After being disappointed time after time by hosting companies, I finally found MDDHosting!

I can't say enough good things about them. The only way that you can tell that they are a small company is by the unparalleled customer service that they offer. It is excellent in every way.

Other than that, they do everything that the big hosting companies I have my other sites with do, only they do it much better. As my contracts run out, I will definitely be migrating to these guys.

We ended up at MDD after two other hosts failed to live up to minimum expectations. We researched shared hosting plans very carefully when faced with moving our PHP e-commerce site (Sunshop) for a third time, and that research led us to MDD. Making another bad hosting choice would have put us out of business, so I exchanged enough emails with Michael to dispel my reservations. His answers were honest and informative; he even suggested some other hosts in case I didn't want to go with MDD for some reason. The move went smoothly under difficult circumstances (our previous host was uncooperative). Uptime in the three months since we moved has been 100% and the server is always fast and stable. It's so much better than our previous hosts that business has actually increased.

MDD Hosting has got to be the best in the business. They are quick with their responses and seem to be very reliable. I am extremely happy with their services and doubt I will go anywhere else for my hosting needs.

I have a Basic VPS at MDD Hosting I use for most of my web development customers, and the server has not had any appreciable downtime since I signed up six months ago. My decision to go with MDD was based on several factors, including their reputation among current customers, the fact that their support forums are open to the public so you can see any complaints (many companies close their support forums), and ... a nice touch ... I was able to take advantage of a great sale price on the server.

I have had one problem related to MDD that were very quickly taken care of, and several issues that were "self inflicted" that they also quickly resolved (and didn't make me feel like an idiot in the process). The problem that was MDD's fault was actually a billing error that came up as a result of MDD extending a 20% bonus offer for deposited funds to all existing customers (another nice touch!) The billing department didn't catch the deposit when renewal time came around, and the account was suspended. Mike, the owner, took care of the issue within 10 minutes of me leaving a voice mail.

The measure of any host is not whether there will ever be problems, because there will ALWAYS be a problem. It is how they react to the problems, and MDDHosting is absolutely great at what they do.

MDD has been an amazing host. Support is quick and extremely helpful. All of my issues and questions were answered within a few minutes at most, and the issues themselves were quickly resolved as well.

For all that you get with their hosting, the price you pay is well worth it. For shared hosting, the support alone is worth what you would pay. With everything else you receive, MDD Hosting is beyond worth buying.

The uptime with MDD is great, I rarely have any downtime, or lag. Notices are posted well in advance so you can quickly notify your users.

Mike is a great guy, and he has integrity. MDD Hosting is the only web host that I would recommend to anyone. I plan to stay with them for a long time.

That's the only way I can describe my experience with MDD hosting and the personal care and attention I've received from John, Scott and Mike. Let me backtrack for a sec: we're an entertainment-oriented site creating family and children content, and have been in the broadband business for over a decade. The last few years we've had some serious issues with various hosting companies, and one of the most problematic was an account we had on FatCow. Talk about a horrific situation. You guys have read all about how awful FatCow is, and I'm here to confirm it. Well, after doing some research we found MDD recommended on several community boards so we decided to try them out. John took my call and boy did he get an earful... I told him from the getgo that we were majorly frustrated and needed HELP fast. He patiently listened to what was going on, answered my questions HONESTLY, and I hung up the phone feeling like there was a company out there who actually CARED. Within 48 hours, MDD was transferring my site from FatCow, and the transition was pretty smooth. A few bumps with my shopping cart came up... and this was what REALLY impressed me: John, Scott and Mike again LISTENED to the problem and vowed to correct it -- even though, technically, it wasn't an issue on their end. When Mike jumped in, rolled up his sleeves, and got in there to help rectify this -- as though my site was his -- well I just couldn't believe the level of service. And ever since my site has been served on MDD, its been working flawlessly -- and yes, FAST! As soon as we're done building the site, I'll share the link and you guys can come take a look. But meanwhile, for any of you who are out there feeling hopeless, or frustrated because your hosting company has driven you to the edge of madness, please check out MDD. You will NOT be disappointed. Real people answering real phones and having honest to goodness conversations with you about your situation. I am in no way affiliated with MDD, just a very satisfied customer wanting to promote a great company.

MDDHosting is what all companies should strive for when it comes to customer service and support, each time I contact them regarding an issue they where always helpful and ensuring the issue was fully resolved. They go above and beyond what you come to expect from a hosting company.

