Domain Services

Just Host offers nearly every feature available in the domain services world, and they’re known for providing reliable, secure servers. They host international domains and can transfer them as well. Additionally, they allow site owners to have an unlimited number of domains on a single account, and they also allow unlimited add-on and parked domains with their hosting services.
Unlimited subdomains and unlimited FTP accounts also come with Just Host, and if your site needs a dedicated IP address (needed for sites requiring a secure connection), Just Host offers dedicated IP addresses for an additional fee. Dedicated IP addresses can be purchased when buying their SSL Pack package.
Just Host allows site owners to create as many email addresses as they’d like using their “domain.com” name. They can also allow clients to create an unlimited number of forwarding email addresses. Additionally, they allow an unlimited number of domains under one account, and provide an unlimited amount of GBs for domain transfers, which makes switching to their service considerably less stressful.

Their extended domain security features cost $9.95/year and are activated in the cPanel, which is the site’s control panel.
