Site5 Web Hosting Review
Overview
I've been hosting several of my websites with Site5 for about a year, while also using other providers. Here's my personal review of Site5 based on my experiences.
Why I Chose Site5
I discovered Site5 through the WebHostingTalk forums. At the time, I was looking for a reliable and reputable web hosting solution that was also affordable for my new websites. After reading numerous positive reviews about Site5, I decided to give them a try. With their 60-day money-back guarantee, I felt reassured that I could request a refund if their service didn’t meet my expectations. Initially, I used them for testing purposes, so the stakes were low.
Site5 Hosting Plan
Site5 offers two types of hosting plans: shared and reseller. I opted for the SuperHosting Extreme package, which included the following features:
- Disk Space: 8GB
- Bandwidth: 500GB
- Multisite Accounts: 5
- Unlimited: Domain pointers, FTP, MySQL
The package also includes Fantastico and cPanel, all for about $109 annually?"a pretty good deal at the time. Although this plan has been replaced by the Multisite Dynamite plan with increased disk space and bandwidth, you can get it for two years for only $149, which I consider a bargain.
Unique Features of Site5
One feature I appreciate is the multisite accounts. Each domain has its full-featured control panel, unlike other services that use domain pointers. This approach makes it easier to organize multiple websites, especially with numerous domains. You can also allocate disk space and bandwidth from the main pool of your account.
Another great feature is Flashback, which allows you to undo changes to your website. It’s invaluable when troubleshooting a broken site.
Areas for Improvement
While I recommend Site5, there are a few areas they could enhance. One issue I faced was with upgrading my plan to the Multisite Dynamite package. I had to transfer my data to a new server myself, which was cumbersome with 3GB of data and numerous FTP, MySQL, and email accounts. This is something their staff could have efficiently managed.
Another limitation is the inability to request more IP addresses, which can be beneficial for SEO purposes.
Conclusion
Overall, I recommend Site5 for its affordable hosting plans, good support, and high availability. Despite some areas for improvement, it remains a solid choice for those seeking cost-effective web hosting solutions.
