Web Hosting blog from Just Host

We know how quick some web hosts are to make claims about certain aspects of their service, free domain, free setup, free this, free that, but how many of them actually follow through with their claims? From the start, Just Host have been committed to providing a service that stands above all others and we have always gone that extra mile with our hosting plan’s features to ensure that our customers get the most for their money.

We are one of the very few top hosts to offer a true anytime money back guarantee which really is as good as it sounds. Like with most web hosts we offer great discounted prices on our longer term plans such as 36 and 48 months. Understandably, some people aren’t sure of the lifespan of their website so signing up for say a 36 month plan could seem daunting. That’s where our anytime money back guarantee comes to the rescue, because if after 24 months you decide to close your website you can receive a pro-rata refund on the remaining term on your hosting plan so you’ve had the benefit of the great price and haven’t ended up paying for anything you aren’t using.

The majority of hosts only offer a 30 day money back guarantee which will leave most people having to choose between the best price and the possibility that they may not need to host their site for x amount of months. By hosting you site with Just Host this dilemma is completely eliminated as we allow you to take advantage of the best price available and still get your money back at any time if you plans change.

Just Host has won its fair share of shared hosting awards over the last few years, but the first reseller award is a very really special one. WebHostingGeeks.com are one of the most respected and long standing web hosting review sites on the web today and to be named their Best Reseller Web Hosting Provider 2010 is a real honor.

WebHostingGeeks.com explains, “The Best Reseller Host award was given to Just Host because with Just Host you can now setup your own web hosting company without the hassle of managing your servers. With Just Host’s new reseller hosting plans you receive everything you need to be your own web host, so you can make money reselling hosting.”

We’ve worked very hard to perfect our reseller service so it is the best on the market and an award like this is a real encouragement. We’ve obviously chosen the right features, price plans and systems to suit our customers. We’ve also had very positive feedback from existing shared clients who have moved from our shared hosting plans to reseller which is also great to hear.

Here at Just Host we often receive reviews from our customers and respected web hosting review sites alike. Unfortunately it would be impossible to blog about all of them but when certain ones stand out we always try and share them with you in the blog!

This week TopTenReviews.com have been busy compiling a video review of Just Host, it’s a great video and is only 2 and half minutes long – whether you are thinking of signing up or are already a Just Host customer, it’s well worth watching.

I am over the moon to be able to write this blog post announcing that Just Host has reached the amazing milestone of hosting websites for over 200,000 customers. The speed at which we have reached this figure has really blown us away and has propelled us into the official top 50 web hosting companies in the world (webhosting.info).

As always Just Host’s achievements all come back to our amazing team which is ever growing and special thanks go out to the following departments: technical support, developers, order processing, billing support, renewals, web designers, marketing, sales and accounts. Every single person on these teams plays their part in keeping our clients happy in every aspect of their Just Host experience and without this dedication we would not have reached this figure.

I’m sure when we achieve such targets it confirms further to our customers that they are with the right host as so many other people have chosen us as their hosts and are staying with us for the long run. We are definitely feeling more and more like a big happy family as our numbers grow and we’d like to thank all of our customers and as always welcome any feedback from them that will help us further improve our service.
