HostDime

HostDime

HostDime offers a better processor specification than 1&1 in its QC1 plan, and also provides options for upgrading the processor, hard drive, and RAM. The included 160GB hard drive, on the other hand, is one of the lower offerings in our comparison. However, multiple options are available for RAID configurations in this plan.

Although the included 1GB of RAM is the lowest of the plans compared, it can be upgraded to a maximum of 4GB. HostDime offers a monthly bandwidth allowance of 2000GB, which is the third-highest of all the reviewed hosts, with the only better options being 1&1 and LiquidWeb, offering 3000GB and 6000GB respectively. Only four IP addresses are included in the plan, however additional IP addresses can be obtained at a rate of $2 per month, with no upper limit on the number of IP addresses that can be purchased.

A wide range of operating systems is available with this plan, including Fedora Core as well as Windows 2003 server. HostDime lets you select either the CPanel and Plesk control panels at a cost of between $25 and $50 per month. The plan also offers optional managed services as well as an FTP backup solution. A free CSF software firewall comes bundled with the package, while a Juniper NetScreen 5GT hardware firewall can be obtained for $100 per month. An SSL certificate is also optional and can be purchased for a $50 yearly fee.

The server is monitored by HostDime, and there’s no setup fee for the plan. The monthly price for this plan is $220, which is the fifth lowest after LiquidWeb, 1&1, ServePath, and LunarPages. HostDime offers a discount of $20 per month for the first server, which amounts to a total available discount of $240 yearly. HostDime does not offer a money-back guarantee.
