JustHost.com refuses to give refunds
I used JustHost for a few months, and there was not one single month where the payment went smoothly. Their end goal was to get a credit card on file. At first I paid with PayPal, but JustHost 'lost' the money and my site was taken down for non-payment. I was asked to set up a PayPal subscription instead, but they failed to charge it and took my site down for non-payment. Then I was told that PayPal was unreliable and to enter a credit card. After failing to charge this properly two months in a row, my site was again taken down. I decided to find another host. I was told by JustHost that I could not get back into my control panel to get the latest backups of my database unless I paid $150 to be moved to a dedicated server. I'm not kidding -- I have the emails. I refused and after five hours of escalating, I was given access to my files and database again for one hour. In this time, my credit card was successfully charged for another month of hosting despite me saying multiple times to their billing dept. that I was canceling my account. While being reassured that I would get some of this money back, pro-rated for the 80% of the month I wasn't using, I changed my credit card information in my profile. There is no way to DELETE a card, so I changed the number, expiration date, and security code to fake numbers and expired dates. I had no trust that JustHost would not continue to charge me. Turns out I was right, as 15 days later I was charged for another month's service. I had no access to their servers, I had emails from billing insisting my account was canceled and my first refund was on its way, and I had apologies from support for the attempted extortion. No matter, they billed me anyway. And what they billed was the OLD credit card data, not the revised data I had entered! JustHost not only 'accidentally' charges you a few times extra, but they save old credit card data and try those accounts if the current one entered doesn't work. I ended up with an NSF fee since I was expecting a refund, not a charge. JustHost refused to cover that $30, of course. I have since received a refund for one month but not the other, and I have absolutely no way to stop them charging me again, short of closing my bank account. JustHost repeated multiple stupid errors, charged me money for services they admit I canceled long ago, proved that they save and use credit card info you try to delete, and their customer service never says anything except 'we're sorry, that has been fixed' even though you always find out later it's NOT fixed. I have dealt with most big hosting companies at one time or another, and JustHost is by far the worst. The only reason they're a 'player' right now is because they let people pay month-to-month instead of requiring a multi-month signup -- there's no initial outlay to get hosting. It is NOT worth it, though. Check Google for other reviews of JustHost -- you will find many more people with stories like mine.

Incompetence
I have been trying to renew my domain name for almost 2 weeks with this company. I cancelled my hosting services with them one year ago due to the fact that their staff can barely speak english and their level of service was poor. I did not switch domains because the hosting company I switched to did not offer that service. They now claim that they do not offer domain services without hosting and will not release my domain name so that I can register with another company which means my company website is down. If you have a billing question or issue... do not hold your breath. They will get back to you in a timely fashion, however, they will not resolve the issue in a timely fashion. I have contacted this company numerious times and its a merry-go-round. I would not referr them to anyone. They have sent me a total of four emails stating the same thing. Do not trust your business domain with this company.

fee robbing
I purchased 3 year web hosting service from Justhost.com, which was rated highly on some other website. But it turned out to be such a disaster! My domain name had to transfer from the previous host to the new one but Justhost.com was helpful at all. They just delayed the process of transfer. As a result, I lost £113, without receiving any service what so ever and they don't refund either, which they initially candidly promised! Such a lier. If you don't want to experience what I experienced with Justhost.com, I'm sure you know what you shouldn't do!

Stay away
I was purchasing ad-on domain from 'Justhost.com', a web-host company, but their software cut off suddenly, when the software went back on, they had already registered the unfinished domain name and charged me on the charge card they had on record. I asked for refund on this incomplete wrong domain name which I could not use, they refused and referred me to the 'Agreement'. Every explanation by my emails received the same "We don't refund" answer despite the fact that I pointed it out to justhost that the agreement did not specify that customer were required to pay for justhost's software problem. Justhost never responded to the software problem, they kept referring to the agreement alone. Slick sly and arrogant move ! ! I finally informed them that they had to stop acting like robots, they then sent me a website title where black-listed consumers are reported, they planned to report me to this website ! ! ! ! ! !

I then reported the matter to Better Business Bureau. BBB then sent me a copy of justhost's reply to say that they would not give refund ! But this answer had nothing to address my complaint, and BBB asked me if that were satisfactory, if not, I should rebut in a week or else the matter will not finished. There we have two sets of robots instead of the original one ! BBB should have asked justhost to respond to the complaint, no use BBB sending me the same answer that justhost already sent to me a thousand times which had nothing to do with the complaint ! BBB at least should ask justhost : "What about your software problem that you never addressed ?"

