New special at site5

Some time ago I wrote about the 5$ plan at site5. This plan is no longer available. But wait, they have just rolled out a new special plan. They call it “The Plan To End All Plans“.

With this plan you get 750GB of storage for 7.5$/month for a two years term. Until the end of the month (October) site5 runs a Halloween special were the give a 13% discount your total order.

As I wrote before I used to have a MultiAdmin account but these accounts are not available anymore. What they have now is the above simple plan but you can upgrade it to have MultiAdmin (they call it Turbo Package) for 3$/month.

MultiAdmin allows you to manage all of your websites, each with their own private control panel, from one extremely easy to use interface. Using the MultiAdmin interface is much easier than trying to manage multiple domain pointers under a single account. 

With MultiAdmin you can:

  • Make each website its own isolated account. Create and remove accounts instantly.
  • Access the individual control panel for each site without needing to know each account’s current password.
  • Force a password reset on an account.
  • Suspend and unsuspend accounts.
  • Monitor disk space and bandwidth usage for all MultiSite accounts.
  • Change disk space, bandwidth, email, mySQL, FTP and domain quotas for each account.
  • Each website that you create/manage with MultiAdmin is granted access to all of the features that you have with your primary hosting account. This includes the ability to setup domain pointers through your sub-accounts (if for some reason you wanted to do that)!

To good to be true?

I have been with site5 for two years and never had a real problem. I asked myself whether this new plan could be a suicide plan? I believe not. If that was the case we would see great deals on one hand but with deteriorating support and lack of system updates and upgrades on the other. The support response time didn’t change and the backstage control panel was upgraded. Regarding overselling, you should read Overselling and Resource Usage from site5’s wiki.
