This week I migrated a site for a client, from Heart Internet over to Just Host. In the process I found a few tidbits missing from the Just Host knowledge base, about server FTP and SSL details.

FTP everything in binary or it will strip all the whitespace out of your ascii transfers. PHP scripts stop working.

The Shared SSL on Just Host doesn’t work by default, you need to open a support ticket and make a request. They advise it will take up to 24 hours to work after that, and then your URL will be https://server.ip/~accountname.

Having this info would have saved me a bit of time, but the support was quite helpful and within an hour.
