Dot5 Hosting

 Dot5 Hosting is a full-service, discount web host that has really stepped up with what they offer: free domain name, marketing features, the ability to host 6 domains on one account, and an award-winning vDeck control panel. Dot5 Hosting has quickly risen from relative obscurity to a top player, hosting thousands of customers at the iPowerweb datacenter (with whom they are a “Power Partner”).

For starters, Dot5 Hosting gives you the option to manage up to 6 domains on one account, and at a bargain rate of only $3.95 per month. With 50 GB space and 750 GB monthly transfer between them, it’s great value, even if you don’t need to host additional domains. This package gives you all the features required to host your personal website or small business site and gives the flexibility and room you need to expand at no additional cost.

Additionally, their plans include a fully-equipped Marketing Centre, a Web Site Creator, as many Shopping Carts as you need, a Search Engine Submitter, Search Engine Submitter Reports, a Keyword and Meta-Tag Generator, a Website Link Checker, and $50 Overture credit. You’ll get CGI-BIN, MySQL, and Perl and PHP support.

Your package also comes with server side includes, FrontPage 2000/2002 extensions, Website Statistics, a guestbook, bulletin board, chat rooms, and a blogger.

Dot5 Hosting backs up their 99.9% uptime guarantee with full hardware support and advanced server monitoring, 24/7 system reboots and real-time reporting. You get total backup software included as well. The all-inclusive Dot5 Hosting plan now comes with a full 90-day money back guarantee. They obviously plan to deliver for their customers because 90 days is almost unheard of in the hosting industry.

Dot5 Hosting runs a thorough Support Center equipped with Troubleshooting Tours, Tutorials, a searchable FAQ Knowledgebase, a traceable email query ticket system, an announcement board, and live web chat. They keep a sufficient ratio of support staff to customers on-duty at all times and they are available 24/7.

The line of equipment they use is not bad either. Featuring name brand servers and components, as well as premium upstream providers, services are quick and reliable. Risk of data failure is low, and in the even it happens, fairly recent backups are standing by for restoration. Quality firewalls and network security devices ensure account and data safety.

All in all, Dot5 Hosting is a very viable solution for anyone looking for multiple domain hosting. Great solutions, good pricing, dependable support!
