Plan Features and Pricing

Both JustHost and ipage offer unlimited disk space and bandwidth for their customers; as well, they both offer very economical hosting packages. However, the one difference that seems to stand out between the two is the fact that JustHost offers cPanel for their clients. One of the easiest control panels used for website building. Most websites are currently being set-up and maintained by everyday people; those not formally trained in website design or computer programming. The cPanel control technology allows for users an ease of navigating through set-up like none other; it’s rated number one in the industry.

JustHost offers FTP Access; a great program that allows you to download files and information in record time; as well, JustHost allows anonymous FTP transport. In the computer world, these are all wonderful technologies to have at your hand. Both do offer unlimited email accounts, as well as, unlimited email forwarding, auto email responses, and spam control. However, it is important to mention that JustHost spam blocker is the state-of-the-art software program known as Spam Assassin; an easy means to blocking those pesky and unwanted emails.

Pricing for both are no doubt low; with just a 15 cent difference in their monthly fee; ipage does come out higher at just $3.50 per month. The low fee of $3.35 per month for JustHost is truly the better option when it comes to features and technology offered to their clients; as well as, a few cents better a deal.

Reliability

JustHost offers their clients a guaranteed money back policy based upon uptime; if at anytime you fall below the guaranteed 99.9% uptime rate; a full month’s of service will be credited to your account. Although, iPage makes a promise of fast and secure networking ability; there’s no given uptime guarantee in any dollar amount, nor is there any reference to their uptime percentage rate, at all.

Support

One of the most important features when starting a website, especially for those with little experience, is support from your hosting company. There is no doubt at one time or another; you’ll probably have a question, concern, or problem that will warrant a phone call or an email to their support staff. JustHost and iPage have both 24/7 support staff available; and although iPage offers “North America phone support”; JustHost offers support staff that speak English. They both have very similar return times for getting back to their customers; usually 2-3 minutes for phone help and less than 20 minutes for email help. Both also offer tutorials and question and answer sections on their websites. However, JustHost has articles available and much other interesting news updates for their clients at no additional costs.

General Aspects

To the average browser the two hosting companies may seem very similar in support, pricing, and perhaps even some features. However, you can’t beat JustHost’s cPanel technology when it comes to website set-up; basically the most difficult part of setting up any website. You also can’t beat their uptime guarantee of 99.9% which they stand behind with an actual money back guarantee.
