They have a lot of clientele and serve them through a variety of plans and types of web hosting. They not only provide basic web hosting solutions for individuals and small businesses but also highly sophisticated services like virtual and dedicated plans and co-location hosting. Site5 has an impressive customer support and very strong network connections. Their plans are packed with features and come loaded with loads of bandwidth. They started as a small company reselling from one shared account and today they are one of the industry leaders operating over 100 servers and a privately owned network.

Hosting Plan and features

Site5 offers feature rich Unix based solutions, Their basic plan is one of the most economical shared hosting plans around, it is priced at just $5.95 per month ( 5 years prepaid) with free setup. The cost is $8.40 per month for 24 month plan. This plan known as the The " JUGGERNAUT" Plan offers an amazing 1,860 GB of disk space and 18.6 TB of monthly data transfer. Access to basic hosting features like PHP, Perl, Shockwave, Flash, CGI, TCL, MySQL, SSI, SSL, Real Media, pre-configured CGIs, and more.. is included long with unlimited email options. You'll be able to host unlimited websites in this plan. They make daily website backups and provide a dedicated IP address for your website.

In Their Words:

"Over the past three months, we have completely restructured our shared hosting services. With the release of our NetAdmin 2 control panel and our enhanced hosting platform, customers now enjoy unprecedented control over their account as well as an impressive array of new features. These features, combined with ultra-reliable service, and backed by a friendly and knowledgeable (not to mention fast!) support team have helped earn us a reputation as one of the best shared web hosting providers in the industry."

Benefits of Hosting with Site5

Site5 hosts your websites from Dual 5130 Xeons (4 cores) servers systems with a minimum 4GB of DDR ECC RAM using the Linux OS to provide a rock solid hosting environment. Site5 offers NetAdmin 3 as their Control Panel, this is a lot different than the standard cPanel used by the web hosting industry. NetAdmin 3 lets you control every aspect of your hosting account including email, FTP, domains, statistics, pre-installed scripts and dozens of other features. It includes Fantastico, which allows you to install unlimited copies of dozens of scripts. Next unique feature found with a Site5 hosting plan which you won't see with other hosting companies, is their “Accumulative Bandwidth” feature. This is similar to the 'roll-over minutes' concept that most cellular providers are currently offering. You can carry forward your unused bandwidth to the next month and so on for a period of 12 months and then it is reset.

Support

Site5 has a tenacious support system in place, no matter how big or how small the problem is they will be doing their best to get it fixed. At times a problem may take longer than average time to answer or be fixed and that is not unexpected, but be sure that the support staff at Site5 will work with you through the night and at times with you, to see the problem off. There may be other dedicated support staff in this industry but the Support staff at Site5 is so reliable that Site5 proudly displays weekly average response time on its front page and that is never more than 15 minutes, which is incredible for such a busy web host.

Reliability

As a very bold move Site5 proudly displays its monthly average uptime on its home page and there is no attempt made to hide or alter their uptime information from their clients. The "Uptime Records" link on their website will take you to the uptime reports of over 30 of Site5's shared hosting servers. Like other web hosting companies, Site5 also gives you some guarantees on their service. Besides the regular 30 days no question money back policy they have a few other money giving guarantees in place as well. They credit your account with 5 - 100% credit if your website didn’t make 99.99% uptime. They also have a support response guarantee.. if you don't receive a response from their support staff within 24 hours, you can request a $1 credit to your account (per ticket).

Conclusion
