Resource Usage
User may not:
Use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc
Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes
When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include("http://yourdomain.com/include.php") use include("include.php")
While our shared services are suitable for the bulk of our customers, there comes a time for some websites when they are better suited for a larger plan, which allows for more dedicated CPU and memory resources. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to discontinue service to any customer with a website or other hosted data that takes up more than 10% of the server resources and/or 10% of the server's CPU. This means that if your website is found to be utilizing more than 10% of the CPU and memory of the service, we reserve the right to take your site offline. If this becomes necessary, you can either upgrade your hosting package, or request a pro-rated refund of the amounts you have paid in advance for the services. Due to the severity of this, and our ability to act quickly to correct these situations to avoid server issues, we will do everything reasonably feasible to provide you with a warning prior to taking your site offline, but we accept no obligation to do so.

yep....but usually after someone uses the report button it will be brought to their attention.
I'm not so sure this thread breaks the rules, but it just seems unfair that someone can join wht to slate a company they have had no dealings with for the hell of it.

Wow, now that I have seen the reviews at webhostingreviews.com (link provided by AquariusADMIN at pg 1), I'm glad I didn't fall for all those review sites when I was signing up for my first web hosts.

justhost.com is a fraud
I'm in the process of choosing a web hosting company. I've also read some of these reviews and these guys were like one of the top 5 on a list I created according to various pros and cons.
Thanks for helping me out here!

More about justhosts
I went and got myself a really good deal on a web host. JUSTHOSTS.
I payed with paypal, and got an email from them telling me that I had done something wrong and that I should let them cancel the paypal payment and then go into the registration and re-do it all and pay with my credit card.And they would give me my hosting plan for half price!!(Sound familiar?
I contacted Paypal and it seems that justhosts are not verified with paypal and that paypal had sent them an 'echeque'which will take a wek to clear.
If I paid again maybe justhosts would get 2 bites at the cherry!
I have contacted paypal and at this moment it seems that I have to wait for justhosts to pay back my cheque out of the goodness of their hearts.
Then I found this forum and read all the previous posts with interest.
So I have now decided that I will wait and see if I get my hardearned back.
So next, I decided that as i'm on this forum, maybe they can advise me which hosts to choose from.
Guess what, I clicked on the 'Find a host' button at the top of the page to find a reputable host...........check out commercial web hosting..........
Moderator; please take note.
I believe I have been scammed as do the other guys in this thread, and many others will be if they are not stopped.

Supposedly Killikstoker has a point with the 'Find a Host' option, Click Shared Webhosting and you are greeted with the big and wonderful 'Top 10 Webhosts'.

This has been discussed before how they own several pretend review/award top 10 lists and put themselves as the #1 provider on those lists.
Search it up. Good marketing no doubt, seems like that's the only thing they are good at from the reviews being posted here on WebHostingTalk. Perhaps they should start focusing on customer service.
