Very good host so far, with no complaints. We have a small simple site, but it's all we could asked for.

Not a bad cheap host

Review by: Chris
       from USA, on August 18th

We signed up for Just Host the other day and received quick setup and pretty easy to use control Cpanel type control panel. Our site hasn't went down yet either. We haven't had to use tech support, so I just checked those for the heck of it! But good host so far!

For the past 15 months at JustHost I don't have any complaints about their service, you can have a live chat with the customer service so you can fix any problem that keeps on bugging you, and the CSR answers your email within an hour or two. I remember as I start being a web administrator for my blog I didn't have any idea nor the technical experience to run a web site. Asking them from how to install WordPress to one major technical problem, JustHost has guided me through it all. They even gave me a refund when I was not satisfied with the add-on I received. All in all, I recommend JustHost to other people!
