Hi Remi,

I’ve never used JustHost myself but one customer did use them and had nothing but trouble with them. Some webhosts are just not suitable for anything other than basic HTML sites because they can’t provide the necessary resources, backup, technical support or customer care. GoDaddy falls into this category. JustHost appears to as well (though I’m only going on anecdotal evidence). I have read some bad things about JustHost in various forums – not related to SiteBuilder Elite but to running blogs on their webservers. If you have a hosting account with another webhost, use that for building SiteBuilder Elite sites or WordPress blogs.

The webhosts I recommend (because they’re tried and tested with SBE are): Hostgator, Hostmonster, Bluehost and Heroehost.

Here you only write about GoDaddy but I saw on your sales page that JustHost was also not recommended. Could you say more about them please as I use them and I want to know if it’s make or break as I intend to buy SB Elite. Thank you.

There’s no doubt that GoDaddy are a reputable company. However, their webhosting packages are not as good as those from other webhosts (you pay more for less). And their customer support leaves a lot to be desired (I speak from personal experience). GoDaddy is my domain registrar of choice though for .coms and .nets (.org domains are $5 cheaper elsewhere) because their coupons allow you to pick up a .com for about $7.70. Transferring a domain to another owner is easy too (if someone buys one of your domains). GoDaddy also run domain auctions and sell expired domains at http://www.tdnam.com and domains bought there are automatically transferred to your GoDaddy account, making the whole process simple and painless.

Good post. However, I am actually moving from Hostgator to my old host, Ubiquity who I find cheaper and give me unlimited space etc + a free domain. The service I have received thus far has been amazing. I agree with Srinivasan, it would be useful to get reviews on other hosting platforms.

I have been using the ixwebhosting for my fledgling sites. Though I have no knowledge of hosting or uploading the files. I just put up a new site with sitebuilderelite and it is running well.

It would be useful if you can review other hosting platforms like you have done for godaddy.

Hostgator provides a perfect service. The stuff is very friendly, helpful and they give you great support. I have a baby-account with them and I am very delighted how rapid they always answer my questions. I can highly recommend hostgator. I would never ever host scripts with another host. They are reliable and there is almost nothing hostgator cannot provide.

I have set up several websites with many differnt webhosts. Hostgator is the best one – and I must stress it, they give you great support.

To your success

Thanx 4 the grt info. Godaddy is my registrar and I do use them to host some minor sites. You are dead on when you mention their service; it is terrible most of the time. Just recently I have heard some real big guns in the IM world recommend Hostgator for similar reasons. I recently tried GVO but haven’t had time to really delve into it yet. It also provides an MLM slant to the business whereby you can earn income from GVO as well. Thanx again for your advice.

Thanks for making the truth so clear to understand! It’s true, due to their flashy advertising campaigns, GoDaddy seems like the choice for casual users who aren’t of the better values available. I was already using BlueHost when I ordered SiteBuilder Elite, and I’ve never had any reason to change. Their customer service, on the few occasions that I’ve needed to test it, has been outstanding and almost instantaneous. Plus, they do offer the IonCube support that we SBE users need too. I highly recommend them.
