Same numbers we'd want if we were choosing. Prices verified from public pricing pages.
SrvBot vs Bluehost
| Feature | SrvBot | Bluehost |
|---|---|---|
| Renewal price honesty | Flat rate — the price you sign up at is the price you renew at, forever | Intro price rises sharply at renewal (e.g. Starter: $3.99 → $11.99/mo) |
| Migration | Done for you, free — we handle the whole move | One free WordPress site migration within first 30 days of sign-up |
| Human support on every plan | Real humans over chat and email, every day | Chat and phone support on all plans; support quality varies by load |
| Daily backups with restore-drill | Daily backups + a tested restore-drill so you know recovery actually works | Daily backups included; automated restore available but no published drill process |
| Public live status page | status.srvbot.io — real uptime and response times | Public status page at bluehost.com/status showing per-service operational status and incident history |
| Global data-center choice | Single region (US); right-sized for small business | Stronger here: 10+ data center locations across 5 continents (Oracle Cloud infrastructure) — choose your region at sign-up |
| CDN included | CDN included on all plans | Cloudflare CDN included |
| WordPress-focused hosting | WordPress-only managed hosting — no distractions | WordPress-optimised shared hosting with AI site builder; also sells many non-WordPress products |
| Price transparency | Single published price — no intro/renewal split, no hidden renewal shock | Prominently advertises intro price; renewal rate published but requires reading the fine print |

Common questions
Yes — we do the whole migration for you, free of charge. Tell us your Bluehost credentials and we take it from there, including DNS cut-over and a post-move check.
SrvBot charges a single flat rate — the $19/mo founding price (or the regular $29/mo) stays the same every renewal. Bluehost's Starter plan starts at $3.99/mo but rises to $11.99/mo from year 2 onward, more than tripling.
With SrvBot you reach real humans over chat and email, every day. There's no phone tree or ticket queue that routes you to a bot first.
Yes. SrvBot runs daily backups and, unlike most hosts, we run a periodic restore-drill to confirm your backup actually restores — not just that the files exist.
