Site 5

Someone who read my posts about choosing Site5 for my next host asked for a review. It’s a bit premature, since I’ve only been with them for a couple of weeks, but here ya go. The main site I have with them is http://thehathorlegacy.info.
I signed up on July 3, and my account was set up by the morning of the fourth even though that’s a holiday here in the US. They transferred my basic site files over for me, and when I requested they also transfer the databases, they did.
I had a lot of configuring to do - add-on domains, getting my blog app reconfigured for my new username, etc. I went to Site5’s forums for support, and WOW is that a helpful community. I generally got responses - from the moderator and also knowledgeable users - within minutes.
Tech support (via email, which is SO much simpler than opening a ticket and all that jazz) is even quicker. They’re a lot of help even when it turns out the issue is not on their end. And they don’t just respond quickly - they take action quickly.
My sites are running at a very nice speed, even in Cpanel (where, with other hosts, I waste a lot of time waiting for pages to load as I’m tinkering and updating). I’ve had 100% uptime (except for 20 minutes the night the nameservers moved, which is inevitable when you switch hosts) so far.
All in all, lots of positives and no negatives. I’ll update this thread (or start a new one) at some milestone points.
