Site5 Reviews

I have been a web hosting customer of several companies along 12 years and never I had found a web hosting company with better and faster support than Site5.

They reply the support tickets in an amazing average speed of 5-10 minutes or less!

Reliable and fast servers, and a really cheap price, I have the HostPRO+Turbo hosting package that includes a very good multi-admin panel with nice tools (they have their own improved version of cPanel and Fantastico), unlimited websites, unlimited disk space and bandwidth for $13.95/month and another nice thing of this company is they DO accept Paypal.

I knew about Site5 more than one year ago, a partner and friend of mine has some sites with them, but at that time I was skeptical and I had some sites running with ASP (Windows hosting), so I didn’t get convinced to migrate Site5, now I have have about three months using personally Site5 I have no complaints neither downtimes, and now I have migrated all my websites to Site5. My partner has no downtimes in almost two years.

Really Site5 is the best linux-based hosting service in my 12 years experience as web hosting customer.

Biggest Pro: Support , Uptime , Billing
Biggest Con: No Windows hosting

Site 5 is a good hosting company but not the best by far. When I first looked towards Site 5 it was truly because of the hype that was given on many blogging sites. Once I went ahead to sign up the process was very easy and I had my site up in minutes. The associate that helped me was very nice and made it easy to figure out things.

I was able to easily figure out how to setup my site and get it running. Something’s that I wish I would have known before hand would have been that the support team did not really do as much as they could to help me out. There have been plenty of times where I had to figure things out on my own. But no hosting site will be able to do everything you need them to do on your website.

In my opinion if you are new to the setting up your own website and get it running then Site 5 is not for you. You should at least be an average internet user if you want to at least get by with Site 5 hosting.

In conclusion, I would recommend Site 5 to my friends as a reputable site to host their websites on.

Site5 was founded in 1998 by Matt Lightner and Rod Armstrong. Matt Lightner took on the role of CEO and Rod was president of the company.

He took over as CEO with Joel Brown as president. The founders stayed on board but concentrated on specific projects.

Today, the company trades under the company name of Site5 Internet Solutions and is based in San Ramon, California.
