Web Hosting blog from Just Host

This last year has been an amazing one for Just Host and we’d like to thank everyone that has helped us along the way to make it all possible. Back in December 2008 if I had been told in 12 months time Just Host will be hosting over 200,000 sites I wouldn’t have believed it for a second. It really has been a year to remember and I’d like to thank the whole Just Host team for all the hard work they’ve put in which has helped us achieve so much.

2010 will be a very exciting year for Just Host as we are putting every effort into expanding our services into new ventures like our Reseller Program. We are also constantly looking at new ways to improve our hosting for our existing customers so expect to see many new additions to our service in regards to features and support.

From everyone here at Just Host we’d like to wish all of our customers Happy Holidays and a very happy new year for 2010.

I’m proud to announce the launch of Just Host’s professional reseller hosting services. After a record breaking year in the shared web hosting market, we have now moved into reseller hosting and have launched with a bang as we’ve set our pricing and specifications to compete with all the current major reseller hosts.

We are renown for offering affordable shared web hosting with superb uptime and support and we hope to carry this forward with their new reseller hosting plans. Reseller hosting is the obvious move for any shared web host who has built up a name for themselves as a reliable host. People buying reseller services are very much in the know about web hosting and their success is in our hands they are relying on our infrastructure to provide a first class service to their customers. With this in mind we are confident that Just Host can become a major force in the reseller hosting market”

The reseller plans we’ve chosen have a vast list of features that are sure to impress new and existing customers, these features included a free eNom domain reseller account, a choice of free billing systems, WHM for full account management and unlimited free cPanel accounts. All of these tools will be vital to resellers looking to set up their own web hosting business.

Just Host’s reseller program consists of four plans, each with four term options to suit all budgets. The plans start from as little as $19.95 per month for an impressive 75GB of disk space and the top end of the scale they offer unlimited space and bandwidth plans for $89.95 per month. All of their plans come with the well know WHM and cPanel control panels and a wealth of extra features for both the reseller and their hosting customers. We’ve also chose to include extra features such as a free domain with each account, the ability to host unlimited sites in each control panel and private nameservers for each reseller which places us in a very competitive position when it comes to reseller hosting.

Downtime can be frustrating enough for any webmaster let alone when the source of the problem is unknown. Hopefully your website won’t experience much downtime but in preparation of a worst case scenario, we have compiled a list of some of the most common error codes along with their meaning so you can find a solution to the problem and get your website back online in no time.

Client Error Codes:

400 Bad Request

The HTTP request was rejected due to a syntax error within the request.

403 Forbidden

The server was unable to serve the requested data.

404 Not Found

The page you are trying to access no longer exists or never has existed.

Communications between the server and client were taking too long so the server closed the socket. This could be due to load or bandwidth issues with the server.

Server Error Codes:

502 Bad Gateway

Our first from WebHostingClue.com who explain they are, “glad to give [their] yearly “Best Web Hosting” award to Just Host. This award is only granted to the web hosting companies who have consistently proven themselves with the reliable affordable product and professional customer support.
