MD5 is not a good hashing algorithm to go with

Why's that? If your argument is that "it can be bruteforced" or "cracked by a dictionary attack" then yes, that's true. But unless you're calling all hashing algorithms bad, MD5 is no different from any other hashing algorithm, as any password or hash can be bruteforced. As long as someone is using a complex password, the chances of it getting cracked is low (just as it is with any other algorithm) and there will be no need for a salt.
