Hiding ads and promo images in JustHost cPanel

As I have stated before in my JustHost review, JustHost is an excel­lent host­ing com­pany for most inter­me­di­ate web devel­op­ers. They pro­vide a great ser­vice at great prices, but let’s just say that they take mar­ket­ing their other ser­vices and fea­tures a lit­tle bit far. Even after you’ve paid for your ser­vices, JustHost’s cPanel is filled with lit­tle adver­tise­ments that get pretty annoy­ing. I really don’t like how they do this, but the way I look at it, it’s all good thanks to Grease­mon­key, an addon that allows you to mod­ify the way web­sites behave.

Before attempt­ing to remove the ads from your cPanel, you must make sure that you are using a com­pat­i­ble browser. As of now, Grease­mon­key is sup­ported in Fire­fox, Flock and Epiphany. There are equiv­a­lents for other browsers, this arti­cle focuses on doing it with Fire­fox. Google Chrome has native sup­port for GM, Opera 8 is capa­ble of run­ning scripts, and is able to make it hap­pen with Inter­net Explorer. Okay, here’s how it’s done:

1. 1. Assum­ing you already have Fire­fox installed, install the Grease­mon­key addon from the Fire­fox addon data­base. If you don’t have Fire­fox, down­load it here, or check out another sup­ported browser like Flock or Epiphany.
2. 2. Once the addon is installed, restart Fire­fox like you nor­mally would.
3. 3. Grab the cPanel cleanup script from Userscripts.org (by click­ing the install but­ton on the link provided)
4. 4. You’re good to go! You might see the ads in your cPanel for a split-second when you first load it, but GM will take care of it quickly.

If you have both Grease­mon­key and the user­script installed and the ads still exist, make sure it is enabled by right-clicking on the mon­key icon in FF and make sure that JustHost cPanel clean up is checked (in the menu). If a check is present and it’s not work­ing, go to man­age user scripts in the Grease­mon­key menu, click the cleanup script from the list and make sure that within the included pages area, those URLs match the actual URL of your cPanel.
