Just Host is a popular choice for small businesses and freelancers due to its low start cost and easy management. Over the years, some users have relied on Justhost for hosting their clients' websites and personal domains. However, over the past two years, users have reported experiencing terrible service due to constant server updates that cause servers to go down, emails not working, and restricted access to cpanel.

As a result of these issues, businesses face several problems. Justhost never informs its clients of updates that can cause temporary disruptions, leaving users to wake up to suddenly down websites or emails. When servers go down, users cannot transfer their domains and must wait for Justhost to fix the issue. This makes it difficult for businesses to conduct their affairs professionally, causing them to lose valuable time and money. Despite these issues, some users continue to use Justhost for hosting client sites, staging CMS websites fast and building brand presence due to its ease of use and affordable pricing model.

Affordability: Many users have complimented JustHost for its reasonable pricing, which includes a free domain name and other tools that are typically paid services in other hosting companies. The affordable pricing makes it easy for customers to get started with their website without breaking the bank.

Customer Service: Several reviewers have praised the customer service provided by JustHost, calling it very nice and supportive. Users can rely on great support available through phone and email whenever they need assistance with their site.

Ease of Use: Many users appreciate how easy it is to use JustHost due to its user-friendly interface, automated WordPress setup, and software updates. Additionally, the selection of software choices to install on the server from CMS provides flexibility and customization options for users.

Slow server performance: Some reviewers have experienced slow website loading times due to shared servers and dynamic resource allocation. This issue occurs frequently, causing sites to slow down dramatically if someone else on the server is hit hard.

Lack of communication regarding updates: Many users have complained about Justhost's lack of communication regarding updates that may cause disruptions. According to some reviews, this can be problematic for conducting business professionally because they are not given ample time to prepare or adjust their websites accordingly.

Antiquated user interface: The user interface is considered antiquated and challenging to navigate, with the website builder needing improvement in terms of features and services. Several reviewers noted that it was difficult to figure out how all the plug-ins worked, which added more frustration.

Users have made several recommendations for the software based on their experiences and observations.

  1. Several users suggest signing up and exploring the software before making a purchase, allowing users to get a firsthand experience of its features and functionality to determine if it meets their needs.

  2. Many users recommend doing research and evaluating needs before choosing a website builder to ensure that users select a platform that aligns with their specific requirements, whether it be ease of use, customization options, or scalability.

  3. Users find the software affordable and easy to use, with reasonable and competitive pricing that makes it accessible for both individuals and businesses. Additionally, the user-friendly interface and intuitive design make it easy for users to navigate and utilize its features efficiently.

My company uses Just Host for purchasing domains and hosting our websites. Just Host is an affordable web hosting solution and offers several great built-in tools like one-click WordPress installation and the Mojo Marketplace. As a web host, Just Host gets the job done. Just Host is easy enough to use for our admins to go in and make basic changes through the Control Panel. Just Host is primarily used by the marketing department.
  • Affordable web hosting
  • Simple domain registration
  • Webmail
  • WYSIWYG page editing
  • One click WordPress installation
  • Unlimited storage
  • Unlimited domains and subdomains
  • Unlimited email
Cons
  • Slow servers
  • Could use more diverse platform options (i.e. WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, etc.)
Just Host is great option for affordable domain registration and web hosting. There are numerous promo codes that can cut your first bill by 50%, so pay ahead! Just Host also offers one-click WordPress installation and built-in tools like the Mojo Marketplace where companies and individuals can purchase professional-looking themes for their WordPress sites. If you're looking to start a WordPress site, this is a great place to do that. However, our websites have grown tremendously in the past year and we have noticed the sites slow down as traffic increases. This has resulted in some major problems with our popular blog (6,000–10,000 page views per month) and we are looking at alternative options to Just Host.
  • Increased referrals to company website through blog
