Just Host is our 3rd Choice and here is exactly why.

In our Review we list everything you really need to know. The Good, Bad and the Ugly!

Our review criteria is simple. What do you really need from a web hosting company? You need:

1.A Great Price.

2.Uptime and Reliability so good that you never need to waste your valuable time calling customer service.

3. Great Customer Service, because if you do have to get on the phone with them you want to get someone who can actually do their job without transferring you 10 times.

4. Easy to Use, you desperately need a web host with an easy to navigate and easy to use site. Nothing will drive you crazy faster than trying to use a site that looks like it was built by a guy who needs an hour and a half to watch the TV show 60 minutes.

5. Value, sure we all want the best price we can get. But is it worth it to save 50 cents a month if your site crashes all the time and customer service is in some foreign country?

6. What's the Down Side, every company has things they could do better, that's for sure. But what are the challenges, are they deal breakers and how much if any do they affect you?

The Review. So, how does Just Host stack up to our criteria?

Price: (4.95 out of 5.00 possible).

Why? Well, at only $3.95 for unlimited disk space and unlimited sites for a small start up package they are almost unbeatable. You will be hard pressed to find a better offer anywhere no matter where you look. But, is that all there is to it? Read the rest of their review and find out.

Uptime and Reliability: (4.75 out of 5.00 possible).

Why? They say they have 99.9% uptime just like everyone, heck they even make it one of their guarantees. But I come from a town so small that if you were running low you could always bum a dip of chewing tobacco off your Mom. And in a town that small as you know the motto is "show me".

Well, they don't have a third party listed anywhere on their site that independently certifies they make good on their claims. But as you will find very few companies have this actually certified. However this is what justifies the rating of 4.75 any company that does have it independently certified from a highly reputable 3rd party would get at least a 4.95 out of us.

Great Customer Service: (4.60 out of 5.00 possible).

Why? Once again we did our best to call with the most stupid and absurd questions imaginable. I mean stuff like "but if I do get a megabyte shouldn't I call a doctor?" and "A Router, Oh yeah, a New York intersection traffic Cop with those little white gloves and the whistle, right?"

Of course these were all part of a much larger conversation and not completely out of the blue. This can be a load of fun if you can keep a straight face. Did we mention we like our job?

But in their case one customer service rep did get a little testy. And from then on was helpful but a little curt. One rep asked if this was being recorded ect.. You can imagine some of the responses.

No, we don't just ask them stupid stuff we also ask really techie questions like "can I create a static home page with random back pages on a word press blog if its hosted on a sub domain?" The answer is yes by the way, if you either know the right settings or have the right sticky plugin.

Well, for the techie stuff they did great, but they were not all able to maintain their composure. Hey, we like to have fun with our research to bring you the absolute best reviews and grilling their service department is just one of our many review points

Easy to Use: (4.60 out of 5.00 possible).

Why? They have the normal C Panel set up but their access to it can lead you astray pretty easily. Other than that not really that much to report on their interface. Pretty strait forward stuff and really basic if your used to the normal C panel Icons.

But as mentioned just a little too easy to find yourself in an area where you have to hit the back button five times to figure out just where in the heck you are.

Value: (4.65 out of 5.00 possible).

Why? They have a fantastic price for what they are offering. We didn't find a truly better deal on an apples to apples offer out there anywhere.

However you must take into consideration that if your new to hosting your site(s) on the world wide web you're going to need some hand holding. Don't be embarrassed by it you should have seen me when I first started. You remember those really ridiculous questions I listed above? Well, when I was new to the web I would have wondered if some of those weren't real questions.

Don't sweat it, you're going to have to ask how to you FTP 5 times before it sinks in. Don't worry about it, ask the questions. But you may want to weigh price, service and ease of interface carefully if you are new.

What's the Down Side: If you search the web long enough you can find someone who doesn't like any topic you pick. Don't believe me go Google "Puppies suck" or "Butterfly's suck" and you will come up with people who have no more valuable use of their time than to write that stupid stuff. So, no matter which host you pick you will always find someone who has a bone to pick with them or usually just themselves.

The only real downside to Just Host is that if you are new to web mastering you may want to go with someone like Hostgator who is pretty easy to work with. If you're seasoned and price is a major factor then these guys would be very hard to beat.
