Thanks for posting this article….I went with Vistapages a few months ago and failed to look up “Vistapages sucks” and after having MANY complications I finally did and found well over 2 dozen people who have given Vistapages VERY nasty reviews (might be an interesting blog for you). I decided to look for another hosting site and came across JustHost.com….I tried to google “JustHost sucks” and various other things and there was not ONE negative review about them. Your blog just confirmed this for me and I will be switching to JustHost.com today. Thanks!
By the way…after reading the majority of your posts for various hosting sites I can almost garuntee that Vistapages hosting takes the cake on suckage.
Glad to hear our Justhost review helps. Less complaints about Just Host only mean they suck less compared to many other web hosts. However, this does not mean they are perfect.
Today hostmonster has deactivated my account, Thanks for the info about justhost. I am going to switch to justhost when I have money.
Thanks for confirming what I already thought, the hosting provider I’m planning to switch to is good. Time to get well rid of the sinking ship that is 3ix.org :S
actually justhost is the best webhost … i agree
Hi I am the admin at Aisodar.com, and we are being hosted by just host. I want to double that Justhost is the best hosting website ever. Unlimited everything and a reasonable price bought me immediately. It is also easy to do anything. Though just host does do a lot of server maintenance. I have had times where my website was down for about an hour. But never the less at least they care about there servers and maintain it.
Hello Administrator of Aisodar.com,
I am beginning an LLC and researching webhost servers. I just reviewed the May 19th 2009 Best 10 web hosting list. Why did your company choose Justhost.com as compared to Powweb (middle of the pack) or GoDaddy.com at the 10th position?
I am strategizing where every dollar goes and need reliable information instead of advertising. Can you help?
To answer your question we chose Justhost.com because other hosters only give you a limited space, like 500mb. I find unlimited of anything very attractive versus a set amount. Also they list everything they give you on the front page like PHP and unlimited MySQL databases. Even though we may never use unlimited, it is always good to have options open. Also justhost.com allows you to pay per month versus paying yearly. Less commitment is always good.
We used to be hosted by Aplus.net and it was terrible. There file manager was very buggy (gave many errors for vague things). They also did not let you change file permissions and there PHP settings where extremely limiting. Very large downtimes with aplus. After the first month with them we switched to justhost.com.
Also godaddy was $1 more expensive. Yes $1 does matter.
A web host that does not have many complaints definitely does not suck. At the same time a web host claiming to give unlimited disk space and bandwidth is not honest. So we have a dishonest web host, that does not suck!
I’ll purchase an account from JustHost and publish my 1TB photos on the web, lets see if it is really unlimited or not!
Mr Abasi, I hope you don’t take the word “unlimited” to mean infinite. Realistically, it just means that you get enough space more than you ever need or it is an unreachable limit. Read their TOS. If are hosting a file/movie/photo sharing, get a dedicated server!
The “abusers” make life of decent users like us harder than it should be, when the web hosts put more and more constraints on what we can do on our hosting account.
* We predict that the “unlimited” bytes hard-drive will never be invented, but all web hosting will offer unlimited everything in the future – go figure
Dear Admin,
I know very well that this is nothing but a marketing strategy but I still can’t help thinking that this is not an honest strategy to sell something, anything! When you buy a car, you know the limits of the car you’re buying. This much horsepower, A/C, seats for 5 people etc. When you buy a house, you know the limits of your house. This many rooms and that many balconies and a something square yards garden. Same for buying chocolate or tennis shoes. Nobody tries to sell you a car with unlimited horse powers, a house with unlimited rooms or chocolate which will never run out, no matter how much you eat. It’s really not fair to sell hosting this way IMHO.
I agree with you about these deceiving advertising slogans Mr Abasi. There should be a line between false advertising and otherwise acceptable “puffing”. This is not specific only to Justhost. They are all doing it.
But we will grow to accept them in our life, just like we accepted phrases like “It keeps going, and going, and going…” by Energizer – Don’t believe that they are selling batteries with unlimited life. Or my wireless provider is giving unlimited free landline calls – does that mean I can start calling everyone in the phone directory and sell them my homemade cookies…
Yes, we have come to accept misleading advertisements as the norm. It’s unfair to blame one company for this. The penalty is that many people assume advertisements are BS.
My friend, we have come to accept misleading ads like these as the norm. British Telecom (my ISP) offers unlimited broadband, but if I read the T&C, it clearly states that there is a fair-use policy in place. It is upto us to read the T&C carefully before purchasing anything. If they do not mention anything about this in their T&C, then it will raise a red flag in my book.
why suck it is one of the best option for hosting available.
