About Just Host

Just Host was founded in 2008 and provides affordable, web hosting services

Plans and Features

JustPlan $4.95/month Unlimited Disk Space, Unlimited Hosted Domains, Unlimited Bandwidth and Email, 1 Free Domain for life

Hosting Environment

Just Host runs cPanel servers. For those not familiar with cPanel, this is the best control panel to run your Joomla site on. Plenty of features and options. cPanel does not have the permission issues you can experience with other hosting companies and control panels. The JustHost servers run linux, have plenty of processor power and memory, and are connected via an OC-96 (a very fast connection)

Visit a site hosted by Just Host: www.iphonespeakerreviews.com iPhone Speaker Reviews was the site we moved to test JustHost, the servers have been fast and the uptime is good so we have left the site with JustHost.

Joomla

Just Host runs joomla sites great, along with cPanel server software they also offer Fantastico deluxe. Fantastico allows you to install Joomla with one click. This is a very helpful feature for those who are new to Joomla or PHP/Mysql applications.

Tech Support

24/7 Phone Support, 24/7 Email support, 24/7 chat support. JustHost also has a knowledgebase and video tutorials

Two levels of tech support, standard and priority. The standard support provides great service, infact we have not needed to use priority support, but it is nice to know that it is there if needed.

Conclusion

Just Host provides all the services you will need to host your Joomla website and they do it all very well.

Review

Just Host does a great job hosting Joomla websites. The sign up process is very simple and easy to complete and our account was activated instantly.

We started transferring our Joomla site over to their servers. JustHost runs cpanel so we were already familiar with the control panel. One Note: cpanel is pretty much an industry standard if you ever have someone help you with your joomla site chances are they will be familiar with cPanel which should make things go smooth.

The set up went great and we asked tech support a few questions to see how well they performed. Their responses were all time, helpful, accurate and informative. JustHost has the option for premium support, there standard support is excellent. We do not see a need to the premium support but it is nice to know this option is there in case of an emergency.

We have been monitoring the site with an uptime monitor and can report that our website had excellent uptime and consistently fast response time.

Our experience with JustHost was so good that we continue to host our test site with them.

We enjoy JustHost and think you will to.

Editor Update:
Others have noted poor customer support. We recently had an issue and contacted support and had a good experience. We did now the right questions to ask. I could see how if you were not asking the right questions it is possible to get confusing answers. We are still giving JustHost a 8 for support since they did get our issue resolved and in a timely manner but it did take several emails to get to the core of the issue.

Editor Update (4/15/10)
Over time (more than a year) the server that was hosting our test site began to slow down. We contacted Just Host about this after several emails, it was established that their server was running correctly and we might want to consider looking at a bigger plan. Some of this is to be expected with shared hosting. We had over a year of testing with Just Host so we decided to move our test site to another company. JustHost is still a good option for Joomla Hosting, it was time for us to move on.

Overview

Describe Yourself: Joomla Intermediate User
How long have you used this host: Three months-to-one year

Pros and Cons

Pros It's inexpensive with a full featured cpanel. Although inexpensive, add-ons can quickly increase the price, but it's still reasonable.
Cons Terrible customer support. We've had sites down for OVER three days, we no updates, etc. Very quick email response, but very, very slow on solutions. Great for hobby sites, but terrible for mission critical business sites.

Review

Very fast when submitting email support, but response is a bit of a whitewash. Actual solutions to problem can take days. Online chat simply refers you to email support... sort of useless. They claim they monitor their sites using their own JustUptime.com ... But, that site is NOT up even though they advertise it heavily on the JustHost.com site.

Review

In spite of the fact that for justhost.com very attractive tariffs, we have been forced to leave, since it carries on itself more than dishonourably (steals money).

Pros and Cons

Pros None
Cons Read the fine print, "non-Refundable" options

Review

Never worked, never spoke to a human on the phone, emails responded with broken english that made no sense.

I paid with a credit card, they sent a link to the control panel but the log in never worked. Support never answered the phone or called back.

I was forced to request a refund via email. The option for "faster server" was non-refundable (in fine print somewhere on the site?)

So in the end they stole about $25 and I never even saw the control panel. (still waiting for my partial refund)

 

Deceptive Practice - Stay away!

Review

Right after I entered your credit card information, they charged me 2 years in advance. There were no options to review my registration or cancel the order. I sent them emails and used the live support and I was told that there was no other options but a 2-year contract. I still try to get my money back from them now even though there is a big "Anytime Money Back Guarantee" on their web site.

Deceptive practice. Stay away and save yourself the trouble.

Review

Very Happy with the Service. The setup with JustHost went well and I was up and running with very little effort.

The signup process was a little salesy but I selected only the options that I needed and skipped over the rest.

Everything has bee good so far.
