Bluehost owner Endurance is laying off 440 people in Utah


|| Endurance International Group, a publicly traded company that owns several hosting companies, on January 19 told employees it will close its office in Orem, Utah, resulting in layoffs of employees in accounting, customer support, human resources, and training. The Orem office is home to Bluehost, which hosts more than 2 million websites.
Endurance employs more than 3,800 people, including more than 750 Bluehost employees. The layoffs will impact 440 people, an Endurance spokesperson told VentureBeat. The spokesperson described the move as a consolidation at Endurance’s Tempe, Arizona, office in an effort to improve customer support. A year ago, Endurance laid off more than 200 people working at Constant Contact, months after buying it.
Bluehost offers shared hosting starting at $4 a month, virtual private servers (VPS) starting at $20 a month, and dedicated servers starting at $80 a month. Managed WordPress hosting is also available, starting at $20 a month.
