JustHost is another hosting company which offers shared hosting only. Virtual (or shared web hosting) hosting is a method for hosting multiple domain names on a computer using a single IP address. This allows one machine to share its resources, such as memory and processor cycles, to use its resources more efficiently. Shared web hosting prices are lower than a dedicated web server because many customers can be hosted on a single server.

JustHost offers basic hosting features such as unlimited disk space, data transfer, domain hosting, email accounts and databases. What makes the difference is that you can obtain up to 3 free for life domain names.

They provide 24/7 support via chat, email and phone. The help center has an extensive knowledge base (along with video tutorials) that can be browsed or searched. If you can't find what you are looking for here, you can use the "Live Chat" to ask one of JustHost's agents, or submit a "Support Ticket". Support tickets have an average response time of 18 minutes.

JustHost's refund policy is not much different than any other hosting companies. They do not offer full money refund but only the amount of unused time will be taken back to you.

JustHost can measure up against the concurrent hosting companies up to the level of basic business sites and bloggers.

Hosting Package

Comparatively JustHost is among the cheapest web hosts you will find for a basic month-to-month, 1-year or 2-year plan. You can transfer or register one domain free upon signing up. You can register your domain privately if you don't want your personal information to appear in a WHOIS search on your domain name (in other words to everybody). Standard domain features include support for parked and add-on domains, subdomains and international domains.

JustHost provides the necessary tools to setup your own Ecommerce site. The shopping cart software and PayPal support is free, accepting credit card payments costs extra. Merchant accounts and credit card processing require you to have a SSL Secure Certificate, which costs an additional $69.95 per year. To do this, you also need a dedicated IP address, which costs pennies on the dollar at $1.66 per year.

JustHost email includes:

• webmail
• unlimited storage
• unlimited number Pop3 or IMAP email addresses
• supports every standard email option available including:
• SMTP email
• aliases
• forwarding
• catch-all accounts
• form mail scripts
• mailing lists
• auto responders and spam protection.
