Normally I don't recommend web hosts, but dot5hosting has gone above and beyond. For starters, there are some really nice/smart people behind the scenes. They realize the value of not overloading servers or taking signups so fast they can't cope. It's always easy to get to a real person.. through email, aim, icq, etc. Pages load quickly, and the control panel (ensim) is extremely functional. I signed up, and five minutes later I had all my account information. Even though the person I was talking to on ICQ was pretty sure I was going to sign up, he offered me a 10% discount with the coupon code 'FINDSP.' If you're looking to change hosts, find a new hosting place, or be a 3rd tier reseller, I would highly suggest dot5. I used to be on hostpacket.. yeah.. well.. we all know what's happening to them.

Hi whee. Welcome to the madness. Be forwarned though that are a lot of cynical people around here that would think your post carried more weight if you included a url of a web site.

Glad you're happy. Do you have a site hosted? Or?

WoW, dot5hosting is turning away people, to prevent overloading servers. Gee how do they chose who to add and who not to add?
Is there a special selection process, like only add big accounts?

I wonder how many other names you posted under today, knocking Hostpacket.

I will most likely have to switch hosts, but I really can't believe the extent some people will go to, to drum up business.

BTW, when I signed with Hostpacket, kevin was live in chat, and answered all questions, and has been ever since. That is until today!

Actually, just one [at the hostpacket forums as a guest]. After all, they only lost my files and all my client's files once.