I recently purchased website from justhost.com. I love the cpanel and options! The pricing is low and its an overall great experience!
well, there are enough advantages in Justhost. what I like most is their time response. I am sure that I won’t leave alone with my problem. they,guys,are always here to help within 1 hour. THAT’S GREAT!
There are additional good ways to review hosting companies like looking at incoming transfer accounts and departing transfering accounts.
I am currently with godaddy and found a couple things about unlimited hosting.
One, pretty much all companies will limit the amount of outgoing email. I am using a Joomla site so I had to disable the register emails and other email function I would have loved to do.
Two, Godaddy limited the number of connections to 250 with the premium account, 100 deluxe, and I think 50 with ecomony. So if more the 250 people touch the site at the same time the people over 250 will get an access denied error and “they can just hit refresh”, which is what the Godaddy rep told me.
I had a friend that hosts at webhost4life and loves it but I read a ton of bad things about them so I’m looking elsewhere. wh4l does have unlimited connections but I can’t get over the bad reviews out there.
Justhost.com is getting back to me with connection limits. Let me know if you guys know anything.
i am with justhost.com and so far its very good. i havent have problem with it.
even the live chat if i wanted to chat with them there are there always.
very good hosting.
great job!
I am impressed how people worry about UNLIMITED plan. Any host which gives you 3000GB (like 1and1 or whatever), you’ll never reach that limit, Why ?! LOL
I think UNLIMITED is virtually, because they know NOBODY will reach that goal. And if so, that people rarely exist. Also You have a big DB like this, I think you probably worry about your informations and would go for a private server or something. What you think if they had all DB from youtube ?!! han?. The response is: STEAL (and don’t be stupid!). So YouTube doesn’t want UNLIMITED plan…haha (I think you’re on the same situation, tell me)
And the guy with 1TB of pictures; man, please! LOL… get a Private Server
Relax, people: if you have a good host, even your website gets down for one day or two throughout the year, that’s fair enough!
Come on,…
I found out quickly that their Pre-Sales team needs to brush up on the services they offer. I was told one thing during chat and then signed up only to find out certain features were not available – Not even at an extra charge. Since some of them (custom name servers for example) were important I canceled after only having my account for 30 minutes. Even though I only had the account for a short period of time and I was only canceling because their pre-sales team gave me incorrect information a full refund was not issued. This is just not right. Terrible business practice. If you are considering JustHost.com please make sure you verify and re-verify the features you require ahead of time.
I do not think any shared hosting plan will give you custom name server. Try a reseller plan instead at hosts like Hostgator
We switched to JustHost from IX because of security problems. Our site went down Monday, no explinaton from JustHost except that it could take up to 24 hours for the DNS to propagate. At the same time our dedicated IP address was gone. Another wait to find out they changed that too! Now we find our email forwarding has stopped working as well. I am still waiting for an explanation. I don’t have time for this BS. I can understand there will be problems, but this is a little much.
Also, after signing up, I find I can buy carbon offsets! What! I am not going to pay for the kings new clothes.
Just hosts support is very quick and has a very easy back end to install software such as wordpress and joomla. The only problem is they host my website in the USA. As a UK based company I understand it effects my ratings and will not appear highly in the UK search engines.
Apart from that I can recommend them.
Hi
Just signed up with Just Host for 3 years.
cpanel is absolutely brilliant and lets you install oscommerce or zencart and others very, very easily.
I managed to delete some files which messed everything up and contacted Just Host at 2am. They had my hosting reset to default by 8am next morning so I could start over again.
Currently have another site with TWD hosting where images take ages to upload which I thought was normal so I can’t believe just how fast Just Host is.
Would certainly recommend them to anyone
Half of the posts on this page are from people that have just joined justhost.
What good is a review from someone that has just put his foot in the door?
They even dare to recommend them?
to balloons, in real life it doesn’t matter where your site is hosted.
All my sites are hosted in the USA but I often target Italian/German/French traffic and I am top of the engines for most keywords.
I don’t even use country specific domains, I just have .com sites.
In other words, you might have a .co.uk site hosted in the UK and I might have a .com site hosted in california and I might beat you on all keywords you target on the google.co.uk site, simply because my site offers content that’s a trillion times better than yours.
That’s simply because Google focuses on giving you what you are looking for, regardless of where the site is hosted.

Why is it free?
Well its supposed to be an affiliation they have with Template Monster to offer free website to template monster customers, so why not use this for our benefit… Enjoy the free web space and domain name for a year!
Enjoy!
Steven, I am not sure if this still works. Justhost will ask for proof of your purchase from Template Monster.
