Used these guys to buy domains for over 15 years now. But of late they have deactivated my account and I had to spend hours getting it back, then 2 days later they say I'm buying fraudulent domains when they didn't even show up on my account, then they locked my account again which took another 2 hours of live chat to get sorted only to have 2 more domains show up on my account that I didn't buy. My advice stay well clear of this company as it is a headache to deal with, I will be moving all my domains from them to a more professional provider.
6 years ago I switched to Justhost from Bluehost. I set up a website that I did not used....3 years later when it was time to renew, I found out that my account was de-activated...without any notice, for no reasons... It took me days with the support to get it re-activated to be able to renew. 3 years later (2025), when it was time to renew, I found out that my account was de-activated...without any notice, for no reasons... It took 2 days chatting back and forth with the support to re-activate it. When they did, I realized they have activated mukti factor authentication on my account without my approval. As a result I was not able to log onto my re-activated account. Some more chatting with the support. At this point I decied to move my website to another hosting company. It took 3 more days chatting with the support to be able to transfer my domain name. Their EPP code was not working and the support guys didnt even know about what was written in their own website help section concerning the EPP code issue and how to solve it. De-activating an account without any notice is a big no-go and so is the ineexisting support.... Bye bye Justhost

Absolutely unreliable. Customer service is extremely disappointing and general hosting service has recently become unreliable.
I've used this company for years and they used to be very good. I recently had a problem and simply requested they roll back the site to their last backup. This used to be free as surely they only just have a button to press to achieve this. No longer free - now, and as far as I recall, completely unannounced - £100!!!! I wil not be renewing and felt that others needed to know about this change of policy.
We started using just host 14 years ago, but in the recent years they've increased their prices astronomically and their service customer support is atrocious, site keeps going down, or getting hijacked, go somewhere else to avoid disappointment and wasting your time
Terrible, terrible support! If you can sign up for a different hosting service, do it. I signed up for JustHost about 10 years ago to host my business website. They were among the most affordable options. But whenever I need support, I am being reminded how bad of a decision that was. I stopped receiving some critical emails. I found out that the JustHost server suddenly started blocking emails from an important sender that I cannot miss. I just spent 45min with their support chat (an agent named Nandan) and this was quite frankly one of most frustrated support experience I have had. Instead of acknowledging the issue when I showed him a screenshot of the rejected messages I am not getting, he sent me an email from his gmail account (which of course came through to my inbox) and claimed everything is fine. The chat ended with him essentially telling me to go away because everything is was working fine. Absolutely incredibly to treat customers this way after 10 years. I feel locked in... I am not technical and wouldn't even know how to move my stuff to a different company. But if you're reading this and haven't signed up yet, run! Don't make the mistake I make.
If your Website down it will take justhost 3 days to fix, so if your life or work depending on your emails then you will be without it for 3 days or more
JustHost completely lost a nearly 400 page web site. The CSR/bot kept repeating the same questions for over an hour to no avail. I am no pro. For me to have to recreate a 400 page web site will take a lot of time. Fortunately, this web site was not business related. By no means do I recommend trusting Just Host.
They refuse to produce VAT invoices. This appears to be in contravention of UK law, and they don't seem to mind - their excuse is that their systems can't cope with, so they just don't bother. As their is no VAT invoice, VAT can't be reclaimed, so in effect for business users that can reclaim VAT, their prices are 20% higher than they say they are.
I've been with Justhost over 15 years, and they used to be brilliant. Recently, all our business emails stopped functioning, unknown to me, my clients were not receiving my emails and thought I was ignoring them. I lost thousands of pounds in lost business, and some clients took their business elsewhere. For a long while, customers with Gmail accounts were not receiving my emails, which caused a headache, and I put it down to going into spam, but it turns out they just never received them at all. Having contact support through webchat, I was informed it was my SPF records and that they have fixed them and to wait 48 hours to propagate, all will be fine which it wasn't, all in all I spent almost 12 hours on and off to approx 10 members off support who had me answer the same questions over and over, giving the same cut and paste answers and that they have just changed my SPF records and give it another 48 hours. When I try and explain this is fourth time time they have done this, you get an answer such as "Glad we could help, please answer our questionnaire." and chat ended. I rang their support line in the US which is directed to the Philippines which cost me £60.00 for 20 minutes but found the same old I have just updated your SPF records and wait 48 hours, they don't care my business was being seriously affected. At the end of my tether, I paid a local IT company to look at my settings, and within 2 minutes, they explained that my emails were being routed incorrectly, they sorted it out within 1 minute and were shocked at how incompetent Justhost support are. Justhost Support haven't a clue what they are doing and all ten or more people I spoke to told me lies rather than admit they don't know what they are doing, The whole ordeal was extremely stressful and I am certain this bunch of lying, incompetent novices would still have me on the merry-go-round from Hell! I am in the process of having my website and emails transferred to the local company that helped me out and I strongly advise anyone reading this look elsewhere. I hope this company goes bust for all the damage they have caused my company and for the blatant disregard they have shown. Please avoid this company like the plague. They are cheap for a reason. Reading other reviews, I will make sure they are not able to take funds from my account come renual date. What a shambles
Looks like it's time to change having been with JustHost for many years. The servers are slow, so many timeouts / bad gateways. The Live Chat function is hit or miss. You can't buy or host .co.uk domains through them either. They advertise WordPress Live Chat but it doesn't exist (much preferred Weebly). They need to either evolve or disappear, so many competitors in this space now.
Terrible customer service. JustHost attempted to take over $500 from my account. No prior warning and cost had quadrupled overnight for no apparent reason. Then when I tried to leave they dragged out the process with no communication and overall made it very difficult to leave. I decided to leave as their overall service, cPanel and customer service has become appalling and had continually got worse over the last 3 years and it's very difficult to speak to someone. When they do, they never resolve the issue properly. Avoid!
In the years that I have been with JustHost it has never been an easy process to get hold of ANYONE over there in any timely fashion. But when I changed my domain name registrar to another business I have had nothing but trouble from a very uncooperative JustHost. Unbelievably limited communication skills, the humans you end up speaking with are very slow in responding to anything you write on their chat. Chat is the ONLY WAY in which you can contact the firm, and it is EXTREMELY LIMITED as the support personnel's ability to speak in English is very limited. My latest issue with Justhost is hopefully the last one, as it is very painful having to deal with anything that is not very basic and can easily be solved.
Very underhand. I am sure they were acting illegally. I accidentally left four of my Domain Names pointing at their Nameservers. They employed a 'Parking' company to build a page for each of the Domain names advertising things that I do not sell on Amazon. I effect Just Host hijacked my Domain Names to sell goods to benefit themselves. Why didn't they just email me and say "sorry but we have noticed your domain names are pointed at our Nameservers can you move them please?" A very disreputable company as you can see from the reviews here.
Hi all I made this mistake of paying them without talking to my web designer who told me they should not have sent me a bill for £359.00 as we had changed web host last year to site ground ! I spent 90 minutes on there chat as soon as I told them I needed it refunded that cut me of there chat ,on 28 October, I went back on this morning for 1 hour and explained I’m not happy with there service in any way they said they won’t refund me and cut me off again absolutely disgusting company avoid them !! Hope they see this ! Richard Poole
