JustHost Hosting Plans

JustHost offers a couple of shared hosting plans, JustPlan and JustPlan Premium that both provide your hosting account with unlimited diskspace, and unlimited bandwidth. The only additional benefit of the JustPlan Premium plan is that you get 3 free domains, instead of the standard 1 free domain that the regular JustPlan offers.

On its front page, JustHost advertises that their web hosting plan is only $3.45 a month. However, this is a little bit misleading as the price you really pay depends on the number of years you sign up with them. Here’s a table that shows the actual JustHost pricing structure.

Price Contract length
$3.45 48 months
$3.95 36 months
$4.95 24 months
$5.95 12 months
$6.95 6 months
$7.95 1 month

One nice feature of JustHost is their Anytime guarantee. This means you can cancel at anytime and you will get a full refund for the remainder of your term, minus any domain registration fees.

Other Just Host Features

Like many other webhosts, JustHost lets you manage your account using the excellent CPanel script. You can install any of the standard hosting software scripts like WordPress, Joomla and other popular software through a simple to use, 1 click install.

JustHost offers 24/7 customer support over phone, email and live chat. They have also included some handy video tutorials to help guide you for your convenience as well.

TERABLE HOSTING
we using it 7 month.
we have on it about 30 domains , and yeasterday when we try access our webpages on all them was error.
What support wrote to us ?
We apologize for the problem.
Your original server was crashed (its RAID array was totally damaged), so we had to start accounts restoration on the new server.
The process is still going on (they are restored in alphabet order) and it looks like your account has not yet been restored.
That is the reason you are getting default page.
I am going to restore account by hand right now.
Please allow me some time to accomplish that.

Yes they restored our account but it was clean! no setings ,no data ! nothing!! no backups..

And they just tell hdd is damaged it you problem.. NICE HOSTING!!
All out projects we must start from zero..

Honestly the best hosting that I’ve ever had.

Look out for Just Host Coupons! You can take the price lower than advertised above even, and these prices are good for the life of your time with JustHost. I’ve been very happy with support.

I did pay an additional $19.99 for the year for daily backup for my website. (gaming)

I would not hesitate to use them.

Respectfully,

Andrew L.

I have had only good dealings with JustHost. I would recommend them to anyone that asks. For the money, the best web host and PHP host I have ever had. Their tech service is excellent and all problems I have encountered (mostly my fault) have rectified very quickly. Thanks JustHost.

I have hosted with JUSTHOST for just under 2 yrs. At 1st they were wonderful I even canceled my hosting with another company to move to their services, However starting in Dec 2010 they have started suspending accounts with this weak campaign to get you to sign up for dedicated hosting with them. when they do this, EVEN THO YOU HAVE PAID FOR 6months of hosting IN FULL , Your sites get the big SUSPENDED page. How bad does this look for your clients and how mad do you think I am. I am now in my 2nd suspension in 2 months with them FIGHTING with their SLOW admins to get sites back up! I will post of further experience when I get it, But as of right now im telling you STEAR CLEAR!!! Do NOT get caught up in this nightmare of non-sence they are pushing on ppl. GET IT TOGETHER JUSTHOST or Go AWAY!!!

Used just host a couple of times now what can I say but brilliant. Its a cheap as it comes which well its all ways a good thing, I have not ever needed to use the support staff so I cant comment to much about them but just having not needed them says wonders about the reliability.

I like the fact that they use CPanel I have to be honest and say having come from Plesk Panel I was not the biggest fan of CPanel but I have learned to love it and just host has it laid out is such an easy to use way.

The feature of just host are on par if not better than all the other hosting companies I have use and I have used quite a few. WordPress installed perfectly with no dramas and fantastico made the whole process easy.

Overall I would rate just host the top of the list that i have tried and I would like to thank them for my free domain name.

I have used Just Hosts for over 2 years now and I am very pleased with the service. I have had prompt and professional help through the live chat when I wanted to set up a sub domain. There are plenty of features for databases and server script coding. The server is very reliable and quick. The overall value for money is excellent.

I have been with just host for over a year now and am very pleased with their service. For a small monthly fee I am able to host 5 further web sites at no additional cost, other than purchase of the domain name. The site offers numerous features for both beginners to web building and the experienced. There are various different options for building your site, and with the tools available it makes this task very simple. I would recommend Just Host to both beginners and experienced web builders.

Like JT above, they gave me a choice. Upgrade or be suspended. I gave them one also. Suspend me and I’ll sue for breach of contract. Ended up moving anyway to a professional host, not some guy in his mom’s basement

Just Host is the WORST company I’ve ever dealt with, and I even once had an account with Network Solutions. There is NO such thing as “customer service” at JustHost. They are a horribly misleading company, which deliberately orchestrates the creation of a false image of a helping support staff bothered by incompetent customers. The exact opposite is true. It is the customers who are competent and diligent, and JustHost will go to any length to postpone, refuse and obstruct the transfer of a domain away from their ENOM reseller site (which is what JustHost is).

They’re the world’s very worst, and anyone who knowingly does business with them can expect more hassle than their websites will ever be worth.

Bad Company + Bad People + Deception, Dishonesty and Lies = JustHost.com

Very very POOR uptime, Site has been down for 3 days because they are cleaning servers/switching servers or whatever their latest excuse is. Totally unacceptable service. Very upset but if you think they will do something for their customers who are going through this they WILL NOT. Tough luck for their customers is the attitude.
