How to get a justhost discount?

Yes they are. Follow 90% of the routes back to the servers & you'll find out where they're all located, owned by the same company. Remember EIG bought HostGator, which is being moved to BlueHost, which is HostMonster, JustHost etc etc. All the people who jumped ship from the other companies, especially BlueHost, are being moved right back with a so called "upgrade".

It's been this way for YEARS however, people don't want to hear it or believe it just because the website is different.

Sorry, but you really have idea what you're talking about.

EIG has 3 sub-companies, but make no mistake, EIG still pulls the strings and makes the big decisions.

JustHost and all the other vDeck companies are nothing more than the same host with different names. Fatcow and JustHost, for example, are the same host, same datacenter, same support, etc. This is the core of EIG, and after the Netfirms fiasco (2011), I think they've finally stopped forcing vDeck on users.

Hostgator is being merged into the "newer" cPanel hosting, the post-vDeck era, which is Bluehost, HostMonster, etc. Right now, the same datacenter, hardware, etc. In time, I'd estimate support will be merged too. Bluehost has a bad reputation for crippling a lot of cPanel functionality, such as the inability to make your own backups (and thus move hosts).

The final one is ASO (ASmallOrange), the newest acquisition, with about 5-6 "brands" (all ASO hosts; same support, datacenter, etc). Early complaints are already starting to come in, and I expect it will be decimated when HG is done. This one will likely go away, being the smallest, merged into BH and/or HG at some point.

That's EIG m.o., and has been for 10+ years now. They're any equity-owned corporate monster, and maximize profits by cutting costs. It reminds me of Mitt Romney's way of "doing business" (screwing everybody, customers and workers alike, all in the name of getting a few bucks).

I'm not a host, I'm a customer. EIG has screwed me 3 times buying out my hosts, and then ruining the sites from their "upgrades" (botched migrations).

If anybody doubts this, then do some research.

You're entitled to your opinion, of course ... but to announce flatly that they're all "the same host" simply isn't accurate - sorry. And to insult people who dare to disagree with your perspective, when you're advertising a hosting affiliate site, yourself, in your signature file, really doesn't come across very well, either. When you don't even remove your sig-file from such posts, Warriors will doubtless draw their own conclusions about your motives and agenda, in this thread.
