Queantic vs Bluehost

Bluehost walks a beginner through setting up hosting. We remove the setup, so there is nothing to be walked through.

Bluehost is usually described as best for WordPress beginners and onboarding. That is a fair description. Here is where we differ.

What Queantic does that a host does not

  • Nothing to set up. No server, no cPanel, no WordPress install, no PHP version to pick. You choose a template and the site is live on an address with SSL already issued.
  • Mailboxes are part of the plan. Real mail at your own address, as many as you need, on every plan — not a per-mailbox add-on and not a trial that lapses.
  • Analytics are already wired in. Not a plugin you install and a dashboard you learn: the numbers arrive with the site, and they are written as what to change on which page, in order of impact.
  • Traffic is not a bill. You pay for pages, never for visitors, so a good week never turns into an overage.

Where each of us fits

Bluehost

  • A guided install, after which the WordPress site is yours to run
  • Plugins, themes, updates and security are your ongoing job
  • Upsells appear through the setup flow and at renewal
  • Renewal price is materially higher than the first term
  • Growth advice is articles, not something the site tells you

Queantic

  • Pick a template and the site is already live — no install step
  • Updates, SSL, backups and uptime checks are ours
  • One price, no upsell path, nothing to decline
  • Mail at your own address included, not an add-on
  • The dashboard names the page to fix and why it matters

Questions worth asking either of us

We would rather you decide on answers than on adjectives. These are the questions that actually separate hosting plans, and you should put all of them to us as well as to Bluehost.

  • What does it cost on renewal, not in the first term?
  • Who installs the updates, and who is responsible when one breaks the site?
  • What happens to the bill on the week the site does unusually well?
  • How many mailboxes are included, and what do they cost after that?
  • When traffic arrives, what tells me which page to change next?

Bluehost is a good choice if you want a server and you are happy to run what sits on it. Queantic is the better choice if you would rather not have a server at all — and would rather the site told you what to fix next.

We describe Bluehost at the level of how their kind of hosting works, not their current plans — those change, and we would rather send you to check than tell you something stale. Everything stated about Queantic is what our plans do today.
