Terrible service, move along

Site5 is probably one the worst option you have out there for shared hosting. Not only will you get poor service and customer support, but it's also e...

xpensive. Their policies when it comes to refund are just non existent and their cost increases are never communicated to the customer till it's billing time.

Worst Services, Pathetic Support

Blue host is a worst and overrated hosting service. Their servers are compromised and full of viruses. Their Support agents are lazy and they don't ...

bother to reply on time. It takes 10-15 minutes in getting reply for a single message. Their Wordpress Staging Plugin is full of bugs. If you create a staging site, it will break your main website. In fact during staging creation, main website database tables were deleted by Staging plugin. Their supporters operators are dumb and they don't have much knowledge about Server processes. My website was broken due to their buggy Staging tool. I requested their support operator to restore a website back and he was moving me around other things like file manager, .htaccess file etc.

Knowledgebase

Site5 and BlueHost are two fairly popular hosting companies that cater largely to the entry level hosting niche. While Site5 is a fairly average hosting company, BlueHost is a nice step above that. They have very reliable hosting services, and their technical support is very impressive. Despite the fact that they offer better hosting than Site5, they are able to keep their prices even lower, which is why we named them the winner in this competition.