I’ve been with JustHost for about 3 months now and I’ve had no problems. I was a little skeptical because when I hosted with them it was for the ~$3.95 special they had going on, so I figured if it sucks then I’ll just get my money back no problem. But I haven’t had any problems. I switched from WebsiteSource.com and they were absolutely horrible. Like cPanel would be inaccessible all the time, my webpage would not load and when it did it was slooooooooooooow. Everytime I created a ticket they would say “we’ve been working on it” or make up some excuse. Every single day their maintenance site (https://www.wssnews.net/) always said something was wrong. And that something always affected me. But now I’m with JustHost and so far, so freakin good. I have my regular and bought the name from GoDaddy for $8 bucks (it was cheaper) and just added it to my JustHost account, no problem.
I am looking for a host for my domains, which are registered with 1&1 (no site created yet). I emailed two web hosts, Supergreen and Justhost, to ask about transferring these domain names. Justhost acknowledged my info request IMMEDIATELY and answered my question within about 4 hours.
Despite sending two further email requesting the info, I have heard NOTHING from Supergreen at all!
Very poor (supergreen). NO WAY am I spending my money with a company who can’t be bothered to even acknowledge my request for information. Stupid way to run a business – they’ve lost my custom!
Hi steve, their answering an email in under 4 hours is fast, but could be faster.
Anyhow, you do not need to transfer you domain to your web host. Just keep them at your domain registrar (1&1) and point your A-record to your web host. This is a good way to try a web hosting service and you can easily move to another web hosting company later on if you have problem with the current web hosting service.
Good luck and please update us about Justhost service.
hi every one ,
it’s really bewildered to choice the right web host cuz you still student and your website need a spacial ability ,
however we’ll try justhost and we will see.
thanx for all about there informations .
ok you say it’s great, but my problem is that the reviews i’ve looked at say that you can’t put videos, mp3s, or games on the website, and im trying to make a site that defiantly needs videos, maybe games. could someone please confirm/deny the no video alligations? this would help alot!!!
You can put videos and mp3s on almost any web host including Justhost. However, the problem usually occurs when you share copyrighted materials, musics, videos or files. If you own the copyrights to the files, then you should be okay with Justhost.
Unlimited space? Great. Now I have lots of space to use as backup for my PC and office work too…
Don’t do it. You may get suspended for using their unlimited space for other purposes. I use ElephantDrive for file sharing and backup. Try that instead and avoid any possible problem…
All these are very interesting, thank you.
I want to try justhost for my website, which is mainly consisted of photos and videos. Of course the videos are encoded and are not GBs or something, read somewhere that justhost doesn’t allow video hosting…? All the copyrights are mine so there is no problem with that. If anybody knows something about this please post a reply, will really appreciate it. Thank you
I also have not gotten the answer I wanted about the video hosting at Justhost, so I decided to go with InMotion hosting.
I’ve wanted to put a web site up for years for my caricature art, but the cost of launching was too high, and the thought of doing it myself.. well, put me off.
I found Just Host and their reasonable prices just a few weeks ago, and when I finally got my courage, bought a domain, and worked on a site. Just Hosts’ TECH SUPPORT teams were TREMENDOUS and SOOO patient. I could hug them.
My site is up, and I got my first major job off of the site yesterday. (the sites only been up since Sunday)
I will make it my business, besides drawing caricatures, to recommend JUST HOST to anyone who is trying to get a web site going in these difficult economic times. Victoria Bingham
So far, so good. I signed up today and everything seems fine so far.
Justhost’s main page talks about 3.95 a month. That is only applicable if you buy a 3 year plan. If you choose any smaller time frame it is cheaper to go with godaddy.
Yet, after completing almost all the information and exiting they gave me a chance at 50% off hosting. So maybe they are the cheapest after all… Besides going free, of course.
I use JustHost for a couple of my websites I’ve created and have really nothing bad to say about them.
I don’t care for their website builders, but I make my own sites in Dreamweaver anyway, so it doesn’t matter at all.
They do charge your credit card or paypal account when your hosting fees are due until you cancel with them.
We decided not to host one URL with them as we are not going to renew that website name again. I contacted JustHost via email to find out how to cancel that hosting account. They got back to me in less than an hour with instructions and the link to cancel the account. No hassles at all and even refunded the remainder of the time back to credit card and offered about $400 worth of free stuff if I kept the account with them
Now I think that’s pretty good service don’t you? Also I have had ZERO down time on their servers.
well you probably have had downtime just you were not working on your site(s) at the time…
Hi All
I’ve been with justhost for about six months now and host sixteen websites with them. Like all I was sceptical at first, but there have been very few problems – nothing of any consequence – minor technical .htaccess issues.
Their support is really great, quick, keeping you informed.
