Dot5 Web Hosting Review

Dot5Hosting provides web hosting plans separately for personal websites and for small business websites. Dot5 is a relatively new IPower(iPowerWeb) reseller.

Dot5 Hosting Price & Features:

Dot5Hosting offers three (3) Linux plans. The Personal plan, $5.00 per month, is for personal websites. This is a Best Buy. The Personal Plan includes:

• One free domain name,
• 1,500 MB (1.5 Gig) of disk space (Much more then enough),
• 50 GB bandwidth (Very unlikely to need more)
• Unlimited POP3 eMail accounts with autoresponders,

plus a bundle of features and plugins. If you don't need a fully eCommerce-ready site, then this plan is clearly an excellent choice.

Their standard eCommerce plan is the Business Plan, which costs $10.00 per month, and includes:

• One free domain name,
• 3,000 MB (3 Gigs) of disk space (Much more then enough),
• 80 GB bandwidth (Very Generous),
• Unlimited POP3 eMail accounts with autoresponders,

plus a bundle of features and plugins. This includes several shopping carts to select from, stats in control panel Statistical Section.

Reliability:

They are one of the newer web hosts. Since they are an IPower reseller, you can expect solid reliability since IPower has 99.9% uptime. This is an impressive record. See IPower for more information on reliability.

Customer Support:

Dot5Hosting customer support may now be accessed by 24/7 eMail, Live Chat, and by toll-free telephone. Customer support is slow.

Control Panel:

Dot5Hosting uses the IPower VDeck control panel. While Dot5 has done little to customize the basic VDeck, it is a very good control panel. Dot5 did add a Marketing Centre with a variety of features, to help webmasters with website promotion.

Web Builder:

Dot5Hosting has the Dot5Hosting Web Site Builder. You can pick from 150 templates. Changing the template to a different look and feel takes only seconds.

Money-Back Guarantee:

Dot5Hosting provides a 30-day money back guarantee. If you are dissatisfied with your service for any reason, you will receive a full refund (minus overage charges) if you cancel your account within 30 days of activation.

Conclusion on Dot5Hosting Web Hosting:

Dot5 provides highly dependable hosting. If you don't need the convenience of a website building tool in the control panel or an eCommerce-ready hosting plan, then their Personal Plan is clearly a Best Buy at $5.00 a month. Their eCommerce-ready Business Plan is also a bargain at $10.00 a month for 80 Gigs of monthly bandwidth and provides support for a range of software.
