The knowledgebase has plenty of content, with 560 articles organized into 73 categories. Site5's support begins on its website, where features include a knowledgebase and a Q&A page where you can post public questions, and browse questions and answers from other views. The support site has lots of content but most is years old (Image credit: Site5) Support Site5's shared hosting doesn't include the excellent Softaculous auto-installer, for instance as we've pointed out, but that is available in Namecheap's ultra-budget starter plan ($1.44 a month in year one, $2.44 on renewal.) This is a reasonable set of tools, but it doesn't live up to Site5's claim of 'hosting for serious developers.' If anything, it's less capable than some consumer hosting. Site5 doesn't include any website builder, but as this is apparently 'hosting for serious developers', maybe that's not necessary.ĬPanel's other modules cover all the setup and maintenance features you're likely to need: domains, databases, email accounts, FTP and SSH, backups, and when your site is up-and-running, detailed stats on your visitors, where they came from, and exactly what they're looking at. QuickInstall can set up a bunch of other apps, too: Drupal, Joomla, Magento, PrestaShop, ZenCart and many more.
#SITE5 CPANEL INSTALL#
Install WordPress and other apps from a basic quick install tool (Image credit: Site5)įortunately, you're still able to set up WordPress via a Mojo Marketplace-powered QuickInstall feature. We searched Site5's support knowledgebase for 'nameservers', though, and two articles pointed us to the names we thought we needed (more on that in a moment): and. Site5's account information email told us to point our existing domain to its webspace, we must use the nameservers 'Nameserver 1: (), Nameserver 2: ()', which was less than helpful. We chose a plan, provided all the usual contact details, and paid via PayPal (there's support for cards, too.) An email arrived moments later with login details and some useful advice on getting started, and our account was ready to use immediately. The Site5 purchase process is simple, straightforward, and works precisely as we expected. Is there something about the service that justifies any extra costs? Maybe signing up would help us find out. It looks like Site5's VPS range has a significant price premium, then. Its cheapest unmanaged VPS starts at $4.49 billed monthly (1 core, 1GB RAM, 30GB storage, 1TB bandwidth), while a 4 core, 8GB RAM, 150GB storage and 3TB setup, fully managed and with cPanel thrown in, is $95.
#SITE5 CPANEL WINDOWS#
Hostwinds has a wider range of VPS plans, far more configurable and with support for Windows hosting, but it also offers great value.
#SITE5 CPANEL FULL#
And even if you add cPanel and full server management, it's still only $44.76. If you're happy to manage your server from the command line, though, there are huge savings to be made.įor instance, Namecheap's unmanaged, no-cPanel Pulsar package - 2 core, 2GB RAM, 40GB storage and 1TB bandwidth - is only a monthly $11.88.
#SITE5 CPANEL LICENSE#
This is a managed VPS, which means Site5 looks after the low-level technical management of the server, and a bundled cPanel license means it's almost as easy to run as a shared hosting product. The baseline 2 core, 2GB RAM, 50GB storage and 1TB bandwidth product costs $64.80 a month billed annually, for instance, a serious chunk of cash. Site5 doesn't have any managed WordPress hosting or dedicated server products, but there is a small range of VPS plans.Īs with the shared hosting, these look a little expensive. VPS plans are short on features and a little overpriced (Image credit: Site5) Servers
