JustHost FAQ

Learn more about JustHost on the FAQ section below.

What types of hosting service do JustHost offer?

JustHost offers two shared hosting plans – JustPlan and JustPlan Premium. Both hosting plans offer unlimited disk space, bandwidth, email accounts as well as every other feature you expect from a professional web hosting company; the differences between these two package are the price and the number of free domain. For JustPlan Premium, monthly price is $8.95/mo, users get 3 free domains for life; while for JustPlan, monthly price is $3.95/mo, users get 1 free domain for life.

Which JustHost plan is better – JustPlan or JustPlan Premium?

JustPlan is apparently the better hosting plan. You pay extra $60 annually just for 2 free domains – which is rather foolish as domain registration normally cost $10 annually (per domain).

How long does JustHost trial period last?

JustHost trial period NEVER last. With the company’s ‘Anytime Money Back Guarantee’ policy, JustHost allow users to get pro-rated money back anytime when they cancel their account. In other words, this means your trial period with JustHost will never ends.

Subscription Period Monthly 6 Months 12 Months 24 Months 36 Months

As JustHost provide ‘Anytime Money Back Guarantee’, I would advise users to go with 24/36 months subscription plans as it’s much cheaper or use JustHost coupons for saving too .