Reliability: There have been some issues with server slowdowns however they where promptly resolved by mddhosting hence the perfect score.

Support: Never seen better customer support.

Features: Fits my needs perfectly.

Pricing: Value for what I'm receiving is excellent.

If your looking for a host which doesn't oversell and offers excellent customer support look no further, MDDHosting is your host of choice.

MDDHosting was first brought to my attention during a desperate search for alternate hosting. A two-year contract with my previous host was coming to a close. My previous host made numerous policy and service changes which negatively impacted their performance in hosting and customer service.

During my research, I discovered some highly positive reviews for MDDHosting. This didn't seem out of the ordinary, as there are many positive reviews about nearly all hosting companies. What really sparked my interest in MDDHosting were not the positive reviews about them, but the fact that I was unable to find a single negative review. I must admit, it was kind of suspicious at first, so I did some more investigating.

On the MDDHosting Company Website, their forums are open to the public. MDDHosting posts publicly all issues relating to their servers from DDoS attacks, to simple maintenance reboots. The company is open for anyone who is curious about their services. All you have to do is ask; either on their forum, or privately via email. What truly surprises is how honest their answers are. Where other companies will try to up-sell you more services, or a bigger package, MDDHosting will actually down-sell you a package at a lower rate than you are looking at, should they believe the extras unnecessary. You can always upgrade later should your Website grow and become in need of it.

Prior to signing up, I asked MDDHosting several questions of concern specific to myself and my Websites, including an extra question I never believed they would actually answer; If MDDHosting didn't exist, what other Webhosting companies would you recommend?

Not only were all concerns thoroughly addressed, but they actually recommended a couple alternate companies. I must say, that pretty much sealed the deal right there and I signed up with MDDHosting a week before my contract with my old hosting company expired.

Sign-up was a snap and I immediately began transferring my Websites. I could easily have asked MDDHosting to do all the work for me and they would have gladly accepted, but I did it myself with the tools they provide. I recall my previous host taking two days to get things going completely. Not the case here. Once the transfer was complete my Websites were up and running.

MDDHosting isn't one of those hosts who overload their servers with more clients than a server can adequately handle. Nor do they offer unlimited storage and bandwidth. Now some clients may think that unlimited storage and bandwidth is better, but my experience told me otherwise. My previous host switched to unlimited during my contract. Not long after, they messaged me stating that my Website was using too much storage and if my files weren't reduced, they would suspend my account. Not only was my storage below my quota before the change to unlimited, but they would not tell me how many GBs of storage I needed to reduce my storage by when I asked them. They just said, "We can't say, but you're using too much." This is where having a set number for storage and bandwidth helps. I know my limits and don't have to worry about violating any unwritten terms of service. Especially since MDDHosting provides a massive amount of bandwidth in their most basic shared hosting package. I may eventually expand to the point where I will have to upgrade to increase my storage, but I don't foresee my Websites ever touching the bandwidth cap.

Since my initial sign-up with MDDHosting, the past six months has been great. MDDHosting emails me about every little thing that may affect my hosting. Some may think this is unnecessary, but coming from a host who doesn't even inform their customers of the most major problems, it's nice to know that even the littlest things are important to MDDHosting. Issues are very uncommon, too. Most of the maintenance conducted are additions to enhance the performance of their servers. MDDHosting is always improving their already fantastic services.

The customer service at MDDHosting is fantastic. You can contact them about anything. It doesn't have to be a problem. Even general inquiries are happily and quickly addressed. I mean quick, too; often within minutes. The folks at MDDHosting are so on the ball it's amazing.

It's more than evident that the people at MDDHosting are not in business to squeeze the most from a consumer dollar, they are in business because they are passionate about what they do. I'm fairly confident that I will be with MDDHosting for a good many years, perhaps even for life!

I have moved to MDD Hosting from Ipage hosting company. After my first review of hosting market I have chosen Ipage more or less because of cheap price. When I started to work with them - I became frustrated... the speed was really bad + no gzip possibility for content. Then I made my second review and I found some remarks about MDD Hosting company. Finally I have made decision to try this Hosting Company.

Back to my experience with MDD hosting for last couple months - I would say you can rely on it. The connection/download page speed is very good, I can gzip my content, no problems at all.

