Edit October 2016: I can no longer endorse Site5! Last year, they were acquired by EIG and their service and support has deteriorated to the point that we are migrating all of our sites off their servers and we’re encouraging all our clients to do the same. At this time, WordPress is recommending SiteGround for website hosting of WordPress sites. THERE IS GOOD REASON – 32 of Site5’s Star Support Staff are now working for SiteGround!
We have been putting together websites for years and we have finally found the best web package with Site5. You can search all day for the cheapest web hosting and come up with hundreds of listings. Sign up for any of these cheap web hosting packages and you will soon learn that you will be sorely disappointed. No so with a Site5 web hosting package. Site5 is offering a web hosting package for $4.95 a month when you agree to 24 months of service. You can’t beat the price of this high quality web hosting company. When picking a web hosting package, you must look at service, support, price and features. Site5 does not disappoint. I have been using Site5 for the last two years and I have been very satisfied with their service. Their technical support is very quick to respond and I have been quite pleased with their resolutions. Site5 even offers a 45-day “money-back” guarantee. Site5’s web hosting package includes:
- PHP 4 & 5 (w/Zend Optimizer™)
- MySQL 4+
- Perl 5.8+ (w/Free Module Installation)
- GD Graphics Library
- cURL Library
- Python 2.2 Language Support
- ImageMagick 5+ Support
