Both also offer an extensive online help center with articles, news, and video tutorials. However, the JustHost help center is a little more user-friendly and offers more articles and tutorials.

Side by side these companies compare pretty closely. Both have a great price and offer an outstanding plan for the money paid. Both have outstanding customer service, but JustHost takes an edge with a better online help center. Both also have stellar guarantees. But the tipping point goes to JustHost with their free domain renewal for life as long as you remain a customer. For these reasons JustHost gets our recommendation.
