Jumpline is a superb web hosting option, but it's not one for the budget conscious aspiring web entrepreneurs. Their prices start at $7.95 per month (with a yearly agreement) and goes up to $39.95 per month. You have the option of using two different control panels (Parallels Plesk Panel and cPanel) and can switch from one to the other whenever you want. Each control panel comes with its own set of features, so you're forced to determine whether or not you want more features with cPanel or enjoy what Parallels Plesk Panel has to offer. As an average user, having choice like this is a good position to be in.

Hosting Package:

Determining what you want in a hosting package with Jumpline is difficult because they offer eight different hosting packages for two types of control panels. Each one has a different set of feature from the other and the amount of features you get can change depending on what control panel you decide to use. If you want sheer bang for your buck, we recommend going with cPanel. There's not that much of a difference between the four plans. When you look at the Parallels Plesk Panel plans, you will see the Starter plan is rather limited and the features go up from there. More storage space and monthly bandwidth across the board would help all of the plans.

Ease of Use:

Jumpline's eight different plans make figuring out which one best suits you a difficult process. Once you start using the service however, it's a completely different story. Their software couldn't be any easier to use. To top it all off, they have an excellent customer service section that's able to help you with whatever questions you might have in a timely manner.

Support and Service:

In Jumpline's customer support section, they say they provide quick start guides, a knowledgebase, forums, video tutorials, third-party documentation and a Billing FAQ. You can contact them using their toll-free phone number or by submitting a support ticket. According to their website, they have been averaging a response time of less than four hours during the past six months.

Site Creation Tools:

Jumpline allows you to put photo galleries on your website, but they don't offer a site builder tool. You have to get up to the Advanced Plan to take care of their eCommerce options.

Server Access:

With the Starter Plan, you can have eight additional FTP accounts attached to your account. Everything is secure and easy to use.

Marketing Tools:

We couldn't find anything in their plans in terms of marketing tools.

Reporting and Statistics:

With Jumpline, you can access log files and analyze web page statistics. They don't offer many specifics in this area.

Summary:

There are a few reasons that you may want to go with Jumpline as your web hosting service. If you want the security and control benefits of a VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) solution, then this is the host for you. Also, if you opt to stay with Jumpline and grow into their larger plans, you can host multiple websites on one account provided they all fit within your data limits. On their highest plan, you can host an unlimited number of websites within your data limits. Jumpline also offers a 30-day money back guarantee.
