I am on shared hosting, by JustHost.com. This service has not given me any issues, customer support is very good. When I’ve contacted them about something, I get a response within 20-30 minutes. So, mostly I’ve had no issues, and the loading time for my site is fine. It acts up a little, but not much, not any more than what you would expect from a shared host.
They offer a sort of gimmicky sign up, with unlimited everything, I’ve yet to find that limit, but perhaps I will some day if I get too much traffic.
I admit, I’m a noob when it comes to web hosting, and there’s so many options out there I basically just chose one. My experience has been limited to playing with MySQL databases and PHP on free hosts.
Recently, I found this information about JustHost here.
Apparently, they went as far as to create a fake website with them at the top, here. If you look at the website, JustHost.com you see that they are proudly displaying their fake badge.
I found this more comical, than upsetting really. Like I said, for my purpose I don’t really care so long as it “works”.
It seems as if a lot of shared web hosting providers are using the same tactics, so it’s nothing new. (well, it’s new to me) Hopefully someday I will be able to go on a dedicated host, I’m really not impressed with shared hosts, not JustHost specifically, but all of them. I may be on a dedicated host sooner than I think, because my traffic has been increasing day by day. Perhaps I’m just giddy and want to try out a dedicated host. I wish I could, but I’m not sure I can afford it. I might try out a cheap dedicated host in the near future for a month or two.
I’m posting this in the tutorials section as well, because I believe it is a tutorial to understanding shared host gimmicks.
