bluehost Cloud promises managed WordPress hosting with 100% network uptime, faster page load time, and better performance. It targets professionals and agencies and can handle any traffic spikes without charging customers extra for such spikes.
“In the realm of website creation, every pixel counts, every second matters, and every client’s satisfaction is paramount. With the launch of Bluehost Cloud, a collaborative effort between industry titans Bluehost and Automattic, we’re ushering in a new era of confidence for website professionals, agencies and freelancers. From a 100% uptime SLA to lightning-fast page load speeds, Bluehost Cloud is backed by our unparalleled WordPress expertise and expertly designed for high traffic and high-performance websites,” said Satish Hemachandran, SVP of Hosting at Newfold Digital, parent company of Bluehost. “Bluehost Cloud marks an exciting expansion into the agency market, complementing our long-time commitment to serving small businesses around the world, and it sets the new standard for WordPress speed, reliability, scalability and support,” he said.
Bluehost Cloud uses WP Cloud infrastructure, “the only cloud platform built from the ground up just for WordPress.” WP Cloud ensures robust security with real-time backups, anti-spam measures, and malware scanning. With features like a built-in CDN, 28 global data centers and automated WordPress edge caching, it guarantees incredible website speed.
We built WP Cloud so every hosting company can provide the safest and fastest WordPress experience available.

Honestly, this feels like an advertisement, rather than news. It’s not the kind of stuff I follow the Tavern for, and hope that there isn’t more of this type of story planned for the future.
