Just Host With Us brings you reliable web and streaming media hosting
There are most web hosting companies than car dealerships in the world, and yet it can be difficult to find one you're happy with. You want a web host that can deliver a reliable service and be there for you when you need support and not deliver excuses or blame you for any problem you might experience. You can search for web hosting horror stories and you'll find months of reading material.
I spent years moving from host-to-host after dealing with one issue or another, one of which resulted in a significant financial loss twice due to a security breach on one host's network. That's why I started hosting for family and friends in 2013. I'm not one of the big players. I don't pretend to be nor do I want to be. I want to provide a reliable service and that's exactly what I do.
I'm not a reseller. The services listed here are what I provide and personally support. If you have a problem, you can reach me through the support system, email, or even by telephone upon request.
Still interested? Great! I have three web hosting packages and nine stream hosting packages to choose from. Please contact me if none of them suit your needs or budget. I'm more than happy to provide a custom package for you!

Streaming Audio Hosting
Nearly every person I've discussed streaming plans with felt their programming was going to be so popular they didn't feel the plans they were seeing online would be sufficient. There are likely far more streaming stations online than there are web hosting providers. Is it possible you'll produce quality programming that will attract listeners in droves to your stream? Absolutely! My advice for choosing a streaming plan is the same as it is for web site hosting. Start small and upgrade as needed.
People most frequently ask if they should choose Icecast, Icecast-KH, or SHOUTcast. Keep things simple and choose Icecast-KH. I offer SHOUTcast for those who feel they just have to have it. Icecast is a far better choice for many reasons, but the primary reason I recommend it is because it supports HTTPS streaming without additional licensing. SHOUTcast charges an additional monthly fee to enable HTTPS streaming with SHOUTcast DNAS. HTTPS streaming is a requirement these days. Many platforms won't stream your station unless it's an HTTPS stream. Save yourself some money and stick with Icecast.
Quality is everything, but do you really need a 320kbps stream? The average listener won't be able to tell the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps. I recommend going with 128kbps if your stream will contain a lot of music. If not, save yourself some money and go with 64kbps. MP3 streaming is the most widely supported, but AAC is a higher quality codec you could use if the platforms your stream will be on support it.
Streaming services are not automatically provisioned at this time. The provisioning module for MediaCP isn't working but I hope to have that resolved soon. I will, however, provision your account myself the moment I see your order.

If you can't find the answer you are looking for our support is just an email away.
I have been providing reliable services since 2013.
There's no such thing as "unlimited" in the world of hosting. You certainly could go with one of the hosting companies offering "unlimited" resources and you might be happy with their service. The reality is that "unlimited" isn't the entire truth and is purely a marketing tactic. Unless you're paying for a dedicated server, you're sharing the resources of a server with a number of other users who were also promised "unlimited" resources. Every hosting company has its own guideline as to how many users to place on a single server, so you might be on a server with several hundred users or more! Your odds of having a bad neighbor end up being pretty high and the performance of your hosting account can suffer. The article “Unlimited” Web Hosting – Busting The Myth is a good read if you want more information.
My servers are virtual servers with scalable resources I lease from a provider whose specialty is providing the world's highest-quality cloud server infrastructure with a 100% uptime SLA. It costs more than similar solutions or maintaining my own hardware, but it allows me to provide the best service possible by having fast servers with resources I can scale up or down as needed and leaving the worries of hardware maintenance/replacements and data connectivity in capable hands. I price my services in such a way that I can host a limited number of accounts on a single server and cover my costs while providing the best service possible.
I don't resell services because I don't have any control over those providers. Problems with other providers would reflect poorly on me, not to mention the fact that it would take away from focusing on the services I offer.
I accept payment via PayPal and credit/debit card (via PayPal). My goal is to start accepting cryptocurrency payments in 2023.
I personally provide support via ticket, email, and telephone.
No. I don't resell services and it's been my experience that registering a domain name with your web hosting provider is a bad idea. There are many registrars out there you can go to directly.
No. All hosting accounts here include free Let's Encrypt SSL. You may have seen some articles claiming Let's Encrypt isn't sufficient. Don't believe it! In a nutshell, SSL means the connection is encrypted and private. For more information, see this article for an in-depth explanation.
I have many security mechanisms in place to prevent intrusions and provide a service suitable for small and medium ecommerce web sites but other factors, including the code used for your site, can put your customer data at risk. I recommend you utilize a third-party payment gateway for financial transactions. I highly recommend Shopify if you're looking for an all-in-one ecommerce solution.
Absolutely not!
