Blended from the published feature set and owner comments on everyday use. Not hands-on testing.

Uptime guarantee
2
The Bluehost VPS page advertises a 99.99% guarantee, but Bluehost terms exclude VPS from the uptime guarantee, so no credit applies.
Price transparency
10
Bluehost VPS NVMe 2 renews at $5.69 against $4.49, about 1.27 times the intro price.
Money-back terms
4
Bluehost VPS falls inside the 30-day guarantee, but only for card payments on non-monthly terms.
Published infrastructure
2
Bluehost VPS NVMe 2 lists NVMe storage; it is self-managed, with no CDN, caching, backups or named regions.
Support access
5
Bluehost lists 24/7 chat and phone, but its VPS page says priority support is not included on self-managed VPS.
