Facts About JustHost

• Ranked high among other hosting review sites
• Ranked low among recent plan purchasers
• Accredited by the BBB
• Over 10 Awards in 2009 for Hosting Excellence

Hosting Plans:

Just Host gives you two excellent options for web hosting, and after some decent time spent looking at the differences between the two, what we found to be different was the number of free domains associated with the plan. The JustPlan $3.95 option gives one free domain for life, while the JustPlan Premium option gives three. Thats about it honestly.

An extra five dollars a month for the larger plan, which comes to $60/year more, for two extra domains you can ignore registration on ($10.00 average per year, each), just seems like a waste of $40.00. Always remember that when choosing a web site host, a free domain should not be the make or break on the deal. Normally this requires you to move your registration to THEIR registrar which may create down-time or unreliable service for a short time.

Technical and Customer Support:

Well there is great customer support, and there is bad customer support. Somewhere in the middle, there is just plain customer support and this is where Just Host is at in the realm of assistance. Technical and customer support with Just Host is not US based, and is slow to respond to pretty much any situation. On the plus side, you will probably not need customer support or technical assistance since the typical web hosting customer does not create many htaccess files or meddles with their server/site settings.

Although Just Host has three main offices (Australia, UK and US) contacting customer support will put you in touch, on average, with a broken English speaking agent. While this is really fine in most technical cases, unless your site is down or your server is dead, customer support can normally take up to two hours to fix a server, networking or site issue. This delay is not exceptional, however in the heat of the moment you naturally would like to speak with someone knowledgeable right away, instead of waiting for a technical contact email to reiterate your problem.

Although Just Host has an excellent offering in both Hosting Plans, the customer support and non-automated aspects leave much to be desired.

Features:

Just Host is a Full Feature hosting platform that you would expect from most any CPanel Control Panel enabled provider. You will find a few special surprises however from Just Host, like little hidden Easter Eggs of excitement that make your day. Getting past the Fantastico features which are too many to bother listing, well focus on Ecommerce abilities and on SEO potential.

First of all Just Host lets you really get into the game with some Ecommerce features like SSL Secure Serve, OS Commerce Shopping Cart, Merchant Account Support, and Self-signed SSL. Even if as a user, you are on the lighter end of the spectrum, you can create a dynamic site selling products or services with WordPress and PayPal enabled through the Control Panel. They make it easy!

Naturally no one can guarantee good SEO results based on hosting, but you can rely on your host to keep you from being penalized by giving you a dedicated IP address or helping to drive traffic with Yahoo or Google Site Credits. Just Host does just that!
