I’ve posted something similar before but this is more fine-tuned-

I’m looking for a web hosting service with the functionability and easy design of Webs or Homestead, but with the pricing of HostGator or HostMonster. I want to create unlimited webpages for around $7 a month, but at a site that has many customizable templates like Homestead.

Homestead looks to cost $5/month. I do not see any restrictions on the number of pages you can have beyond agreeing to not “Excessively overload the Intuit systems used to provide the Services.”

Generally websites do not take a lot of resources on the host computer. Usually what they care about is traffic going in and out. So, if you become the size of [Amazon.Com](http://Amazon.Com) I doubt Homestead would be ok with that volume.

That said their website is maddeningly not clear on a lot of this.

Thanks, my friend is trying Just Host right now, so hopefully, that’ll work out.

Anyone have any experiences with it?

Since the OP is really looking for informed opinions, let’s move to IMHO.

We finally settled on JustHost. Been with them for a month & are pleased with the service.
