Site 5 Web Hosting
August 30th, 2010
Web Hosting for Designers
Web hosting for designers, sounds good right? It’s exactly that. I made the transition from GoDaddy to Site5 and couldn’t be happier. GoDaddy’s interface was sluggish, confusing, and at most times… completely pointless. A friend recommended that I try out Site5 for my hosting. The prices were higher then GoDaddy (price is the only thing that kept me there) and I couldn’t find a whole lot of user reviews on it. But after spending a few minutes poking around the interface, easily finding my way, I saw no problem in paying a little extra for reliable web hosting.
The biggest catalyst to the move was the simple migration that they will do for you. I had a lot of trouble switching over my DNS on GoDaddy and even more trouble migrating my information once the site is down. Site5 handles all that for you (for absolutely free) and takes the worry about out of moving your stuff.
Site5 offers packages that make it easy to install WordPress or other popular CMSs, get direct SSH or cPanel access and even IMAP and POP3 email options. All said and done it was a lean $40 to get my site off of garbage GoDaddy and to a web provider that was worth the money. Check them out here.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Other online backup services that offer seeded backup include CrashPlan and Mozy (Data Shuttle).
