Just Host reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at our sole discretion. Any material or conduct that in our judgment violates this AUP in any manner may result in suspension or termination of the Services or removal of content with or without notice.

    Failure to respond to a communication from our abuse department within the specified time period in our communication to you may result in the suspension or termination of the Services.

        1. Accessing another network without permission, including to probe or scan for vulnerabilities or breach security or authentication measures;
        2. Attacking other networks (e.g., utilizing botnets or other means to launch Denial of Service (DoS) or other attacks);
        3. Intercepting or monitoring data without permission; or
        4. Using any deep-link, page-scrape, robot, crawl, index, spider, offline reader, click spam, macro programs, internet agent, or other automatic device, program, algorithm or methodology, to use, access, copy, index, acquire information, generate impressions or clicks, input information, store information, search, generate searches, or monitor any portion of Just Host's website or servers for any unauthorized purpose.
      4. Storage of Backups. You may not use your hosting account as a backup solution. Our Services are designed to host your website only and may not be used as a data repository. Just Host reserves the right to remove backups from your hosting account with or without notice.

      5. Websites hosted on Just Host's servers in the U.S. are generally governed by U.S. law. As a web host, Just Host is not the publisher of user generated content and we are not in a position to investigate the veracity of individual defamation claims. Rather, we rely on the legal system and courts to determine whether or not material is defamatory. In any case in which a court of competent jurisdiction, as determined in Just Host's sole discretion, orders material to be removed, Just Host will disable access to such material.
      6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Just Host users are responsible for using the Services in compliance with applicable laws in their jurisdiction, including without limitation, any laws relating to defamation, unsolicited emails, spamming, privacy, obscenity, and intellectual property infringement. Just Host reserves the right to take local legal considerations into account and to respond accordingly in Just Host's sole discretion.
      7. Enforcement of this AUP is at Just Host's sole discretion.
    3. Reporting Violations. To report a violation of Just Host's AUP, please email compliance@JustHost.com. To report an infringement of intellectual property or other proprietary rights, please email legal@JustHost.com.

    Free Domain Policy

    Qualified plans include a free domain registration for 1 year. The free domain registration will only apply to certain top level domain names. If you decide to cancel your account, you will be charged a $15 fee, this ensures you get to keep your domain. Note: Once you complete your registration with Just Host, you will not be able to transfer your domain for 60 days.

    Usage Policy

    How much disk space and bandwidth is included with my plan?

    For packages supporting unmetered disk space or data transfer (bandwidth), we do not have defined limitations. These resources are "unmetered", meaning you are not billed according to the amount of disk space or bandwidth used. While of course these resources are not infinite, we believe our customers should have all the resources necessary to build an online presence and 99.95% of customers will have more than enough disk space and bandwidth to meet their needs.

    Just Host offers several plans with both limited and unmetered disk space. We let you choose the best option for your needs and budget.

    That said, we do require all customers to be fully compliant with our Terms of Service and utilize disk space and bandwidth in a manner consistent with the normal operation of a website. While rare, we occasionally constrain accounts utilizing more resources than should be the case in the normal operation of a personal or small business website.

    How do you determine "normal" operation?

    We regularly examine customer bandwidth and disk space utilization data in a series of statistical analyses and use the results to define "normal". Although these tests vary from month to month, one thing remains constant: 99.95% of our customers fall into "normal" range. If your account's bandwidth or disk space utilization causes any concern, you will receive an email asking you to reduce usage. We strive to provide at least 48 hours notice to allow customers to make adjustments before we take any corrective action.

    It is very rare for a customer to exceed normal usage while managing a website. Typically, customers only experience issues if they use their accounts for storage (for example large multimedia files) or file sharing. Our hosting services are not intended to support these activities, and in accordance with our Terms of Service your disk space and bandwidth usage must be integrated into the normal operation of a website. We offer various plans that better address high bandwidth and large storage requirements. Please contact us for details.

    What constraints exist on websites, domain names, or email?

    For plans or packages featuring unlimited websites, domains, or email accounts, we do not enforce any official limitations. Customers are able to utilize as many of these features as they wish. That said, these are of course not infinite resources and there are inherent maximums associated with the technology powering them. For example, while email account creation is unlimited, these rely on the file storage available on the account. Therefore customers need to be operating within the Terms of Service to ensure resources are available to fully enable email functionality. Customers operating within the Terms of Service have yet to come up against technical boundaries for email, domains, or websites.

    30-Day Hosting Money-Back Guarantee

    The promotional price is for the first term only and plans renew at the regular rate. Your satisfaction is our top priority and we're confident you'll be pleased with our services. Still, if you try us and decide your account does not sufficiently meet your needs, you can cancel within 30 days for a refund as follows.

    • If you cancel within 30 days you receive a full refund on your hosting service only. The money-back guarantee does not apply to most add- on products, such as domains, given the unique nature of their costs.
    • If you cancel within 30 days and your plan includes a free domain, Just Host will deduct a non-refundable domain fee of 15.99 from your refund. This not only covers our costs, but ensures that you won't lose your domain name. You may transfer it to another registrar or simply point it elsewhere at your convenience. Please note newly registered domains cannot be transferred to another registrar during the first 60 days of the registration period. You retain ownership of your domain until the end of its registration period unless you choose to not renew the domain.
    • Just Host does not offer any refunds for cancellations that occur after 30 days.
