Stay Away From Hostdime
Apr 2, 2008The shared server I am on runs out of disk space every day and their support says they are still "deciding" what to do about it.
This has been going on for 2 weeks now and they still can;t "decide" what to do about the disks filling up.
How many people does it take to decide to add a hard drive to the server?
I have also had way more downtime than I have had with my other ISP's like HostGator or Lunapages.
Stay away from Hostdime!
HostDime VPS Users
Apr 19, 2009I've searched around these forums (VPS specifically) and cannot find any recent "reviews" or opinions on HostDime's VPS offerings.
Anyone using them? They seem to have the most bang/buck and I'd like to get a more recent review opinion on them.
HostDime USA And UK My Review -
Jan 9, 2009HostDime - USA and UK su...! The situation as follows. We’ve agreed with the Hostdime owner Manny that we take a server, and from time to time a script will work on it* - sending messages to Wiki. We have agreed that if there are any displeased owners, their resources would be dropped from the database not to make any inconveniences. For what* Manny answered *“yes, yes, no problem” and gave us configurations published in the forum. The server wasn’t cheap – approximately $255.00. In half a month we received the second abuse. We said that we have deleted the resource and won’t bother the owner anymore. HostDime shut down the server and said the owner had approved that. Manny doesn’t answer our emails for some reasons…
The summary: they want to receive your money but they can’t render the full service. They don’t keep their word.*By the way, we haven’t even disturbed their support service as for the server, because we didn’t need the full technical support but we paid more to work quietly.
Hostdime Beware
Sep 6, 2008Been talking with Hostdime for quite awhile and just like every other company we find advertising "hard to believe deals" they do this because their service stinks. We pre-paid for ip's so that we could order additional servers without having to purchase individual ip's each time. Ordered a server using a promotion from here and it was deployed same day. Wasn't deployed with the ip's we paid for or working login information. So we have a server that we can't login to, isn't on the ip's we paid ahead of time for, and the 24/7 service they advertise doesn't exist. It's been at least 4 hours now since we submitted our ticket regarding these issues and nothing, so 24/7 is just an advertising word to HostDime, they aren't around 24/7 to resolve issues.
So before you do what I did and jump on board with one of these great deals, keep in mind they do NOT have the service the claim to have.
HostDime Israel Review
Nov 6, 2008We are a game server company and we were looking for a dedicated box in Israel. We found HostDime Israel and talked with them via e-mail and chat and decided to go with them. They ordered a custom server for us and it was quick delivery.
The service and communication has been great. Reboots are pretty quick and the bandwidth has been good, no complaints from our customers who are very ping-dependent as you know. The server has been crashing a lot but I think its due to Win08 rather than the box. We seemed to have settled it down recently.
We've also used HostDime in the US to coordinate support and that has gone pretty well too. My only complaint is that they are billing me from the order date rather than the install date that was about a week later.

How To Contact HostDime's Management? Having Horrible Times
Apr 30, 2008how to contact hostdime's management? Because I can't get any answer that works for me from hostdime hosting and "no" answer from instantcpanellicense..
I am in a very bad situation now.. I did a special agreement with Hostdime's external cpanel seller brand instantcpanel and they don't reply my tickets since 5 days. I am not sure what to do.. My due date has arrived, I need to cancel some licenses, I need some new ones. Also they have removed my special promotional code without telling me!
I have 3 big problems will leave me in some legit sanctions but I am sure they don't care of me. I am willing to pay the problematic payments again Hostdime that's no problem.
