This article will explain how to purchase a new account or renew an existing account using these payment methods.



Credit Card

Bluehost can accept American Express, Discover, Master Card, and Visa.

Check or Money Order

New Account

The Credit Card is the default payment option during the sign-up process. Suppose you wish to pay via card. Type in the card number, expiration date, and cvv2 code. The payment will process once you click "Next."

Note: The credit card used to purchase the account will be the default payment method on file. It can be updated at any time in your Account Profile.

Renewal

Once the account has been set up, all new purchases and renewals are processed through the Shopping Cart. You can use the existing card or select "Use New Credit Card" if you wish to use a new credit card or Paypal Account and follow the directions on-screen.

PayPal

Payments using a credit card or PayPal account can be made online. At this time, we can only accept Instant Payments, which means you must have a bank account or credit card directly linked to your PayPal account for the payment to process successfully.

By using your PayPal account with Bluehost, you agree to set PayPal as your default payment method for all future auto-renewals. This can be updated at any time within your PayPal account. If you choose to add a credit card to the account, it will be set as the default payment method for all auto-renewals, and your PayPal account will be used as a secondary payment method if the primary method fails.

New Account

To sign up for a new account using PayPal, click the "More payment options" link under billing information, and select "Pay With PayPal" before clicking "Next." You will be directed to log into your PayPal account to complete the payment process.

Renewal

To renew an existing service with PayPal, click renew button on the product you would like to renew, then select Use Paypal under Payment Option. You will be directed to log into your PayPal account to complete the payment process.
