- In business since March 2008
- JustHost has headquarters in the US (Glendale, CA), the UK (Fareham), and Australia (West Croydon, South Australia)
|
- As such a new company, it hosts predictably fewer domains than most
- JustPlan - $4.95 per month
|
JustHost also hosts a JustPlan Premium for $8.95 per month, the only difference between the two plans being the difference between 1 free domain for life or 3 free domains for life with service (although the 3 that come free with the Premium plan are restricted to being different extensions of the same domain name - in other words: yourname.com, yourname.net, and yourname.biz).
JustHost also offers Dedicated Servers to web businesses with greater needs, as well as free trials of JustUptime server monitoring and SMS alert service and Intellichat automated sales agent. JustHost customers can also claim 50% off from 20 Dollar Banners.
If you haven't yet purchased your domain name, then JustHost could save you a little money by giving you 1 free domain name upon signup with the regular JustPlan and 3 free domain names if you sign up for the JustPlan Premium.
JustHost is one of the only web hosts (along with HostGator) not to offer password-protected directories (if that matters to you).
When it comes to providing tools for filling your website with dynamic content and interactive features (i.e. blogs, bulletin boards, Help centers, and such) JustHost is less strong, offering Fantastico (which is admittedly fantastic) but not a lot beyond that. JustHost also falls short in the way of multimedia features.
JustHost does, however, offer an impressive amount of self-help tools in the way of more than 150 video tutorials and more than 150 Knowledgebase articles on using all the features available to you. And assisted support is available 24/7/365 by toll-free telephone, email, and live chat.
JustHost - like most of the other web hosts reviewed on this site - employs the cPanel control panel for all of its web hosting accounts. cPanel, in fact, is the web management control panel that all others model themselves upon. And once you see it, it's very clear why. Let's start with the sidebar, a comprehensive collection of all the real-time website statistics that you need to optimize your site's performance. Beside it, in the cPanel main menu, is a completely customizable interface of functions from software and security to email management to analysis and log files, each of which are logically categorized and indicated by large, colorful, icon-based buttons. Shift these categories around as you wish to create a cPanel home screen that best suits your uses. Included with cPanel is an array of free programming scripts for adding all sorts of dynamic content and user-interactivity to your site, including the entire Fantastico suite of tools, again - for free. That includes the SohoLaunch site builder, should you desire an alternative to the RVSiteBuilder that's part of the cPanel main menu.
