As we all know that Bluehost currently accepts credit and debit card payments, as well as PayPal for global customers. However, for customers in Nigeria, there are limitations with both local credit or debit cards and even PayPal.

To address this issue, it is recommended that alternative payment methods be explored.

Bluehost has 4 different web hosting plans available on their website that you can pick from, ranging from the basic to the plus, choice plus and the PRO plan.

Depending on your pocket or the features you seek. If you are just getting started, the basic plan is okay to start with. Bluehost gives you the option to expand as you grow in your business.

#5: Get a FREE domain

Bluehost affords you a free domain for a year.

If you don't have your own domain already, this is an opportunity to claim a free domain – which is your website's address.

While you may create a new domain here, you can also add your existing domain as well at this step or even create your domain later if you are still brainstorming a perfect domain for your business.

#6: Get 74% OFF Your Plan!

Read this step carefully so you won't miss out.

Under “Account Information” you are advised to fill in the form accordingly with your correct details to set up your hosting account.

But before you start filling out the form, you should claim the discount first. Now, let me show you how to claim the discount on your new hosting plan.

Take note:

This is not a trick; in fact, this option was made available by Bluehost themselves so as to make sure you get the best deal, but it wasn't known to many people.

To claim up to 74% discount off with the basic plan, gently hover your mouse towards the exit button [x] of the page on your PC.

Note: I am not saying you should close the page.

While doing so, you will see a window pop-up or something similar to the screenshot below.

Click the “Claim Savings” button, and the page will reload afterwards for the new updated discount price.

NEXT,

Under the Package Information. Select your preferred account plan.

Next,

Under the Package Extras (optional). You may want to uncheck Codeguard Basic and SiteLock Security – Essential to avoid recurring billing.

#7: Fill in your card details and pay

This is the stage where you have to enter your virtual card details to make a payment. All MasterCard and VISA cards are eligible here.

Meaning that your virtual Visa USD card will have either MasterCard or Visa logo printed on it and can be used for your purchase.

  • Credit Card Number – This is the 16-digit number on your card.
  • Signature / CVV2 Code – This is the 3-digit code at the back of your card
  • Expiration Date – This is the date (both in month/year) on the card.

Enter those details above accordingly and please make sure it is your own card as you may be asked by Bluehost to verify the card ownership.

#8: Accept the terms & submit

After you have finished step #6 above, you are expected to read and agree to their website and auto-renewal terms by checking the box. Then submit.

Now, all things are equal. Nothing should stop your payment as long as you have enough amount in your account (card) to cover up the purchase.

When Method Doesn't Work – Do This

I will put this here because I understand that things change so fast.

In a situation where you have followed these steps and funded your account but your card payment option didn't go through.

Try this.

Option #1: If You Have An Active Paypal.

If you have an active Paypal account already, just add (link) your Chipper Cash virtual USD card to your PayPal and verify the card. Then purchase your web hosting using PayPal directly.

To make a payment with Paypal, follow these steps.

Paying for Bluehost using PayPal

This is an alternative method of making payments on Bluehost.

And I will assume that you have a verified Paypal account to do this.

Here are the clear steps to easily find the Paypal payment option while purchasing your web hosting plan on the Bluehost website.

Agree to their terms and Submit. You will be redirected to Paypal to complete your payment using your Paypal balance.

The same steps apply as well, the only difference here is that, instead of using a credit card to make payment, you will have to change the payment option to that of Paypal, and you are good to go.
