Hostdime aka Host dime is in my opinion, the internet's worst hosting company or hosting server. If your hosting with host dime, Hopefully you'll read this post in time to change to another host before hostdime loses your website or even worse, get's your site and domain name blacklisted!
Hostdimes site says that they don't support hate sites, but they seem to support them all the time.
Even Hostdimes owner seems to support hate sites - (It seems that Hostdime supports hate sites because they would rather work with a quick fly-by nite business and make a quick buck then to provide reliable hosting to legit businesses or site owners.)
With fly-by-nite services, Hostdime may not have to worry about providing legit and respectable service.instead, they can worry about making a quick buck and moving on to the next person.
If your a legit company, you'll want to stay far away from Hostdime as they have a long history of losing sites, failing to back up sites, getting sites blacklisted, losing your email and blocking peoples websites. You can search for hostdime reviews on google to read some horror stories about hostdime.
HostingTech.com has an interesting article regarding HostDime's two-faced position on hosting hate-speech with some interesting quotes from Manny Vivar, HostDime's President.
Here is what one person said,
"After a few days of downtime the hate group found another host, of course. Upon doing a whois lookup, I found that the new IPs traced to HostDime. I notified HostDime on April 20th via email to ask them if the hate groups web sites were in violation of their acceptable use policy. Manny Vivar, President of HostDime replied that same day informing me that We have given notice to the owner of the server to take off those sites within 3 business days to prevent service interruption. Several days later on April 28th, I followed up and the sites were still online."
The horror stories go on forever with this company. There is even one story at webhostingtalk where someone informed hostdime that there was a site which promoted credit card fraud. Did hostdime do the right thing and remove this site before hundred or thousands of people lost their credit information? - Not a chance!
Hostdime is dead set on making a quick buck and not caring about long term hosting solutions. This couldn't be any more evident than taking a look at some of the sites they host.
Hostdime will never admit to these things, however, if you do a search on the internet, you'll see that this is hostdime's rule rather than exception. Hostdime not only operates under the hostdime name but operates under numerous other business names.
Hopefully readers of this can go to their hosting site and compare the address to hostdimes address stated below.
HostDime.com, Inc.
189 South Orange Avenue
Suite 1500S
Orlando, Florida 32801
United States of America
If you see that your host has the address above or has a similar address, you may want to consider moving to a new and more secure host which doesn't have such a horrible history.
In my opinion, If you care about your website, and care about your business. You'll stay far away from Hostdime!
