Price Value
For starters, Dot5 Hosting gives you hosting for up to 6 domains on one
account for only $3.95 per month. With 1700 GB space and 17000 GB monthly
transfer between them, it's great value, even if you don't need to host
additional domains. This package gives you all the features required to
host your personal website or small business site and gives the
flexibility and room you need to expand at no additional cost.
This hosting plan includes a fully-equipped Marketing Centre, a Web Site
Creator, as many Shopping Carts as you need, a Search Engine Submitter,
Search Engine Submitter Reports, a Keyword and Meta-Tag Generator, a
Website Link Checker, and $50 Overture credit. You'll get CGI-BIN, MySQL,
and Perl and PHP support.
Your package also comes with server side includes, FrontPage 2000/2002
extensions, Website Statistics, a guestbook, bulletin board, chat rooms,
and a blogger.
Reliability
Dot5 Hosting backs up their 99.9% uptime guarantee with full hardware
support and advanced server monitoring, 24/7 system reboots and real-time
reporting. You get total backup software included as well. The
all-inclusive Dot5 Hosting plan now comes with a full 90-day money back
guarantee. They obviously plan to deliver for their customers because 90
days is almost unheard of in the hosting industry.

2GB of DDR-RAM, fast SCSI hard drives with RAID-1 redundancy. Dot5 Hosting
gives you access to 7.2 Gigs network capacity on a redundant and diverse
AT&T Local Services ring.

local-switched and circuit-switched services are your options for back-end
connectivity and network services. AT&T and other local service providers
handle local access. Their security systems include a high power UPS
generator for electrical backup, 24/7 closed circuit monitoring, and
redundant air-conditioning systems.
Control Panel
Dot5 Hosting uses the popular vDeck control panel, a state of the art,
leading edge, hosting management solution that has received global acclaim
for the ease with which it facilitates virtual eBusiness management. It's
a versatile, intuitive, icon-based interface with Help info embedded in,
along with more detailed Tutorials on each function available directly
from the function's main window. It shows you progress bars on how much of
your disk space and bandwidth quotas you're currently using.
The
vDeck Host Manager makes uploading web pages and files, and performing
backups a breeze. A Database Manager with password protection is included.
Over 150 templates help you build each web page to fit your (and your
visitors') tastes. VDeck's shopping cart allows you to accept all kinds of
credit cards and alternative payment methods and its email center gives
you unlimited email addresses and access to your inbox from anywhere on
the web.

Dot5 Hosting runs a thorough Support Centre equipped with Troubleshooting
Tours, Tutorials, a searchable FAQ Knowledgebase, a trackable email query
ticket system, an announcement board, and live web chat. They keep a
sufficient ratio of support staff to customers on-duty at all times and
they are available 24/7.
