Bluehost Strengthens Global Web-Hosting Platform with the Power of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for SMBs

OCI enables Bluehost to deliver up to 5X faster response times and enterprise-grade scalability for millions of SMB, ISV, and MSP customers worldwide

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Bluehost Group, a trusted partner to millions of entrepreneurs and small businesses for their online presence, announced that its adoption of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is delivering enterprise-grade scalability, performance, and reliability to small business customers worldwide. Additionally, Bluehost is taking advantage of OCI to expand the cloud and AI capabilities it provides to support Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) building cloud-native applications.

Nearly a million Bluehost customers have already migrated to OCI, realizing 4-5X improvements in median response times while continuing to benefit from Bluehost's hallmark simplicity, security, and high-touch support. The migration of all Bluehost customers to OCI is on track for completion in 2026 and will unlock new levels of performance and scalability at price points never before seen for small businesses.

"Small businesses shouldn't have to choose between price, performance, security, or support," said Sachin Puri, CEO, Bluehost Group. "With OCI, we can give millions of small businesses enterprise-level speed, reliability, and protection without sacrificing affordability or simplicity. It's an exciting time for Bluehost Group to be delivering a modern, AI-forward digital business portfolio with extraordinary performance and affordability, now extending that to ISVs and MSPs as well."

"By choosing OCI, Bluehost is bringing enterprise-grade performance, efficiency, and reliability to millions of businesses at a fraction of the cost," said Chris Gandolfo, EVP, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "OCI enables Bluehost to help entrepreneurs and growing businesses scale and thrive online using the same cloud technologies trusted by the world's leading enterprises."

With OCI, Bluehost customers benefit from faster page loads, stronger uptime, and reduced carbon impact, all while keeping operations simple and affordable. The transition to OCI also aligns with Bluehost's commitment to sustainable growth, reducing carbon emissions while improving speed and reliability for millions of websites.

Bluehost is redefining what's possible for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the cloud era with OCI:

• High Performance and Efficiency: Ultra-low latency at lower cost and up to 30% reduction in cost-per-customer for equivalent performance
• Global Scale and Reach: OCI's extensive regional footprint enables Bluehost to rapidly enter new markets, launching in weeks instead of months, reducing costs and improving proximity for over 5 million customers across 10+ countries
• Secure and Compliant: Embedded data protection and privacy standards, including PCI and GDPR
• Reliable and Scalable Infrastructure: 99.99% uptime and enterprise–grade scalability to support growing businesses and modern cloud-native applications

By moving to OCI, Bluehost is laying the foundation for deeper AI integration across its SaaS platform, enabling future capabilities such as intelligent site optimization, predictive analytics, and personalized digital experiences for small businesses worldwide. In addition, dedicated engineering teams from Oracle and Bluehost are collaborating to optimize workloads, enhance automation, and co-develop performance analytics designed for the unique needs of small and medium-sized businesses.

"Working with Oracle has allowed us to modernize the infrastructure powering our hosting architecture," said Anuj Saxena, CTO of Newfold Digital. "By taking full advantage of OCI's distributed network fabric, high-throughput storage, and autonomous operations, we're achieving greater performance and reliability across global regions. Our engineering teams are collaborating closely with Oracle to optimize every layer of the stack, including compute orchestration, storage, networking, and AI inference, ensuring performance gains translate directly to real-world customer impact."

"At Bluehost, we're building the foundation of the next digital economy, where small businesses can operate with enterprise-level power and simplicity," added Puri. "Our collaboration with Oracle isn't just about faster sites; it's about giving every small and medium business and creator the tools and technology to compete and win in the AI-driven future."