Moreover Michael is really customer focused guy, I had one question a while ago and forward it on Saturday. I got answer emailed to me already on Sunday morning!

Good luck Michael, you do your best with your business.

I've used several web hosts in the past, most recently 3essentials (who are pretty good). However, this new site had special requirements, so I hunted around, especially on the webhostingtalk forums (nearly stumbled into mochahost - thankfully I avoided it) - and spoke to the owner/manager of MDDhosting (Mike) to discuss our needs.

He was more than happy to provide the hosting we required, at a bargain price, and I felt genuinely guilty using the promo code! He's continued to provide absolutely first class service - for the first time ever, I've found a host which is genuinely faultless.

I cannot recommend this host highly enough.

I have been with three hosts prior to signing up with MDDHosting, and there's simply not enough room here to list all the great experiences I've had. Their response time and helpful assistance to support tickets is UNPARALLELED!

I probably don't know as much as I should about the ins and outs of having a large website, but with MDDHosting by my side, I never worry about that anymore!

Truly special.

Anyone looking for a great host, look no further!

When I decided to move to another host I really didn't have any expectations, but what I found was amazing. We haven't had a single minute down, we got support that was personal and that answered all my stupid questions and when it was time for moving my whole IPB board from IPS, my members didn't even notice...

Michael (or his staff) made the impossible possible for us, I'm so impressed still.

Since the move it's been three months and we haven't had a single glitch since.

And - this is the great part. We went from a $29.90 deal to $6.38 a month. Okey, we had to buy our software from IPS, but still!

I wouldn't move from MDD hosting for anything, not while it's working as great as now!

So I was checking the stats on my site I listed here and see a link from here. Well its been 15 months and I am still a MDD customer.

Great support, personalized service, and deff recommend.

Ha, I even worked at Hostgator for a while and wouldnt even think of canceling this host to use them. I cant say about prices since I havent looked at any other hosts, but worth every penny.

I had been with another hosting company for around 9 years and when it got sold, things started to go down hill fast. While I wasn't thrilled about the decline in service and support, I dreaded the thought of having to migrate my site to a new host. When emails suddenly started getting blocked from reaching me and I was given lame excuses ("It's not our fault") I finally decided it was time to move on.

I researched some other hosts for around a week and just about had my mind made up when I stumbled on a review of MDD Hosting. I had a look around their site and also found some other reviews around the web and felt that this was the host for me. I posted a message on their forum with some concerns I had (some problems I was having with my then current host) and I liked what I heard back.

Since I have only been with MDD Hosting for around 2 weeks at the time of this writing, I can't comment much on long-term reliability, but I can say that my site and email access have certainly seen improvement in speed and short-term reliability since the move.

I moved my entire site myself, including databases, so I also can't comment on their site transferring service. However, I did have one small problem with SSI on a couple of my pages and they were quick to respond to the ticket. I ended up figuring out and fixing the problem myself but none the less their initial response was quick and it pointed me in the right direction. I am confident that they would have provided me with the solution had I not been able to figure it out.

Having looked at several hosts and comparing prices, MDD wasn't the *cheapest* but anyone who has hosted before knows that lots of times the prices on the hosting company's website are smoke and mirrors and you end up paying more anyway. With MDD, there was no smoke nor mirrors (no hidden fees). Could I have found a cheaper host? Probably, but as the old saying goes, sometimes you get what you pay for. Sometimes saving a couple bucks a month isn't the best deal. I'm actually paying nearly half what I used to pay my old host and I'm getting much more for my money now. When I first started my site years ago I ended up having to keep upgrading to higher packages to meet different limitations (storage and transfer limits). I believe this is what drove it up so high and I just never realized that prices dropped over time yet I was still on an older (and more expensive) plan. The move to MDD Hosting was a WIN-WIN for me. Better service and better value.

First class service and support. Have been a customer for the last 2 years and have never had a issue with performance. They have upgraded Apache to Lightspeed helped increase performance all without passing on any cost.

On the last two occasions I have required help support got back to me within 10mins!

MDDHosting service has been excellent and top notice thus far. We love the speed of the site, the uptime, the support when needed (few and far between), and the features (the automatic backups are wonderful especially). Overall I would rate it 9.6/10. The only dockage of points would be for downtime during the day when I personally used our sales web application we have hosted (understandable).

Since I have only good things to say I'll make it short... :) I would like to thank you personally for a great service.

