Price Value
Dot5Hosting is about as cheap as it gets and they offer an array of hosting packages with great tools at amazingly affordable rates. However, Dot5Hosting has, at times, been accused by customers of being rife with complaints. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for and, if you are looking to save a buck, Dot5Hosting may be the way to go. Their 90-day money back guarantee makes them quite popular also.

Reliability
Dot5Hosting offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee and total backup for your entire site at no additional charge. However, some users, particularly those with larger and more complex websites, have complained of slow transfer rates and response times. On the other hand, Dot5Hosting has been able to maintain their 99.9 percent uptime guarantee with no problems.

Control Panel
Dot5Hosting uses the popular CPanel control panel which is often considered the best control panel when it comes to speed, features, and ease of use. Specifically, the CPanel front end allows for easy access to common operations such as file management, mail and FTP. Several add-ons also exist for CPanel, including Fantastico. Fantastico is a set of scripts that allow the automated installation of many open source web applications. CPanel is perfect for most webmasters, new and experienced.

Customer Support
Dot5Hosting clients enjoy excellent customer support. The customer support staff at Dot5Hosting is friendly and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, either by support ticket or toll free number. Dot5Hosting prides itself on the technical knowledge of its staff. Live support is also available online.

Dot5Hosting offers great value and you do get a big bang for your buck with plenty of goodies. However, it may not be the best choice for those looking to run a large and complex web operation. For the rest of us Dot5 is fantastic!
