I believe dot5hosting is quite a good company, and for $5 I'm happy enough to stay. Sure, if I want better uptime, or whatever, I can get it - but it'll cost me. So for $5 a month I've got a pretty good host, to be honest. You get what you pay for - cheap host, acceptable bandwidth and uptime.
What I find extremely positive about Dot5 hosting: 1. Monthly transfer and storage. Pretty decent for $5/month. 2. Personal service. You can contact the CEO yourself if you feel like it. 3. Openness - forums.dot5hosting.com - they never had to put this up, but they did, and that's pretty cool. I should say that not every host does that.
The downsides of dot5hosting: 1. Occasional downtime - half an hour here, or there, usually at most. 2. Tech support not always great and sometimes slow to respond. 3. Things happen without being told, such as stats programs changing, or whatever. They could simply keep the customers informed a little better. But it's not a major problem – they’re usually upgrades they don't tell you about.
