Site5 1.5TB/15TB Plan for $3.50/mo!

OMG - this plan is ridiculously good. I personally use Site5’s $5 deal, and I am completely and utterly happy with it. It’s fast, never down, allows SSH access, has easy to install applications, and Ruby on Rails works perfectly (this blog is using Rails). If you are in the market for web hosting, and even if you currently have a host that charges over $3.50 per month, you should seriously consider switching to Site5 for this deal.
They might put you on a nice new server for this deal, but this is what I was put on over a year ago:
- Quad processor Xeon 5150 2.00GHz, 4MB cache per processor
- 4GB RAM and 8GB of swap
- load average: 3.54, 4.64, 3.90
Pingdom has analyzed Site5 and some other hosting companies recently. Here is a graph of its growth compared to other hosts:
As you can see, Site5 is a very slowly growing company that offers a great quaiity of service for a wonderful price.
Also, their domains are only $8.88/year, which isn’t too bad really. You can find $6 other places, but it’s pretty tough and those places can be shady… The plan also comes with unlimited subdomains, which is a feature I’ve really enjoyed (I have over 20). They take very little time to set up. I currently have 5 domains names hosted on my plan with Site5, 3 of which I registered through them. I’ve done speed testing in the past.
The best part is there is no risk, and I know that sounds like bull, but I’m telling the truth. You just cancel within 60 days, and they refund your money. If you want any kind of shared hosting, these are the guys to get it from.

I imagine you got some gift from Site5 … it’s true that it’s just 3.50$ per month but if you get a 10 YEARS plan! Did you forget to mention it?