I'm extremely pleased with your service. MDDHosting is not the first webhost I hosted with and I can say the support is one of the most important things to look at when selecting a webhost. I'm very impressed with the fast and professional support provided.

I'm also happy with the performance and reliability of the service. I was pleasantly surprised by the backup tools you provide which I did not expect at all.

I recommend MDDHosting with all my heart.

Thank you,

MDDHosting has provided me with the service you wish a hosting company would give you but that is so difficult to find. Their professionalism is evident from the very first time you contact you have with them.

I came to MDDHosting after having an uncomfortable experience with another hosting company. After that, I scavenged the Internet for weeks looking for a hosting company and I am so glad I finally signed with MDDHosting.

The service and knowledge that Michael Denny provides is excellent. And you can take their words when they say “No overpricing”. For the base price of my chosen package, I am receiving in MDDHosting the priority service I had to pay for in another company.

I met Michael online about 4 months ago when my then web hosting company was beginning to crumble. He helped transfer my account and provided reassurances of better service.

I have not been disappointed. MDD is an extremely proficient company and usually manages to answer support tickets in 10 minutes or less.

They get an A+ for running their business with a good product and unmatched customer support.

If you are looking for great customer service and someone who knows what they are talking about then this is the host to use.

I have had many hosts in the last 7 years and after feeling Michael out and asking him tons of questions I was so confident in him that I prepaid for a year. The rate plan was reasonable and wasnt filled with the bait and switch unlimited this and that with all the fine print.

I took advantage of there offer to move my old sites from the horrible host I was with and WOW, they really did the work to restore all my sites that didnt transfer correctly by hand and they really did give 100%. He did the backups and transfers until the old host finally made a good copy that was usable. He spent about a week just to get my sites all moved and running correct.

Something that really caught my eye was the fact that you can utilize 25% or resources for up to 90 secs. This is important so your sites wont give 500 server errors and the host telling you that you are overloading there servers.

I do have to say I have only been with them a month and finally all the sites are moved over and running on there servers. So far no problems and I cant tell you how nice it is to NOT get 500 server errors constantly. So nice not to get that dreaded email from my monitoring company that the sites are down.

If you want that personalized service then this is the place. I email Michael so much I feel like hes my buddy and he usually replies within mins, making me feel like his only client.

Deff recommend!!

i was been in a mess between my hosting and the hosting datacenter. almost lost all my datas becuase of it. byt fortunately, the datacenter give us the chance to get our data for 2-5 days.. then i searched good reseller in webhostingtalk when the issue is getting worst.. i tried a good reseller hosting but it doesn't suit my needs so i keep on searching and then i finally reach mddhosting.. went to support online and there, michael is infact in the support line talking to me. what a good support since i really need hosting asap. owner and customer relationship is good for me.. since i always end up years on my hostings.. so then, when i asked all the necessary questions i needed and michael answer it politely ive decided to get an account. after i purchased an account (while we are talking) he then set it up the account immediately.. but the good thing there is he is going to transfer my sites to my mddhosting account as much a possible.. then after a few hours all my site are setup all necessary actions needed for my sites have been done.. im very happy going with mddhosting and for sure i will be using them for years.. thanks a lot michael for your politeness and very well attitude among customers.

keep up the good work!

I've been using shared hosting for some years now but lately found my sites were getting more and more sluggish, so I started looking around for a new host. Problem is, who do you choose? And what kind of service? I wanted something better than shared hosting but didn't fancy the complexities of VPS. After some research I signed up for MDDhosting.com's basic Semi-Dedicated plan for one month to test them out. If it didn't work out I'd only be out twenty bucks

The set-up was fast - I was transferring my test sites within minutes of receiving their (five) instant welcome emails. When I had problems with the transfer, MDD's support team were very responsive (like, in minutes!) and when it got a bit tangled, Michael himself helped to sort it out. After the initial issues (all my fault for setting things up wrong) the transfer of the rest of my sites was quick and painless. I'm now signed up MDDhosting's Intermediate Semi-Dedicated service.

I'm relieved, with semi-dedicated hosting, that they won't bog down over time with added subscribers. I'm impressed with MDDhosting.com's quality of service and I'm VERY happy at how fast my sites load now. I give MDDhosting.com a ten out of ten! :D

Usual disclaimer: I'm not connected to MDDhosting.com in any way, other than being a happy customer. I don't normally post on forums but I was impressed by this company's service and I'm sure there are other small webmasters with the same kind of problems with hosting that I had.

