Dot5 has been hosting my site for 2 years now and they are excellent. Their reliability is superb, no downtime or crashes or any slowness or delay whatsoever. For a home business owner like me, knowing that my site will be up at all times gives me a lot of reassurance and peace of mind. My site’s scalability and ability to grow as my business does is important to me as well, Dot5 has got me well covered when it comes to that. I have tons of excess storage space and so many features that I can do virtually anything I want on my site. All their packages also came e-commerce ready with shopping carts, SSL certificate and ad credit. Dot5 has provided me all the tools I need to run a successful business and I truly appreciate all that they have done for me. Dot5 allows me to run a cost effective site and still receive top-line performance. Dot5 was the ideal web hosting solution for my business; it can be for yours too. | |||

Dot5Hosting's customer service is excellent. They cooperated with me to meet my needs promptly, politely and effectively. My site`s only been offline for an hour, and I was quickly informed of the problem and what Dot5 Hosting was doing to fix the matter. The support has been excellent with queries always being answered, even when a solution hasn`t been possible, they`ve been polite enough to inform me of the fact rather than just ignoring my email. My site loads very quickly and smoothly. The only thing I disliked about Dot5Hosting is that they sent me 5 warning emails saying if I did not renew, I would lose my domain. The annual rate is the most economical and for the low price, I get quality service. In general, I recommend Dot5Hosting to everyone. | |||

I have been with Dot5hosting for about two years by now and I should say it's the best host I've been with, everything that dissatisfed me at my 5 old hosts wasn’t like this at Dot 5 hosting at all. I love their control panel, easy to navigate, provides all the necessary functions and lets you manage everything with just few click of a button. I've never seen a second of downtime. Whenever there is a problem all you have to do is swing by the site, head into a live chat, and within 5 to 10 minutes your problem is solved. I think I've found my ideal host. | |||

I believe dot5hosting is quite a good company, and for $5 I'm happy enough to stay. Sure, if I want better uptime, or whatever, I can get it - but it'll cost me. So for $5 a month I've got a pretty good host, to be honest. You get what you pay for - cheap host, acceptable bandwidth and uptime. What I find extremely positive about Dot5 hosting: 1. Monthly transfer and storage. Pretty decent for $5/month. 2. Personal service. You can contact the CEO yourself if you feel like it. 3. Openness - forums.dot5hosting.com - they never had to put this up, but they did, and that's pretty cool. I should say that not every host does that. | |||

Dot 5 rocks! They got me online in 16 minutes, transferred my website from my old host and helped me setup all my email accounts. I am very happy to have switched to Dot 5 and I think they are very good so far when it comes to shared hosting. The price is reasonable too. | |||

Money cheating company. Sites were down forever (80% down) through out my 2 months with them. Customer services are poor and cant rectify problems. They transfer my sites from 1 server to another server but still can't solve the down time. Cancel 2 hosting plan with them after 2 months but my nightmares continues. After 1 year, they just simply bill me for renewal without my knowledge and approval. Have contacted their customer services but they wont help and asked to send email to their billing department but after numerous emails asking for refund, until today 4 days has passed NO ONE REPLY. Wonder is it illegal to charge my credit card without my knowledge. However have since complain to FTC (federal Trade commission) wonder they will help. GO ahead and try if u dare. | |||

Very good service, Dot5 has fast support responses which I think is very important. I find their servers to be very fast and am glad to be with them. | |||
