I would also like to recommend Hostgator or Webhostinghub over JustHost and GoDaddy. You'll get faster hosting and excellent support.

Good point KEfd. However I think that if someone needs things such as SSH access and higher memory limit, they are probably ready for a VPS or a dedicated server.

I’ve been using Justhost for 1 year, and I think there are many drawbacks as well.

1. Godaddy offers SSH connection for free, but with Justhost, you have to pay $20 / year.
2. Justhost also has 10% resource limit, so if you go over than that, your account will be just blocked.
3. 64MB PHP Memory Limits is too small, if you try to make a thumbnail of 2Mbyte file, PHP will just crash with “Memory Limits exceeded”
4. Justhost also slower than Godaddy in terms of response time

As Justhost is little cheaper than Godaddy, it is suitable for the beginners who doesn’t need SSH, and only has few visitors,, and no need of uploading functions in their site.

I use justhost to host my game in php. It has been wonderful. I used to use godaddy, but the hosting fees were more expensive, and I was getting downtime and lag. I have not had a single issue since I have switched to justhost. My game located at http://www.wereatwar.com has zero lag if you want to check it out and see what good hosting for a large site, with multiple daily users is like. We have a high bandwidth usage and still have not had any troubles.

Love JustHosts service and your right, they do, by far exceed in service and cost.

Fast servers, reliable staff there all the time! And they do offer Facebook credits to us custys. I love the fact this website responds or comments on your comments! So many people are either stupid/unfair in there allegations when they do these things wrong themselves!

Well i love my service! Msssk, Simples

I have hosting accounts in Godaddy, Justhost and Dreamhost.

I feel that justhost and dreamhost are slow compared to Godaddy. Since they are dam cheap we can compromise a bit.

I just stumbled upon Just Host recently and I’m thinking of making the switch. Are they a legit company? Do they offer mailing lists as part of the unlimited package?

Thanks for the info!

@Billy Bob : we verify comments and user reviews as much as we can by contacting web hosting companies. Simple as that.

@The Web Hosting Hero:

How could you possibly know about the legal threat?
