I've heard/read many bad reviews about JustHost. Even couple of my friends had very bad experience with them and i witnessed it. But my question is that Why is it everywhere?
Whenever i search on google "best webhosts", "good webhosts", i always get JustHost between top 5. On the other hand my hosting "Hostgator" many times ranks in 7 to 10 position. I am highly satisfied with my host.
Why is it so? Why JustHost ranks top?
what about justhost.com?
i want to sign up shared at it
i dont know it is good or not
Any recommendation or experience with them?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've narrow it down to either justhost.com and hostgator.com
Both seems to have positive reviews.
I am leaning a little more towards justhost.com because it fits my needs.
Does anyone have experiences with justhost.com?
I searched for them here but couldnt find anything...
I just visited their livechat but there only seems to be a bot running...?
I would just like to give you a little warning about justhost.com. This is my experience, but I think I was just very unlucky.
I signed up last Thursday, everything seemed to be great. When signing up it said that everything will be setup within 24 hours. The money was withdrawn and I got a confirmation email from paypal.
After 30 hours I still haven't heard anything from the justhost. I checked a whois for the domain I had signed up for; it still wasn't registered. I chatted with one of their agents. I have mixed thoughts about the agents. They respond really quickly which is great, but they don't seem to have any privileges to do anything. They will only answer your questions and they will tell you who to email if something is needed to be done (from my experience).
The agent said that I should email their billing section. So I emailed them, but I didn't get any response to that ticket.
After 3 days I talked to an agent again. Same story; email billing. But they said everything will be setup within the next 24 hours. I emailed them again...
After 4 days (still nothing had happened) I talked to an agent again. He said he can't find the information about me. So I patiently emailed them my info again.
After 5 days I talk to an agent once again. I started asking why nothing has happened.
After I started getting a little angry over the chat (because nothing was happening) he shut down the conversation.
I then emailed their billing team to say I want a full refund. The refunding worked better than I would expect (since nothing had worked before). My money was refunded on paypal about 24 hours later. They apologized in the email and said that this is very unusual.
I feel that it's very unprofessional to charge a customers credit card and then lose the information about the customer and not doing anything about it.
I am looking for a host for a website I am working on.
It is for an association of about 200-300 members, and I do assume that not all of them will visit the site.
The site consists of mainly text, and one weekly podcast.
Considering this kind of usage, I have been looking around for hosting.
I first looked at JustHost and FatCow.
JustHost sounded great because of the price at 2.95/month and free domain for life, but if I decide to change host, I wonder what they will do to my domain. They also promise "unlimited features" and that is usually too good to be true. Although they have amazing reviews all around the internet, not only the biased ranking websites but I snooped deeper, I am not quite sure they are what I need.
Same thing for FatCow, but I do have a little bit more confidence in them because they have been in business for 10 years I believe where JustHost has only been there for a year. FatCow was at just under 5$/month. Plus, its 100% wind-powered...
Last option I found was SharkSpace.com. I found it, being a sticky in one of the forums here. I am interested in the Hammerhead Shared Hosting package. I believe they do not oversell, and its not UNLIMITED webspace and bandwidth. They have been in business since 2004 so its still longer than many other hosts. They also have amazing reviews, I have yet seen a negative one. And finding a coupon for 3.98$/month is also a really good deal for something that looks more reliable. But to that I will have to buy my domain elsewhere as it is not included. 10$/year = 4.81$/month.
Longest lasting business: Fat Cow, Also most expensive.
What I believe is the most reliable: SharkSpace
Cheapest Price: Just Host
If you know another host that you know is reliable, fast, and trustworthy, in the same price range. Let me know too.
i am changing my hosts from hostgator to the JustHost or ImHosted.
I am trying to buy shared hosting plan. I DO NOT want a video sharing website. My website will serve around 100-150 videos of each 5 mints duration.
I am confused about speed of these hosts.
My questions are
1. How can i check the speed of these hosts (JustHost) & (ImHosted). (Any sample file download will do)
2. How can i know which of these host has the fastest data transfer rate to my country. (PAKISTAN)
3. ImHosted says it has OC-192, JustHost says it has OC-96. But how to confirm it?
I am inclined towards JustHost as they are way cheaper than ImHosted. But i am also concerned about speed. Will a OC-96 connection(JustHost) will serve a 5mint video well.?
I'm gonna start an online affiliate biz and am looking for a good reliable and cheap hosting service. I came up with these. Now I'm finding it difficult to decide which one to go with.
And if you know of a better and cheaper service,