Takes money then runs
I paid Justhost.com $71.00 via paypal to host my new website. My paypal account was charges and I never received notification concern the listing procedure. When I contacted them I was given the runaround about transferring me to several departments all saying they can not communicate by phone claiming breach of security. However the also acknowledge the did not have my email file on file so when I emailed them as I was asked to do. I only got an email back from them saying they can not find my account. No such email. I called again and was hung up on several times. I spoke to Tony in support and he very rude and hung up like the rest. I called paypal and filed a dispute. Shortly after the dispute was filed. I received call from Sam in sales saying if I cancel the dispute they will set my account up. I asked that he refund my money and I would start the process all over. Because if I cancelled the dispute I could not open it again. He refused and here I am. These people are not to be trusted in my books. Should you decide to use them the bbb Better Business Bureau first. There's a lot of complaints there.

Deceptive Advertising & Unathorized Charges
I signed up for a simple website with JustHost.com because they advertise Free Instant Set-Up and NO HIDDEN FEES. I worked on my site for 3 days and never could make sense out of their setup features. Never added any services. I got fed-up with it after 4 days and cancelled my agreement with them. That same day they charged my account for a total of $61.54. I wrote them since they also advertise a "Cancel Anytime".

What a joke! First of all: I had to have the original Welcome Letter in order to start the refund process. I keep everything, so I had that. They had charged me for "Faster Server". Now, why in the hell would I order a "Faster Server" when I couldn't even build a website?

After their "NON-REFUNDABLE fees were deducted I got $7.95 refunded.

Evidently they have their web building set-up whereby you can add more services without even knowing it.

Stay away from JUSTHOST.COM. THEY ARE A RIPOFF!

Hosting Sucks
Justhosh.com Sucks and Fraud.

I have been with then for over 3 months and first the issue is the server keeps going down and then the name server has allways issues with domains and keeps not responding. Few weeks back all the domains go hacked and no response from justhost.com and just today I came to my homepage and went to a landing page and when I asked why, they told me that its a hard drive issue. Lost all my emails and now lost all my content. One of the worst hosting company

Rip off, webUNhosting
I am SO angry and frustrated with this company. I cannot begin to describe their incompetence and scamming. I signed up for domain name registration, 6 months hosting + domain privacy. That was beginning of June, as of yet my site still doesn't work.

I have had over 30 emails from support with the most ridiculous and downright stupid advice I have ever had, technical experts my foot. All these people do is search on google and send you a link! Keep telling me my ftp isn't set up correctly, which it is, in fact ftp works fine. Then it was that my web pages weren't uploaded to my public_html directory, yes they are, I sent them proof of that. However site STILL wont work.

The outsourced support is frustrating. These people DO NOT know what they are doing. I for one am getting really fed up with everything being outsourced to India. They are not technical experts, they can't even speak English very well. When I pay for a service with what I believe is a UK company I expect them to at least speak my language.

As for a refund, I have requested a cancellation 4 times and cannot get a response. They just keep emailing back "tell us your problem and we will help you", it's the exact same problem, it hasn't changed then they send back the exact same stupid response "here is a link on how to set up ftp host", arrrrgggggghhh!

Can't get a refund
I signed up with JustHost.com since the monthly fee was reasonable. On the page where you key in your payment information a box pops up and hides the total you are being billed for. You must hit submit at this point and then you realize you got charged for a 3 year period instead of 1 month.

I then requested a refund and they refused to refund all my money. I called them and the english was terrible (outsource). They charged me a $20 fee, refused to refund $48 for search engine application and took them 4 days to finally get me the correct information to even process my refund.

It's a scam. I would never use this company again.

Support and Refund- False Advertizing
Justhost.com Advertizes a money back guarentee however one day setting up our new web site we had to contact theeir support team. We found that the folks could barely speak english. The were the most rude people I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. When I told the person that was on the phone with me I didn't care for his treatment of me and attitude .The support team told me if I didn't like there method you can cancel and hung up.
We I tried to cancel we were told by Kathy Ovens Billing Representive that there would be a $20.00 non refundable charge. We aggreed that they may with hold the $20.00
When the refund statement came back it was $71.00 not $20.00. These people are scam artist - It cost me $71.00 for 8 hrs .
