We have been hosting with justhost for sometime, so far the experience is ok. A good cpanel hosting with good price, that is what we think about justhost hosting. Unfortunately, recently our justhost review site had been hacked in again, and site planted with downloader virus. This is not the first time we encounter this, and we view it as high severity.
When we visited our website today, our computer antivirus detected a virus downloader that attacking firefox web browser. Fortunately, the virus get detected and clean away. The virus defination is “JS/Downloader.Agent”. The question is how this virus get into our web space. Definately, there is some vulnerability on the hosting server. We already have strong password for cpanel, ftp and wordpress login.
For today, we think justhost sucks alot. Unsecure server is bad for any website, not to mention ecommerce website that carry out online commerce world wide. You don’t want to prompt your customer with virus downloader alert and ask them to clean it.
We already clean our hosting space once again, deleting everything from our web files folder, hopefully remove the virus infection. And now, we are managed to clean it, and website back to normal without the downloader.
For the price $3.45/mo, we are hoping for secure web hosting services, and justhost need to improve on this. For twice our justhost website get hacked in, and this is annoying. Justhost sucks? Yes it is!

I am inclined to agree as of now. I have been with JustHost for some time and have been recently hacked 3 times within the past few months. I, as well, use extremely strong passwords and know that the security breach is not on my end.

I had my site DNS results on search engins hacked today. Justhost.com said that its $69.95 for a secure SSL site. They said a shared secure site doesn’t work. Then said it did work.
This is pissing off my customers. If they don’t respond quickly with details and a corrective action plan I have to go elsewhere.
What makes me upset is that the justhost.com site says my site comes with SSL .
So justhost.com please get to correcting my issue asap

My site DNS is hijacked. The technician acts like this is the first time he’s ever heard of such a thing. I said Google my company name and click a link.
The reply is that he does not submit websites to search engines. Clearly this is not the question I posed.
Then I cannot get access to the site. Asked for a password refresh and it took over an hour. The user ID and password do not work. I even cut and paste twice.
odd that you cannot get a new password instantly and get on with solving issues.
If I don’t get a good reply I’m just packing up and going to another host like Godaddy.com with secure at low cost. Not another $69.95 like this guys. LOL I am not!

I recommend going to another host. These guys just said we fixed it and wait 2-3 WEEKS! Forget that.
I’m switching over to Godaddy.com I think. Good price and secure.

Yep.. I’ve NEVER had my sites hacked on other cPanel host, but since I’ve been at JustHost it’s happened twice in 2 months!! I’m tired of it.. I’ll be moving my sites asap!! Don’t use JustHost.. you will be hacked!

Follow up from JustHost.com tech. All my files have CORRECT file permissions and I have strong passwords.. yet they still say its my fault ?!?! Terrible.. here’s the reply from the tech:
–
Victor: To prevent the hacking attempts
Victor: suggest you to change the password of your email accounts, control panel, mysql databases, etc., Also if you have turned on the anonymous ftp, then please turn it off.
Victor: Also please make sure that you assign the correct permissions to your files/folders, so nobody can access/edit them other than you.
Victor: You need to upgrade all the applications you are using on your website to the latest version.
Victor: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Victor: Shall I proceed to close this chat session, if there is nothing to discuss?
Victor: You are most welcome!!
Victor: Thank you for visiting Hosting Support. Should you have any queries or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Victor: Have a nice day!! Good Bye.
