SiteCloud vs JustHost
Cloud hosting is the new wave in the web hosting industry. Many web hosts are attempting to deliver affordable cloud server technology to their clients which was once only affordable to giant corporations. But while most cloud hosting companies are still charging $30, $50, or more per month for cloud hosting, SiteCloud is a newer web host that has found a way to bring cloud hosting that is as affordable as shared hosting.
JustHost is another newer company started in 2008. Their brand of shared-server web hosting comes at an affordable price, plus they deliver a great deal of value for their product.
So which one is right for you? Should you choose cloud hosting? Or should you stick with shared hosting with all the features included? We take a look at the features and extras offered by both companies and provide you with our recommendation below.

The SiteCloud web hosting plan is just $4.95 per month.
JustHost brings their plan to their clients for a similar price of just $4.45 per month.
