About HostDime
HostDime is a privately owned web hosting company based in Florida. Founded in 2001, HostDime finally opened its first state-of-the-art data center in Florida in 2003 and migrated all their web hosting service operations from their prior third party data center located in New Jersey. Early 2005, HostDime opened their second data center, adding over 10,000 square feet of additional space.
HostDime offers a wide range of products: website hosting, colocation, reseller hosting, virtual private servers and dedicated servers. Each plan is backed up by quality service and support.

Their shared hosting packages start at only $9.00 a month and delivers great performance with plenty of features. HostDime offers cPanel, which is the best web control panel for Linux servers in my opinion. This very mature control panel will help you perform all imaginable administrative tasks from within a few clicks and it's very easy to use.
You also get Fantastico Deluxe, a great script installer that will help you automate the installation of popular web softwares like Wordpress, phpBB, Joomla or osCommerce in no time.

Might you need more flexibility and performance, HostDime offers affordable VPS packages starting at $60 per month with 50GB of disk space, 512MB of RAM and 2 IP addresses. Virtual private servers come with cPanel / WHM to help you manage your server. Their VPS plans run on dual processor dual core AMD Opteron 64 bit processors and they use SCSI drives with RAID 5 to prevent hardware failures.
You can also go for the major leagues with HostDime's dedicated servers. With entry-level servers starting as low as $115 per month to high-end dedicated hosting with 2 Intel Xeon Quad-Core 2.0GHz processors with 2GB of RAM, HostDime has a server for you. All their dedicated hosting plans are fully managed by a team of highly expert staff.
