Just Host Limited

We have just added a new feature to the Just Host service designed to keep our client’s in the loop at all times.  The site features all the latest server information such as migration to new servers, any server changes or additions and any downtime (which is a rarity as you know).

You can view all the latest news on our servers at http://status.justhost.com which is constantly updated by our technical support team. This addition to our ever increasing service should help customers feel even more secure that their interests are our top priority.  All customers now have even more access to the information of the server that’s keeping their site live.

If you have any queries about anything on the Status Update page please contact our support team, although we do hope that this feature should mean you will be left with no more worries!

Just Host has been awarded the prestigious Best Support award from Web Hosting Madness for December 2008. Here’s what they had to say about us:

“New to the hosting scene is Just Host. With sister companies in other e-commerce related niches, such as uptime monitoring and online marketing analysis, the Just * brand seems to just have the hosting equation all but figured out. With unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth and unlimited domains, Just Host is competitive with other companies we’ve reviewed. The addition of cPanel as a control panel makes Just Host an easy web host to use for first time hosters and veterans alike.

What we particularly liked about Just Host is that they have a strong focus on customer support, offering customized web hosting support, 24/7 year-round. Customers can contract Just Host, day or night, via Email, Phone and even Live Chat. To top it all off, Just Host offers a 30-day money back guarantee. With a combination like that, Just Host is a strong candidate for Best Web Host in the very near future.”

We’d like to say a big thank you to Web Hosting Madness for this great award and for all their support in 2008.

Many see moving their website to a new web host as a daunting and unnecessary task, but a high percentage of orders that Just Host receives are transfers of existing domains.  This means there must be a reason why people choose to take on this challenge and maybe it’s because it’s not actually that hard to do!

If you are unhappy with your current host, maybe you are experiencing high downtime, are limited on your disk space or are simply paying too much per month, you need to decide on a new host, then the real fun of moving your content begins.

Firstly you need to make a backup of your MySQL Databases and save them somewhere safe on your computer.  Login to your new control panel where you can then restore your files.  If you are transferring to Just Host your control panel will be cPanel and you can restore your databases by using the Backup feature in the Site Management menu.

Next comes the moving of your files which can be done with the help of a third party software such as FileZilla which allows you to download a complete backup of your files.  To then access these files you must create an FTP account in your new account which you can do in the FTP Manager Menu in cPanel. This will give you complete access to your files allowing you to upload them to your new server.

When you sign up with your new host they should provide you with an IP address which acts as an alternative to your domain name.  Through this IP you can check that your website is showing correctly before you make the transfer complete by asking your registrar to change your nameservers.  You should allow 24 hours for the nameservers to propagate.  All that is then left is to cancel your old hosting, doesn’t sound too bad does it?  If you are considering moving to website to Just Host don’t forget to take full advantage of our dedicated support team available 24/7 at support[at]justhost.com.

Many web hosts will assume that in our technical age everyone understands terms like Dedicated IP Address, Private SSL Certificate and Domain Privacy.  I can assure you that before I started working for a web host I had no idea what these services actually were and why on earth they would be useful. However, with a little research it became pretty clear the advantages of adding these features to your hosting package.

A Private SSL – Secure Sockets Layer – Certificate is recommended for all sites that accept credit card payments or take customers personal information, as it provides your site with the extra security required to protect such details.  A Private SSL keeps all the information sent from your site to your host’s server confidential by encrypting it and activating the secure lock in your web browser.

If you think your site requires a Private SSL Certificate then you will also need a Dedicated IP.  This will mean that your site is the only one on the internet using that unique IP number.  A Dedicated IP is a necessity for most large websites or ecommerce enabled sites.  If you website is business orientated and you are planning on a merchant account, Just Host would highly recommend that you purchase a Private SSL Certificate and a Dedicated IP.

Both Private SSL Certificates and Dedicated IPs are now available to purchase from Just Host as part of your plan.  If you would like any further information about either please email us.

Just Host have been awarded FindMyHost.com’s Editor’s Choice award for Budget Web Hosting for September 2008. FindMyHost.com explain the reasons for their choice:

“For a relatively new host on the block, we were impressed with how well Approved Host testing concluded. The ‘last hosting plan you’ll ever need’ is essentially that, everything you’ll need for your hosting needs. It was also important to note that our tests on support (both 24/7 live chat and toll free) were met with friendly staff who were eager to assist and resolve our queries.

Congratulations to Just Host on winning the FindMyHost.com Editors’ Choice Award!”

As well as awarding Just Host with this great web hosting award, FindMyHost.com have also published their interview with me where I talk about Just Host as a company, what we offer our customers, why we are a competitive web host and where we think the web hosting industry will be in 3 years time.

Just Host would like to say a big thank you to our friends at FindMyHost.com for yet another web hosting award, thanks guys!

Just Host is definitely on a roll, we have just been awarded another Unix Hosting Provider award from Web Host Directory for September 2008!  This is our third Unix web hosting award in 2 months and we are rather chuffed with it.  We are really happy to be recognized in such a competitive area and we would like to say thank you to Web Host Directory for giving us this award for the second month in a row.
 
I must admit when I entered the hosting industry I had no clue what Unix hosting was so I feel the need to ask and answer the question - What is Unix hosting?

Unix is the most commonly used hosting platform for web hosts due to the fact that it has no license fees attached to it and it is the cheapest of all the platforms available.  It is a multi-user, multitasking, open source operating system, so anyone who wants to look at the code and change it is free to do so.  This was the main aim behind Unix, when it became the first open source operating system that could be improved or enhanced by anyone.

When you spend as much time on the internet as we do at Just Host, the launch of a new web browser is a rather big deal.  Google Chrome is the latest addition to Google’s catalogue of applications and adds another horse to the current race between Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera. 

Since it’s launch in 1995 Internet Explorer has been the standard browser for all PCs and has held the market share for those 13 years.  It took 9 years for a real competitor to enter the market and Mozilla Firefox’s developer friendly attitude helped it to rise up the browser ladder and some may even say it’s now right on the heels of IE. The introduction of a new web browser from such an established name as Google will really spice up this market, but what does Google Chrome have to offer that the others don’t?

A noticeable difference is that a new tab is not a blank page like the other browsers, as well as listing your recent bookmarks you are also shown screenshots of your most visited sites for quick access. The ability to add specific web pages as a shortcut on your desktop is also a great time saving tool. These tools may, however, all become irrelevant as we all get our chance to test Google Chrome and decide whether it really is a worthy competitor - time will tell whether Google can really do no wrong.
