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.

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.

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.
