What Is the Bluehost Refund Policy?
Bluehost allows refunds, but the terms vary depending on when you request a refund and your purchase details.
- If you cancel your account within 30 days from subscribing, you will get an automatic refund for all hosting services. You cannot get a refund for domain registration fees
- If you cancel your account after 30 days from the purchase, there are no refunds available
Refund rules regarding specific tools and services vary, some are completely refundable, while for others there are no refunds at all.

For any of the following services, you can get a full refund if you cancel them within the 30 days of the purchase:
- Dedicated IP's
- SiteLock
- Site Backup & Restore Pro
- Search Engine Jumpstart

What Bluehost Tools Are Refunds Not Available For?
Bluehost only approves refunds for addons canceled during the prebill period. If you cancel an addon after that, there are no refunds available.
You cannot get a refund for SSL once you install it, either.
Can I Get a Bluehost Prorated Refund if I Cancel My Subscription?
Only customers who subscribed before April 2017 are eligible for a prorated refund. The 30-days rule doesn't apply to them, and they can cancel anytime.
Can I Get a Bluehost Refund After 30 Days From the Purchase?
The only case in which you may be eligible for a refund after 30 days from the purchase is related to your account renewal. If you have an annual subscription and it automatically renews, you can cancel it and request a refund. You have 30 days from the billing date to do this.
This exception doesn't apply to users with a monthly subscription.
