Do it yourself

Cancel Bluehost yourself

TLDR: Log in, open Billing, then the Renewal Center, and turn Auto-Renew off at least 16 days before the hosting term ends. The site stays up until the paid term ends, and renewals after that are not refunded.

Turn off auto-renew

You can still sign in. These steps cover a renewing Bluehost hosting plan. A domain name is separate.

  1. 01Log in to your Bluehost Portal.
  2. 02In the left-hand menu, click Billing.
  3. 03Select the hosting plan in the Renewal Center.
  4. 04Under Auto-Renew, turn the toggle off.
  5. 05In the pop-up, click Continue.

Bluehost does not email you when auto-renew is turned off. Open the Renewal Center again and check that the toggle is off. The hosting stays up until the end of the paid term, then it expires.

Cancel by phone

You want support to cancel the hosting, or you are inside the 30-day money-back window.

  1. 01Call 888-401-4678. Phone support is open 7 days a week from 7 am-12 midnight EST.
  2. 02Have your domain name or user id, and your validation PIN. For a refund under the money-back guarantee, also have your token, and check that the email in your profile is current.
  3. 03Ask them to cancel the hosting plan. Bluehost verifies that you own the account.
  4. 04If you are inside the money-back window, ask for the refund on the same call.

Cancel by chat

You would rather type than call. Chat is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  1. 01Sign in at bluehost.com/my-account.
  2. 02Click the Help or chat icon in the lower-right corner.
  3. 03Choose Billing, or the topic that matches the hosting plan.
  4. 04Ask the agent to cancel the hosting plan, and ask them to confirm it.

You can also start from the chat bubble at the bottom right of Bluehost's site. The terms say you end a plan by phone or online chat.

How to know it worked

  • Turning off auto-renew does not send a confirmation email. The Renewal Center toggle, set to off, is what you check.
  • The hosting keeps working until the end of the current paid term. It then expires on its own.
  • A phone or chat cancellation depends on Bluehost verifying the account. Ask them to confirm it before you hang up.

Watch out for

  • Turn auto-renew off at least 16 calendar days before the term ends, or the card on file is charged. Plans of 3 months or longer are billed 15 days before the term ends. A one-month plan is billed 24 hours before it expires, with no earlier notice.
  • Cancelling hosting does not cancel a domain. Turn the domain's auto-renew off on its own, before Bluehost renews it 15 days ahead of the domain's renewal date.
  • If auto-renew is still on at the renewal date, Bluehost can still charge you.
  • When the hosting ends, the website, email, and files can be deleted. Back up the site and the database first.
  • The money-back guarantee does not cover Bluehost Cloud hosting, a monthly term, domain fees, setup fees, or add-ons.

Bluehost refunds

  • Shared, VPS, and Dedicated hosting fees have a 30-day money-back guarantee for new signups. Cloud hosting, monthly terms, domain registration, setup fees, AI products, and add-on fees are outside it.
  • Bluehost's refund table says that between 3 and 30 days you may request a refund on certain hosting for new signups only. Domain registration fees are not refunded.
  • After 30 days, renewals are not refundable and are not prorated, except inside the 15-day prebill window.
  • If you qualify, Bluehost deducts a fee for the domain and any taxes. Allow 5 to 7 business days for the refund to show at your bank. Ask for it in the same call or chat. Turning off auto-renew does not request a refund.

If it did not work

No confirmation email? Then it didn't happen.

Our letter comes with a receipt. This is when it is worth having us do it.

Have us cancel Bluehost

  • You cannot log in, or do not remember the email

    The notice goes to Bluehost Inc. in your name and address. No login, no password.

  • You turned off auto-renew, but no email came

    Bluehost does not send one. The notice is a dated record that you cancelled, which the missing email is not.

  • You were charged after cancelling

    The dated notice and proof of delivery are what your bank asks for when you dispute the charge.

  • You are still inside the 30-day money-back window

    The notice puts the cancellation date in writing, which is what a refund request inside that window needs.

  • You would rather not chase support

    We post and email the notice, then follow up with Bluehost until they confirm. If they never do, you get your money back.

Cancelling Bluehost

What people ask about Bluehost.

Which Bluehost product do these steps cover?

A renewing Bluehost hosting plan. You turn that plan off in the Renewal Center, or you ask phone or chat to cancel it. Shared, VPS, and Dedicated hosting are the plans in the 30-day money-back guarantee. A domain name keeps renewing until you turn its own auto-renew off.

I turned off auto-renew and Bluehost still charged me. What now?

Check the Renewal Center. Bluehost does not email you when auto-renew is turned off, and a domain renews separately from hosting. If the hosting toggle was still on, or you opted out fewer than 16 days before the term ended, the terms allow the charge. Then call 888-401-4678.

Does cancelling Bluehost hosting take my website down immediately?

Not if you only turn off auto-renew. The plan stays active until the paid term ends, then it expires and the files can be deleted. Back up first. A cancellation through support is verified by Bluehost before it goes through.

Can I get a refund from Bluehost?

On a new Shared, VPS, or Dedicated hosting plan, ask within 30 days. The refund table says between 3 and 30 days, for new signups only. Cloud hosting, monthly terms, domains, and add-ons are excluded. After 30 days, renewals are refundable only inside the 15-day prebill window.

Can you cancel Bluehost without me logging in?

Yes. The notice goes to Bluehost in writing, so it does not depend on you reaching a cancel button inside your account. A lost password or a locked account does not stop it.

Does the letter ask them to delete my data?

Yes. It asks the company to erase the personal data it holds on you where it has no lawful reason to keep it, and to confirm in writing once it has.
