Unlike other web hosting companies that offer web design services, online marketing tools and a range of other bells and whistles, Just Host aims to provide straightforward web hosting services with no distracting extras. Although Just Host does provide the marketing credits that a few of its competitors provide, its singular product and straightforward offerings are surprisingly refreshing and especially useful for novice webmasters seeking an uncomplicated web hosting solution.

Ease of Use

Just Host uses the cPanel control panel which is extremely easy to use. The display is exceptionally well-organized, with the exception of some advertisements which clutter the page. Nevertheless, once you begin working on your site these advertisements become relatively easy to ignore. The only thing that surprised me was that the free advertising credits were located in the center of my visual field, above the database, mail and file setup sections in the control panel. Every section of the cPanel is easily identifiable and each one has graphic icons that clearly reflect what services are being provided. The left navigation of the control panel offers interesting information such as how much bandwidth transfer and disk space my site occupies, although, practically speaking, this information is irrelevant since all Just Host plans offer unmetered services.

WordPress Installation Introductory Page

I was excited to see that the WordPress widget was located clearly in the control panel's 'Popular Choices' section. The installation process required 3 steps, which mimicked those found with other web hosts. Likewise, I encountered a problem with duplicate files that I'd seen when installing WordPress with numerous other web hosts, but a quick call to the support team resolved the problem within minutes, and I was able to complete the installation.

I also tried to set up an email account to see how this process compared to setting up an email with other web hosting companies. The setup process was remarkably straightforward, and it presented me with multiple options for viewing my mail, which were both helpful and impressive.

All told, Just Host's web hosting service was comfortable, intuitive and enjoyable. Even the problems were quickly resolved, leaving me feeling entirely comfortable with the site building process.

Customer Support

Unlike most other web hosting providers, Just Host offers extremely helpful 24/7 phone and email support. What I found specifically helpful was that when I called the customer service center with a billing inquiry, I was told via automated recording that billing inquiries could only be answered via email. The recording, however, informed me that the estimated wait time for a return email was 30 minutes. I was impressed to receive a helpful response in only 12 minutes.

Just Host's phone support was equally impressive. I never waited on hold for more than 2 minutes, and each representative that I spoke with was courteous and helpful.

Although it would have been useful to have chat support so that I could document the responses I received, I was impressed with the consistently high level of support offered by Just Host's phone and email support.
