JustHost is great. I have been a customer for more than a year, my website is always up. Then I can add unlimited domains/email under my hosting account. Their FTP access sucks at times, and they do experience little issues. But overall, I will recommend it to anyone, in my opinion, they do a very good job!
I opened a JustHost account a couple of months ago as it was one of the cheapest options I could find for a not for profit/community organisation. I have to admit that I DID have a few “teething problems” when first trying to set up the site, namely the site builder links kept disappearing from the control panel and the “contact forms” facility wouldn’t deliver to my “home” email address. However, the people at JustHost were excellent in sorting out the problems for me, even down to contacting AOL who were in fact responsible for blocking mail from the IP address and asking them to lift the block.
I am certainly no expert when it comes to setting up websites, but JustHost is certainly a lot more “User Friendly” than some of the others I have tried!
My experience with josthost was an absolute nightmare. I accidentally mis-spelled my domain name during the account setup – and of course they do not verify this particular, and absolutely critical, piece of data. Then they simply refused to understand my problem – and when they finally did, they wanted to charge me $14.95 to fix the problem. Quite frankly, they are a nickle and dime operation. Don;t be deceived by their come ons. When you do sign up with them, they automatically ding you for Daily Backup and Site Lock – without even asking you. And, to get the cheapest hosting rate, you have to pay for 4 years – up front.
OMG! You misspelled your domain name during registration and moan + blame others about it? Classic.
I agree. You have make mistake with domain name so why should they make your mistake. And as well it does not have anything to do with hosting. Everybody will do so as well.
Any hosting company would have reacted the same way. The domain name is a seperate purchase and can’t be cancelled. Not very fair to blame the hosting company for your mistake or expect them to sort it. I’ve been with just host for the last 6 months and found their customer service to be very fast and very helpful…even to the point of logging into my account and fixing mistakes I have made when setting up a php forum transfer.
JustHost.Com are cheater, they are big time scam. I had 135 Domains registered with them and two of them were JustHostMost.Com and JustHostMyDomain.Com, all my domains were on auto renewal. They Renewed 45 of my domain at the renewal time and failed to renew two of the domain which were JustHostMost.Com and JustHostMyDomain.Com and failed to notify the expiry to me. They registered those to domain under their name a day after expiry and did not even let the grace period start. I emailed them and they say because it contain their copyright name they have the right to keep the name and offered me other domain free of charge. I was not intending to take their business but using those domain as my nameserver. One more thing my major domain www.Google420.Com was hacked 3 times while I was using their server and they took no action on it. My total domain did not even used over 5 GB in total and they failed to back up my www.Google420.Com cause they said I went over nodes shit. It was hacker that made those things and they knew it but failed to help me while once I was down for 12.5 hours. They Sucks, please do not use them, use alternative like and I am currently using Name.Com and its so far going okay with me.

Yes I agree their customer service is fast and that is only thing they got, their customer service does their best to bring the client and to even keep them, but those idiot on the back ends sucks. You need their customer service because nothing is in your hand while hosting with them. I am using other company now and most is in my hands. JustHost.Com are cheater and they Sucks.

I have to agree you should use a domain registrar like Name.com for domains registrations.
But wow, you are just playing in the hot water here with copyrighted words like “Google” and “Justhost”?
Not surprised. You are STUPID for registering those domains….
I have had no serious issues with Just Host, beyond the random login denial. Their instant chat feature has you email their billing department at every other request, and if you do so they tend to reply quickly with template messages that resolve problems eventually.
On the whole I like just host, and have hosted a number of sites through them and use FTP clients and apache controls daily. Not a massive hosting site developer so for the average site builder they work well. They offer dedicated servers, all the basic template builders and a well rounded array of tools to develop your sites. Works well for Blog building as well.
They have a 10MB file upload limit on their php.ini file. This means if you have an upload utility on your site and want to allow uploads larger than 10MB you are sh*** out of luck. When I complained and pointed out that Rochen has a 20MB limit I got a terse email back asking if I would like to cancel the account – when they knew full well that our customer had paid for two years in advance – classy. Not recommended.
Well, I take it all back. A less grumpy tech support fellow from JustHost contacted me (after I complained) and agreed to up the limit to 20MB.
10Mb is already quite big. I used another web host and I was not even able to update my WordPress Core because their limit is so low. But all it took was a polite request to their tech support and they increased the quota. You could try that too
I have sites at GoDaddy and JustHost. Never had a problem with GoDaddy, don’t know how their customer service is. I’ve had several problems with GoDaddy, but their customer service is good, and they’ve always come through.
I use some folders with no index.html file, so visitors can see contents and select files for download. GoDaddy calls that a “file repository” and does not allow it. JustHost has no problem with it.
Sorry, meant to say I’ve had several problems with JustHost. I only know they have pretty good customer service because I’ve had to use it a few times.
No problems with Justhost from me. Very speedy customer service and very helpful. Nice user interface for the cpanel. 5 stars from me.
Before today I would’ve told you JustHost was great. They’ve always solved my problems in the past, but today I fell victim to their 10% rule and they suspended my account immediately and with no other option except to upgrade to a dedicated server and pay $149/mo. That’s just not even an option so I have to find a new host and rebuild my site all over again. If you even suspect your blog or site will become popular (which I hoped but didn’t think it would) DON’T use Just Host!!!!
Just Host is a fraud company. It is a cheater organization. For one year I had been requesting for Cancellation of my services but they always cheated me. Now I have asked to give my Authorization Code and Registration Key so that I should register my Domain with some other good Company. For the last 6 hours they are totally doing unlawful things by misguiding . When I sent them an e mail in return I got response from Blue Host. To my astonishment they have sold my web site to other Company ENOM.COM who have placed it on-sale.It is open fraud . I will take them to the court of Law in US Courts.I will continue my struggle against this fraud company and its affiliates that is Blue Host and enom.com. I will even Request American Media to expose this Company so that innocent American should not become victims of this Company.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Your domain name probably has expired and they no longer able to give you your Auth Code. They did not sell your domain to eNom. eNom is a domain registrar used by many web hosting companies.
Although I do not believe Justhost is at fault in this case, I always recommend people register the domain name with a different company and never with the web hosting service to avoid this kind of problem.
Hi,
Very interesting article, whit of sense, and I totally agree the “people are more likely to post complains rather than positive feedback” point.
Two years ago I’ve moved one site to Justhost as a trial, considering their very (too much?) attractive pricing.
After several months and exchanges through their helpful support team, I’ve decided to migrate all my websites (total of 8) there.
Some are developped around Joomla, another one with PMwiki, others in pure HTML…meaning various technologies to be tested.
Conclusion: I never suffered any problems so far.
My best site has about 3’500 visits per month, which is not totally ridiculous but remains in the “beginner’s” field.
My websites hosted at JustHost…among which:
