JustHost earned our "TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award" by being capable, solid web host with superior functionality and reponse times -- both with the site we created and service and support. We were given a test account and we used it to setup a basic site with one of their hundreds of templates. In just under an hour, we went from no site at all to a professional-looking site with news, content, products, FAQs, and contact information. The process is simple and their servers handled updates quickly -- after creating/editing content and saving it in their editor, it took less than 30 seconds for it to publish live to the test website.
When looking for a web host, each customer has unique needs: some need Linux servers, others Windows. For others Ecommerce hosting with Cube Cart or Zen Cart is a must. Email needs vary as well, and some web hosts offer unlimited email addresses and storage, like JustHost, and others limit both addresses and storage. The point to this is web hosting companies generally offer similar services, but can vary widely depending on a customer's specific needs. Anybody can get your site on the internet, but how they handle your particular hosting, platform, software and most importantly, support needs is what differentiates the good hosts from the mediocre or downright bad ones.
We liked JustHost, and used their service just like we would if we wanted to setup a basic small business site. We tested their various support options (phone, chat, FAQs, etc.) numerous times and found them helpful, fast and efficient.
Comparatively JustHost is among the cheapest web hosts you will find for a basic month-to-month, 1-year or 2-year plan. Keep in mind this is a snapshot of JustHost's current pricing, and is subject to change at any time.
* $7.95 for month-to-month hosting
* $71.40 prepaid for 1-year

JustHost account upgrades are also reasonable. While your first domain name registration is free, additional domains cost $x.xx each. Private domain registration means that your name, address, and contact information is not made public. A dedicated IP address is essential if you run a business-oriented website where you have a merchant account and accept credit card payments on your site. Accepting credit card payments also requires you to have a SSL Secure Certificate for your site, which JustHost offers for $69.95 per year. They also offer Visitor2You Search Engine Optimization for an additional $99.95 a year. We didn't try that particular service out, but caution anybody against going with "instant" SEO services. There's plenty of free SEO advice and tips available if you but take the time to Google it.
