subject: Hosting Review - Ipage Hosting Vs Justhost [print this page] Justhost is a well known web hosting Company that offers tons of great features. They are highly affordable too. But what is the difference between ipage and justhost? How does the two compare? Which one should you choose? There are many similarities between the two.
Similar features
You receive a free domain from both ipage and justhost the moment you sign up. With a shared hosting plan, you get to enjoy unlimited bandwidth, unlimited domain hosting and more. Almost everything is unlimited (within reasonable usage of course), so you don't have to worry about exceeding your account limits. Sign up, choose a domain and you are ready to go. Well, not quite.
You will still need to setup a professional looking website to have an online presence. You can opt to hire a web designer to do that for you but that will cost you thousands of dollars. Or, you can use the simple click and go solution provided by both iPage and Justhost to install your own website. You can literally setup the entire website in a matter of minutes. Choose a free template. You can always buy a custom design template and install it later.
Support
Several years ago, we signed up with a hosting company that looks professional. They have a nice website and everything looks good. But when we run into problems, we realized that they don't have anyone manning the phone. Even live chat doesn't work! Eventually, we left them.
Support is important because you need someone to talk to if you encounter problems with your site. Both iPage and Justhost offer email support, online live chat as well as phone support. Support is on 24 by 7, so you will always have someone to talk to.
Uptime and server speed
We tested servers on iPage and Justhost and both run blazing fast servers. Expect fast loading times for your sites. Uptime is over 99.5% for both companies.
Pricing
Both offer plans that start from less than $5 a month. So the difference really isn't all that great. Of course, you would still want to buy from the Company with the best pricing. We recommend iPage (reasons below).
Free bonuses
Not all hosting companies offer free bonuses. As a new hosting customer, you get to enjoy a TON of freebies. How about getting $100 in Adwords credit? When we compare free bonuses between the two companies, iPage came up tops. They even offer free Facebook credits and Yellowpages listing.
Malware scan
Here is where iPage beats Justhost. They offer free malware scanning for all shared hosting accounts. This is a great bonus because the security service they offer is SiteLock. This service will cost you $9.99 per month if you are to sign up separately. As an iPage customer, you get it free!
