JustHost has quickly grown into one of the biggest and most respected company in the web hosting industry. In the US, JustHost is based in Gendale, CA. They also have offices in the UK and Australia. This is largely due to having one of the fastest, most reliable networks which distribute your website across multiple servers, virtually eliminating any site downtime.

Looking around the plethora of hosting review sites, opinions are mixed on JustHost, ranging from “top notch” to “don’t waste your money”. However that would apply to all popular web hosts!

Control Panel

All JustHost accounts use the award winning cPanel control panel, an extremely user friendly graphical interface that allows quick and easy access to all the features available to any particular account plan. It makes simple to manage all aspects of your hosting accounts. The features inside the control panel automate processes that users must do manually with other hosting services.

Why Do We Prefer cPanel?

• You can easily upload and manage web pages in cPanel’s File Manager
• Backing up data is simple with cPanel’s Backup Wizard
• Web statistics can be generated by different statistics generators
• cPanel simplifies tasks such as generating and viewing statistics about visitors and reviewing error logs to locate broken links and other problems
• cPanel supports the standard mail protocols, including POP, IMAP, and SMTP, both with and without SSL encryption
• cPanel provides a web-based interface for checking email, so you can access mail at any time, from any computer with a web browser
• Mail filtering and mailing lists are available

cPanel comes with Fantastico DeLuxe, an amazing web application. It gives you the ability to automagically install popular Open Source Applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, phpBB etc.

With Fantastico the installation procedure of all of the most important scripts takes only seconds and can be performed by novices without the need of setting up MySQL databases, importing structure, chmoding files and without the need of other tasks usually associated with installations.

Customer Support

JustHost’s customer support is in a league of its own. The company specializes in customer satisfaction. They are dedicated to ensuring their customers can contact them in the best way for them, so they provide you with many different methods to get hold of them.

Their excellent service includes toll-free phone support, 24/7 free e-mail, live chat support and comprehensive knowledge base, to get answers on common questions quickly and easily. The most preferred contact and support form is via live chat, because here you can talk with a person in just few minutes.

Remember that the live chat is only for basic support, if you need advanced help, than you can submit a support ticket and a hosting engineer will care about you in about 10-20 minutes.

Price and Cost Effectiveness

Just Host’s prices are incredibly competitive and every plan includes an incredible list of features including unlimited disk space, unlimited transfers, unlimited email accounts, free account setup and the ability to host unlimited domains. Additionally you receive a free domain for life and $250 free Google, Yahoo, MySpace, MIVA, etc advertising credits.

JustHost’s prices are incredibly low especially as you consider all of the features mentioned above.

This allows multiple website domains from the one account.

Unlimited

So you have heard all of the great things, and as this is an honest review of JustHost you can depend on, we will also tell you what you should know about unlimited hosting.

“Your space” is limited to exactly what you need for your site. JustHost try to provide you as much disk space as they could and the vast majority of clients will never need to worry about disk space. But you should know that a shared web hosting service means a number of customers’ web sites are hosted on the same server.

To ensure that web hosting is reliable and available for the greatest number of users, a customer’s web site usage cannot adversely affect the performance of other customers’ sites. So there are still some constraints on the way you use disk space, such as using a shared account as a backup/storage device is not permitted (with the exception of cPanel backup of the same account).

It’s impossible for a web host to offer truly unlimited hosting on a shared hosting server. If your WordPress blog or Joomla site still get huge traffic (10,000+ visitors/day), you risk having your site taken down, to protect other users on the server. JustHost however are at pains, in their support docs, to point out their server resource limit of 25% (unlike many hosts who bury this away in their small print).

Free Sitebuilder

If you are not too hot on web design, thats not a problem either. Just Host have bundled a pretty decent site builder for free, which comes with a ton of pretty attractive templates to suit most tastes. With the help of Just Host video tutorials, a free script vault, and a wide range of free e-commerce shopping carts, there should be no reason why your new website cannot be up and running with a minimum of delay.
