Other than that, site 5 server response time was very slow over the month, recording only 0.464 second only. This indicating the server is not fast, and might be having some problems.

Its hard to find information about site5 domain privacy feature. Until now, i am still not sure whether site5 hosting is offering WHOIS domain protection features or not! I had searched through the site5 WIKI and browse through the domain name section. All i found is those DNS information and domain transfer information.

Later i login to my site5 backstage, into my hosting account, and try to locate these site5 domain privacy feature. Some hosting provider place a link in their control panel for user to enable the WHOIS protection from there. Lets find out!

I search through the backstage and the domain section for domain privacy feature, i can’t locate it. Seem like site5 hosting doesn’t offering domain privacy protection feature after all. They only offering private DNS nameserver feature.

For transfering domain name to site5.. this information might be best explained:

“By transferring your domain registrations to Site5, you gain the ability to manage all your domain registration, renewal, and details through Site5’s own Backstage. This means that all your billing needs will be met right here in Backstage – instead of having to keep track of domain renewals through one or more different domain registration providers, you can simply transfer your domains to Site5 and close off all those extraneous domain registration accounts.

Please note that it is not necessary to transfer your domain to be able to host your site at Site5, it simply makes managing your domain registrations easier by keeping them together in one easy to reach place, here in Backstage. By transferring your domain, Site5 becomes the registrar of the domain name, as opposed to the company you originally made the purchase from.“

Site5 hosting had introducing the unlimited hosting package some time ago… and now they are adding one more budget hosting plan to their shared hosting services. Both are unlimited storage and unlimited transfer, different is that the budget hosting only allow one domain hosting while the other allows unlimited domain hosting.

After reviewing the 2 hosting package and features, its clear that the budget hosting is suitable is you are going to host single website only… its hosting feature is complete with all you need, ecommerce ready, blog ready, cms hosting ready etc.

But i highly recommended you to select the unlimited domain package at $2 dollars extra per month, you can choose the 3 years term for best discount price of $7.95/mth. If you are hosting 5 or 10 websites in this hosting package, its a good bargain for long run.

Few months ago, i wrote a review of site5 dedicated server hosting and their available servers package. And now, site5 hosting had introduce a new budget dedicated server package offering at discount price of $99 per month only.

This site5 budget dedicated server is complete with pentium 4 2.4GB with 1024MB RAM, thats plenty of server ram. Free setup, come with cpanel/WHM, 5 free IP addresses, and more. All at a very low price of $99 per month only.

Higher performance server also available, dual core, xeon servers etc.

Site5 hosting recently updated their hosting package and offering two type of hosting plan instead of one. Beside that, site5 hosting is selling domain name at discount price of $8.88 per year per domain name.

Note that site5 unlimited domain hosting package allows unlimited websites creation and hosting, you can host ten or hundreds of website, and thus you will require more domain name as well. Either having your own domain name, or transfer domain to site5, or change DNS to point to site5, or register domain via site5 hosting. These are the few options that you can have.

If you choose the register domain with site5, its rather cheap, at only $8.88 per year. While other domain registrar or hosting charging you $9.20 to $10 per domain name per year.
