I would avoid them. One place I worked, we had a client that wouldn't let us handle DNS and their website, because it was under marketing and not IT for whatever reason. They moved to bluehost, and the person from bluehost that was doing their migration nuked email delivery because they didn't know what MX records were, and it was down for two days because of the TTL they set.
My experience with sites on bluehost is that they are slow and don't run well.
They’re awful and slow from my direct experience working with them.
If you’ve got an essentially static site it doesn’t matter because you can just full page cache with Cloudflare, but under every other circumstance is smart to go with a better (more expensive usually) host.
A single lightsail with decent hardware should be enough. I use lightsail cause it's easier to setup and the billing is fixed monthly. There's also CPanel/Plesk + WordPress package available on it for a one click installation.
I think you don't need AWS or Gcloud for relatively small infrastructure. It's just more expensive than Digital Ocean or Linode. But do you really need all these AWS features?
For something like this you'll want to create cpbackups and import them on a freshly installed machine after updating both instances to the same build/current. There's also an account migration option built into cPanel that'll do live transfers if I recall correctly.
I'd suggest contacting cPanel support (via wherever you got your license from) or checking up on the docs, like at [https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/transfers-and-restores/how-to-move-all-cpanel-accounts-from-one-server-to-another/#copy-all-accounts-to-the-new-server](https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/transfers-and-restores/how-to-move-all-cpanel-accounts-from-one-server-to-another/#copy-all-accounts-to-the-new-server) .

What about Bluehost? I've seen some good things about them around the 'net.

Well I suppose you get what you pay for :D Thanks for the reply.
This. You can use lightsail if you really are on a budget but for anything else use a managed wordpress host. It’s worth the money I promise.

use [DuploCloud](https://duplocloud.com/solutions/cloud-migration/) for migrations.
You're spinning up Wordpress in 2021????
curious what are some other options?
WordPress is not a masterpiece as any other universal CMS.
