JustHost has always had wonderful reviews about their easy setup and customer service. HostGator is right up there with customer service as well. People are saying that HostGator is not as well integrated as JustHost. People have had a lack of direction as far as direction to accessing accounts. They do have many tips and tricks in their knowledge base to help educate their customers on anything that they may need help with. HostGator also has many tutorials to help clear things up.

HostGator is planning to integrate their affiliate, billing, chat, and ticket system. This would make it a lot easier on customers.

JustHost does not have the overall years of experience that HostGator has. This has been said to be a major con for this company. At the same time, they are still managing to rise above competitors. They may not excel in all areas, but they stay at a very competitive level.

JustHost seems to rise above HostGator in many aspects. HostGator has many extras that JustHost does not. I really don’t think it comes down to what these sites offer and don’t offer. I think it comes down to personal preference and need. You may be a person that finds the quick setup and ease of use through Just Host exactly what you need. If you are one who wants to learn the processes as you go due to less experience, then HostGator may be the way to go.