Before I start, let me say that I'm aware I have no prior posts, and thus my review might not be as star-studded as it should, but I had to write one. I've been through the ringer, and dealt with a lot of hosts. A few decent, but most horrible. I was beginning to think the only way to have a good host would be to lease a server and run it myself.

I just recently moved over to MDDHosting, and immediately my script gave me trouble. Most hosts would either say sorry, you're on your own, or we'll gladly help for a fee. I set out to figure out the issue, and was unable to figure it out. The outlook was pretty grim. My last resort was support from the host.

I opened a live chat session, and was connected to Michael. He informed me that they don't officially support any scripts, but he'd be glad to try to help. We went through the entire documentation of the script, and also a handful of forum posts across the web, hopelessly searching for the issue. Eventually, I had to get the script's development team to help point out the issue, but to Michael's credit, he did everything he could to help.

So I thought I was out of the water. Nope.

Later that day I realized my login function wasn't working, along with other issues. Michael was again very helpful. This time, he was able to go beyond what I reported to him, and fix issues I didn't even know about before he mentioned them to me. He even went as far as to rebuild the modules needed for my script to be 100% positive the issue wasn't server-side only. In the end, we learned that many of the issues were related to permissions.

Us: 2, Script: 0. And of course, another issue was discovered.

By now, most hosts would have said, "this guy's an idiot", and told me to figure it out myself. Michael was still very helpful. Already I knew I had found a good host. This time, the issue at hand was totally undocumented. I decided it wasn't a key feature, and was willing to let it go. Michael didn't give up. He plowed through all of my heavily modded code, and found the issue to be a very well buried single line of code, referring to an incorrect path. It was this that showed me MDDHosting is more than a good host. They're great. Fantastic even.

Considering the fact that all of the issues turned out to be my fault, I am ecstatic that I found MDDHosting, and that Michael was happy to help. I've never, ever, ever seen a host even remotely as responsive and helpful as these guys. The best part is they NEVER EVEN THOUGHT TO ASK ME TO PAY FOR HELP! Every chat was answered within 30 seconds(literally!). I can't even imagine how you guys do it, but at any rate, what I'm really getting at here is this; THANK YOU!

(sorry to make you guys read a 10-page essay, but there were a lot of things to cover here.)

I've had nothing but success when working with MDDHosting. Special requests have always come through quickly and gracefully. As long as they stick to their guns on not overselling their servers, I don't think I'll ever be looking for a new web host.

Hello,

Today I am writing my review on MDDHosting with who I have hosted with for the last 3 months. They have been wonderful and are definitely one of the best hosts that I have come across.

Michael at MDDHosting (MikeDVB on the forums) has been very good with me as he is primarily the person that has helped me when I needed it. I was originally with Toehosting and after speaking with Mike he talked me into making the switch to his servers and promised me that I would not regret it and I'm happy to post that he was right. The server that I was placed on was faster in just about every way than the servers I had been on in the past and I have not experienced any downtime that I was not notified about beforehand. MDDHosting did notify me that they were upgrading their server equipment and that I was on one of the servers being upgraded and that I may experience some downtime but I watched carefully and there was no apparent downtime, they did a good job on the upgrade.

Support has been great, not only Michael but everybody I have spoken with at MDDHosting. Every support ticket I have put in has been responded to in under 5 minutes and just about every ticket I have put in has been fully resolved within about 10 to 15 minutes. I have primarily used their support desk for help although I have contacted Michael via MSN as well as calling them when I was not near a computer and they have always been very helpful.

I cannot complain about their service whatsoever, their uptime has, as previously mentioned, been excellent. I've not had one minute of downtime so I am very pleased, and to top everything off their servers are not crowded and they don't oversell so their server speeds are second to none (very fast).

For service and support I give MDDHosting a 10/10 and I highly recommend them. It should also be noted that I started out on a custom package after talking with sales and eventually worked my way up to one of their normal plans so if you need a custom plan talk to them as they will probably be able to work with you.

Their web site is http://www.mddhosting.com/

I know from browsing these forums that people will ask what my domain is, I have already submitted my domain for review by the moderators by reporting this post.

Thanks again Michael for such wonderful service.