I’m not sure what the catch is, but for AUD$140 for three years for that many sites, I’ve got a bargain! So far so good.
Keep up the good work justhost. I’m a fan.
BTW 1TB photo man. Unlimited hosting is like free ice cream. Take what you can eat, don’t back the truck up and take the lot.
Cheers
Bill
i agree with take what you can eat. unlimited means unlimited on a fair usage policy. unlimited is literally impossible if you think about it. they would have to build server farms on mars because we would run out of space on earth and the moon…
I have been with Just host for one and half years. I did not absolutely had no problems. I have never called them for support, but for my trouble tickets they have responded with in half an hour. I have two domains hosted with them and absolutely no roblem so far.
Cheers!
I’ve had just host for about a year now and i have no complaints so far. Everything works like it should, and it is relatively easy for me to manage my various domains under one account. No problems so far.
i have site on JustHost https://automotors.info and it works very good
and they have good affilate programs
Anyone who has experience with justhost reseller program? Is something limited? I want to use it, and start my own hosting business in my country
Justhost provides unlimited sapce and bandwidth as they claim, but when you study their terms and condition you find out that is all bullshit.
Offering video and/or audio streaming or downloads, MP3 Files, Games and shareware is also not permitted on any Just Host server.
Then how can unlimitted space be true, if they dont allow you to have videos music?
Do you have license for those music and video files? And you want to put those MP3 and videos files on a shared server? Thanks a lot Anin… You are the one who is hogging the server bandwidth eh…
Bravo Justhost for such T&C that protects us all from abusers like this.
@Anin
I think that it is a load of shit too. They claim to provide unlimited space and bandwith, I installed the MFHS script onto my site just to try it out (I was planning on making a file sharing site). I was so disappointed with the lack of speed that the JustHost servers provide. Those terms and conditions are one part but the fact that it took me a while to download something from my own server was disappointing. I didn’t read the T&C’s until now, I’ve been looking for a host which doesn’t mind filesharing sites and I’ve only found one that doesn’t hit you so hard about the copyrights.
oh great, another bandwidth hogger. Wow. Starting another website where you freely share your MP3 music and expect nobody will complaint to the web host about copyright… Yes please do tell us if you find such a nice shared hosting. This will be an amazing discovery…
bandwidth hoggers are my heros – thanks for keeping our industry a rockin’…
They have good chat support. My site is always up when I check. The sign-up process is a little hokey, they will try to upsell a lot of services that you will most likely not need, but can you blame them with their low low hosting cost. I’m a satisfied customer of one year so far.
I have been with Justhost for nearly two years. I have never had a problem with them. Their tech support is knowledgeable and friendly. great how-to videos. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
Justhost is my first web hosting company and I tried others after that and went back to Justhost. Their customer support is excellent, good up time, one of the best price schemes, uses cpanel (which is much better than those who don’t)..
Check out my website hosted using justhost at TheSimplest.net
I’m not living in the U.S. so I never use their phone support, however the live chat is surprisingly useful, they even answer very technical questions and help me solve my problem everytime!
Nice review here! Always wondering why there’s so many justhost haters while I’m enjoy their services so much. Keep it up!
Extremely professional and extremely helpful. I had a medium amount of web hosting experience coming into JustHost.com, and it was perfect. There is enough tools to do what you want.
I just have a hobby site build with html code. About a week ago I switched over from a network of free hosts to JustHost. The hosting works fine, no complaints at all.
I signed up with just host for a website transfer and after ten days nothing had happened. I requested my money back and I received it in three days! They are a honorable company.
Stephen
JustHost.Com is good if not the Best. If one has low to moderate traffic on their website — then JustHost.Com is an ideal Hosting Co.
well, i have the copyright of videos and mp3
i have a band. so i can´t use justhost… the pice is good but not for business media.
can anybody recomend me a good host for streaming media?
I would recommend inMotion Hosting if you want streaming video hosting.
Moved over from a previous host company, and found JustHost to be a very good host firm.
They were quite willing to work with me through PCI Compliance.
Excellent (X Cart) Tech Support.
If you are looking for a great firm, I can say go with JustHost.
I have had a good overall experience with JustHost and have recommended clients to JustHost.com. I’ve experience some minor email issues in which their support staff quickly resolved. Oh…their support is excellent!!!!! I’m thinking of bumping up to the Platinum service and adding a reseller hosting account.
thanks

I use JustHost, and I have to say I find it pretty good. I also host with UK2 and 1and1, and JustHost seem to be just as good.
No problems with them after 3 years.
very quick to sort out some problems I have had, my fault.
never had to wait more than a couple of hours for email responses.
Read their terms and conditions first if you think you might generate more than 50 000 nodes.
read it anyway.
