GoDaddy vs JustHost – An Update
It has been over a week now and all seems good with JustHost. I have found that the load times are a bit faster than with GoDaddy but the ability to change some of the DNS settings is limited.
Because I was integrating Google Apps into the domain, I needed to create a few CNAME records and add some MX records while deleting the default mail behaviours. With GoDaddy, this is a straight forward exercise and does not require any help desk intervention.
With JustHost, I could change the MX records easily but they do not support multiple entries with the same priority. A simple workaround was to create sequential priorities within a range grouping and this seems to be working well.
As for the CNAME records, I had to email support and they made the appropriate changes for me. This only took about 30min for them to do this and the propagation was complete within 2 hours.
Overall, I am very pleased with JustHost and will be adding new services here rather than GoDaddy in the future.
My existing sites will remain on GoDaddy as it will take too long to move everything across although I may move one of them because JustHost offer a porting service.
