Bluehost Enhances Global Hosting Services with Oracle Cloud for SMBs

In a landmark announcement, Bluehost Group, known as a reliable partner for countless entrepreneurs and small businesses, has integrated Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) into its web-hosting platform. This move marks a significant improvement in the service's performance, scalability, and reliability for small business customers globally, solidifying Bluehost’s position as a leader in small business web-hosting solutions.

What Does OCI Offer Bluehost Customers?

The transition to OCI brings forth numerous advantages. The integration allows Bluehost to provide up to five times faster response times, along with an ability to better handle the vast resources needed by millions of small business owners, independent software vendors (ISVs), and managed service providers (MSPs). The impressive speed enhancements have already been witnessed by nearly one million Bluehost users who have successfully migrated to OCI, achieving an increase of 4-5 times in their median response times while still enjoying Bluehost's trademark simplicity and security.

Sachin Puri, the CEO of Bluehost Group, emphasized the importance of balancing affordability with high performance in hosting services. He stated, “Small businesses shouldn't have to choose between price, performance, security, or support. With OCI, we can deliver enterprise-level speed and reliability without compromising on costs.”

Expanding Bluehost’s Offerings

With the migration expected to complete by 2026, Bluehost is set to unlock unprecedented performance levels and scalability at very competitive pricing for small businesses. This initiative aligns with Bluehost’s commitment to supporting entrepreneurs in their online endeavors without sacrificing simplicity or affordability.

Moreover, the use of OCI is poised to extend Bluehost’s capabilities to ISVs and MSPs looking to build cloud-native applications, thus expanding its customer base significantly. Chris Gandolfo, Executive Vice President of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, remarked, “By choosing OCI, Bluehost is bringing enterprise-grade performance to millions at a fraction of the cost.”

Commitment to Sustainable Growth

In addition to performance benefits, moving to OCI reflects Bluehost's dedication to sustainability. The switch not only provides enhanced uptime but also pledges to reduce carbon emissions accompanying its operations. This commitment to sustainable growth furthers Bluehost's mission of creating a more environmentally friendly infrastructure for hosting services.

Unmatched Infrastructure Performance

OCI boasts ultra-low latency and a cost reduction of up to 30% in cost-per-customer for equivalent performance. Thanks to OCI's extensive regional footprint, Bluehost can enter new markets quickly, launching services in weeks instead of months. With a focus on security and compliance featuring embedded data protection and adherence to privacy standards such as PCI and GDPR, customers can feel confident in their online operations.

The transition to OCI will also enable Bluehost to continuously integrate AI enhancements across its SaaS offerings. Future capabilities may include intelligent site optimization, predictive analytics, and tailored digital experiences catered to small businesses actively seeking growth.

Anuj Saxena, CTO of Newfold Digital, highlighted that modernizing their infrastructure with OCI has dramatically bolstered their performance globally. With Oracle’s support, Bluehost aims to ensure that customers experience tangible benefits that positively affect their online presence.

Conclusion: A Digital Future for Small Businesses

In conclusion, Bluehost is not just enhancing its services; it's laying down the foundation for a new digital economy where small enterprises operate with the same capability and simplicity enjoyed by larger businesses.
