HostDime VPS Hosting Review

HostDime VPS Hosting - Editor's Review

HostDime was founded in 2001 and currently ranks among the top 50 web hosts of the world. HostDime offers fully managed VPS hosting including cPanel VPS and Enkompass Reseller hosting. HostDime is a Linux VPS and a Windows Reseller provider that only offers cPanel and Enkompass for their control panel options.

Based on reviews and our independent study, we've found that most customers who choose HostDime as their VPS provider are satisfied. We have only found a few experiences from those who have used their Enkompass Reseller hosting and they have appeared satisfied on this new platform.

Since Enkompass does not support virtual private server environments at this time, the best option for Enkompass is either reseller Enkompass hosting or Enkompass clustered dedicated servers. See our conversation with HostDime under customer support for specifics. Visit HostDime

We asked HostDime about their Enkompass service and the nonexistent option for a virtual private server, here was that conversation:

Now connected to Manny
Manny: Hello Scott
Manny: are you looking for a Enkompass with VPS?
Manny: or just the license
You: I only see Enkompass shared and Enkompass cluster?
You: Enkompass VPS
Manny: currently Enkompass is only supported in dedicated or reseller or shared
Manny: there is no option for VPS, I apologize for any confusions we created
You: Oh, Ok, I was under the impression that Enkompass had WHM capabilities and could do a VPS
Manny: due to the way Enkompass is designed
Manny: a VPS would not have the means to drive Enkompass
Manny: however a Enkompass reseller is better as we have a cluster
Manny: setup for you to use all our resources at a fraction of the cost
You: I see, so my option is basically an expensive dedicated server or reseller
Manny: yea, I recommend the reseller, with a dedicated/VPS it would be little difference to be honest with you
Manny: and a dedicated cluster would be too much and not cost effective
You: Awesome. Thanks.
