    A domain name registration bought from justhost.com was invoiced for nearly ten times the cost of the domain name registration [there exists justhosts.com, justhosts.co.uk, and also a justhost.co.uk, none of which have any connection to justhost.com , registered in the UK by Mr Brooke Bryan b.bryan@justhost.com address UK Head Office Unit A2, Segenworth Business Centre, Segenworth Road, Fareham, Hampshire PO15 5RQ UK : 'whois' also lists US and and Australian addresses]

    Is this inflation of a cost what others on this and other forums have referred to, an accumulating cost arrived at by a potential customer simply looking through the web site pages and buying less than what has actually been looked at?

    If this is indeed what is happening then it is a deception committed in pursuit of wrongfully debiting the bank account of another to credit one's own bank account. An act that is a blatant contravention of The Theft Act (UK) and such contravention is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. And where there is an offence 'all linked companies are to be treated as one' (The Theft Act) with all the officers of all companies suffering the same fate.

    Payment of the inflated cost has been blocked at the bank and any attempt by justhost.com to collect the total arrived at by such deception would indeed constitute an attempt (well documented) a conspiracy, to contravene the theft act.

    On the two occasions in the past when two different web hosts - streamline.net and fasthosts.co.uk - deceptively took money from me that they were not due, I threatened fasthosts.co.uk and all officers leading up to United Internet AG (of '1 & 1' or 'Eins und Eins' fame) the owners of both mentioned above, to seek The Chief Constable of Gloucester's assistance to indict for contravention of The Theft Act - needless to say I got every penny back post haste : I did actually write and ask The Chief Constable of Derbyshire to assist me in indicting ******, then owner of streamline.net, but was satisfied when all money wrongly taken was bounced back into my account almost immediately.

    I still wait to see if I will be writing to yet a third, Alex Marshall, Chief Constable of Hampshire - Fareham is in Hampshire, and to accord with UK law it is where the offence is committed that determines which Chief Constable you contact : and anyone can write, and all CCs details are online. This is white all 'distance sellers' must provide an address to conform to the UK Distance Selling Statute (Was it not good of the last UK government to put all the laws up for googling?)

    The post to which you are replying is just over two years old, so one hopes that the poster has found an answer by now!
  • For me, just host is also a better host. Affordable and they have good features as well, there might be time that you may read some bad comments about them, but such comments are case to case basis. Thus, I conclude that the satisfaction of every clients depends on the way they understand the features attached to the package they acquire and the assistance that the customer service can offer to address all their problems and concerns.

    No such thing as unlimited hosting. Which is what JustHost are trying to sell.
  • I'm not sure if justhost would be a good choice.That web host have a pretty bad reputation.
  • I spent weeks making my website, hosted by Justhost. I was impressed by their support, but didn't read the small print. I believed the 'unlimited storage' advertising, but it is VERY limited.
    I thought that uploading some simple MP3's for sale on my site would be 'normal' but apparently you are not allowed to put any multi-media, audios, or MP3s on the site at all.

    I now have to find another host and don't believe any advertising that says 'unlimited' storage!

    Or I could upgrade to a dedicated server, which is what they suggest, at $149 per month!!:eek:

    They aren't going to let pirates get away with that , if they are mp3s of your self all well and good, if they are ones you have purchased and are trying to sell them it would currently be illegal in the UK
