Two Years of Site5

I forgot to mention this last week, but prwdot.org has just passed its second anniversary of hosting at Site5.com. I originally signed up on August 15, 2002, after many bad experiences with my previous web host. My experiences with Site5 have been nothing but terrific. Their prices are great, their service is great, their support is great. I couldn’t be happier. Site5 has a very professional and personable staff, which is a rarity in this industry. I ask a lot out of their support personnel, as evidenced by my Site5 support mailbox, which contains 339 messages. These aren’t just common support questions, these are arcane issues that most people would never even encounter, such as setting up procmail in a shared hosting environment, setting up DAV support, custom Perl module installations, etc. They have had no problem responding to and taking care of each and every one of my requests.

You can get their basic account (which is quite a bit beefier than most places’ basic accounts, I must say) for just $6.95/month if you sign an annual contract. It’s $9.95/month if you prefer to go with a month-to-month contract. I currently have their Site4 account, which is just $25.95 for a month-to-month contract that provides 2 gigs of storage space, 60 gigs of bandwidth per month (with bandwidth rollover!), unlimited subdomains, MySQL databases, email accounts, FTP accounts, and more. Check out their site to see what plan is right for you.

Several other users are also happy with Site5, by proxy, since I am hosting them for free under my account:

Will Farnham
Amy Walton
Corey Lowe
Nathan Clark (though I’m not sure if he’s actually using his account any more)

    Do you really use all that space and bandwidth? My account at TCH, for instance, has 10 gigs of bandwidth, 450 megs of disk space – and it costs $4/month with no contract. Not saying that I’ll never use more than that, but I’m currently nowhere near the place where I’d need to spend 6x that! 🙂
