Bluehost, a global leader in web hosting and online commerce solutions, has announced a major expansion of its global data center network, strengthening performance and reliability for millions of small business owners and entrepreneurs around the world.
The expansion adds seven new data centers strategically located in Frankfurt (Germany), Mumbai (India), São Paulo (Brazil), Paris (France), Sydney (Australia), London (UK), and Madrid (Spain). This extended infrastructure ensures faster load times, lower latency, and improved uptime by bringing hosting resources closer to local users.
Each facility is optimized for WordPress and eCommerce performance, delivering enterprise-grade capabilities to small and medium-sized businesses that rely on Bluehost for speed, scalability, and security.
“Proximity means performance, and performance drives customer experience,” said Sachin Puri, Chief Executive Officer at Bluehost Group. “By expanding our data centers globally, we’re reducing latency — one of the biggest causes of site drop-offs — and helping small businesses deliver faster, more seamless online experiences. Every entrepreneur deserves enterprise-grade performance, no matter their size or location.”
With 90% of global businesses and over half of all jobs coming from SMBs*, Bluehost’s investment reinforces its commitment to supporting the digital backbone of the world’s economy.
Studies show that milliseconds can make millions: a 0.1-second improvement in page speed can increase mobile conversions by 9%, boost average order value by 9%, and reduce bounce rates by over 8%. Bluehost’s infrastructure now delivers 2–3× faster page loads than the market average and reduces latency by up to 120 milliseconds, especially for dynamic WordPress websites.
Independent benchmarks confirm that Bluehost pages load up to 3.8× faster across Europe and Asia compared to other premium WordPress hosts.
To ensure localized resilience, the new facilities feature 99.99% uptime, advanced replication systems, and regional failover architecture, providing reliable disaster recovery and business continuity for global customers.
With this expansion, Bluehost continues its mission to make world-class web and commerce performance accessible to everyone, empowering small businesses everywhere to grow with confidence.
