Hi,
I've just found dot5hosting.com and their custom plans. anybody used these plans before? they seem interesting, is the price you get from their calculator exactly what you pay monthly?

also, any other comments about them such as support, etc. are appreciated.

I originally signed up for one of the custom plans as well as 2 dot 1 , 2 dot 2 and a dot 3 but they helped me figure out one of there readymade plans was actually less expensive than the cutom plan for what I wanted................I find they are very friendly and helpful. As for their support,it is always very prompt and courteous. I have had no problems with them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services.

It is true that their custom plans are more expensive compared to the predefined plans.

not really, many times custom plans take extra time to set up...that should be factored into the price, plus its very difficult to match the custom plans with the standard ones because of all the inputs.

Well, you could run a check to see if the plan the user has chosen matches any of the preset plans and if it does, adjust the price accordingly.

We have a new custom plan calculator on its way:)!
