If you’ve been anywhere near the web hosting review market in today’s world, what you are going to find is that there are thousands of websites out there with information about web hosting reviews. It is simply stunning how big the web hosting review marketplace has become since you would think that with so much competition out there, it would be far too difficult in order to try in any way, shape or form for the new guy. Of course, with the advent of CPC advertising and a number of other online innovations, the little guy does have a chance at competing and therefore they are able to do a smaller website and then work their way up from exactly what that website has the ability to offer.

Now, with the increase and subsequent boom of the internet and the larger need for web hosting services, the increase in positive web hosting reviews has been very obvious for all to see. The top web hosting websites have a number of them and they all proclaim high and far that the best web hosting is one that they happen to be affiliated with.

Because this is exactly what you are going to find from all positive web hosting reviews; that the website you are reading the review from is affiliated with the website that is being reviewed. This is not to say that websites that do not give off completely positive reviews are not affiliate websites; but it is more to say that websites that give off completely positive reviews are most definitely affiliate websites. They are trying to sell you a product with a promotional review that, while not being deceitful, at the same time is still only highlighting the positive aspects of whatever web hosting they are talking about. Even the worst web hosting in the world can be made to look fantastic in terms of the web hosting reviews if they only discuss the positive aspects of that website; so this begs the question as to whether or not positive web hosting reviews are useful.

Well, they are useful according to most experts but in order to realize where their usefulness lies, it is important to take a closer look at them. What you see with most promotional reviews is that they go well out of their way in order to make sure that you know about every positive aspect of the web hosting package, so in a way they are giving you everything you need to know about half of the picture. If you can find another half that discusses the negative sides of the product you are considering, then you might actually be able to use the two together as an impartial resource, since the partialities of both sources will cancel each other out. If you decide to use the positive review by itself, just keep in mind that there are potential negative aspects that you might need to investigate further and you can still use it as a good resource.

Review by Ricky Lim

I have been hosting some of my websites with Site5 for about a year now. I also have other websites hosted in other web hosting companies. Here is my review for Site5 based on my own personal experience with them

Why I chose Site5

I got to know about Site5 through the webhostingtalk forums. At that time, I was searching for a reliable and reputable cheap web hosting company for a couple of my new websites. I’d heard a lot of good reviews about Site5 and decided to try them out. Since they have a 60 day money back refund, I figured if I did not like it, I would ask for my money back. Anyway, I was basically testing their web hosting on my new websites so I was not terribly worried.

Site5 Hosting Plan

Site5 only offer two types of hosting plan : shared and reseller, so I took the superhosting extreme package. Basically here are the brief web hosting package details (see footnote for latest):

Diskspace : 8GB
Bandwidth : 500GB
Multisite Accounts : 5
Unlimited : domain pointers, ftp, mysql

It also comes with fantastico and Cpanel. All this for about $109 annually which is pretty cheap. (see footnote) Please note this hosting plan is no longer available and is replaced with multisite dynamite plan. It is basically the same as my previous plan except for more diskspace and bandwidth. As I’m writing this, they have a promotion where you can get this hosting plan for 2 years at only $149 which I consider to be a good deal.

Unique Features of Site5 hosting

One feature I like about Site5 hosting is the multisite accounts. It is basically a full featured control panel for each domain. Unlike other shared web hosting companies which uses domain pointers, a multisite accounts exists on its own with its own subdomains, domain pointer, ftp, mysql etc. This help me to organize my websites better especially if you have a lot of domains. You can set the diskspace and bandwidth from the main pool of your web hosting account.

The other feature is the flashback which allows you to undo any changes you make to your website. It is a life saver especially when a website breaks down and you do not know the cause.

Things that can be improved

Though I like
target=”_blank” >Site5 and would recommend it to friends, there are a few things that could make it better. One of them is the upgrade option. I recently upgraded my hosting plan to multisite dynamite and was told I had to shift to another server. The problem was I had to do the data transfer myself. With 3GB of data to transfer, not to mention the dozens of ftp, mysql and email accounts, it was a real hassle. Something I am sure their staff could have easily completed in a short time.

The other thing I didn’t like was I could not request for more IP addresses. If you know about SEO, then you know how having multiple IP addresses can be useful.

In all, I would still recommend Site5 due to its cheap web hosting plan, good support and high availability.

(Since the author wrote this review there have been some changes to the pricing and features of Site5’s hosting plans. Shared hosting is currently available for $5 per month for a two year contract. 12 month plan works out at $7 per month billed annually in advance. Monthly billing will cost $15 per month. Reseller accounts start at $20 per month billed annually in advance. Full details of all plans are available at the Site5’s Website).
