Web Hosting Reviews for HostMDS

This is the WORST hosting company known to man hands down garbage in a stick. Back when it was Hostingplex before the total meltdown it was a pretty decent company with a substantial uptime and friendly helpful customer service. When Milienium Data took over in November 2008, almost a full year of hot steaming garbage occurred. I mean server hacks, server transfer issues, DNS configs, you name it, it happened to me. Recently today after 3 months of trying to call I was blessed with someone answered the phone for once. Boy was she a winner for technical support, not only did she degrade me, she also wouldn't assist me in transferring domains until I opened up a ticket with Opensrs.com Compliance Officer because guess what? HostMDS is not an authorized Registrar, they wholesale from Tucows. Something they don't mention in there contracts etc. Horrible service, horrible attitudes, with a you broke it attitude we won't fix it. Just plain out horrible to the point it made me cuss. I guess that consolidation and better support never occurred? Because it's been over a year and I went running for the hills from you guys. Anyone reading this? Make sure you don't sign up with these guys. Shining example of never answering phone calls, tech issues, or resolving anything of any sort. Multiple server hacks, degradation in CSR, the only thing I give this company is there Cpanel, but since the website or servers never work good luck using it.

I have been with HostMDS since they took over VistaPages. The amount of downtime with this host is simply unbelievable. As I write this my sites have been down for 48 hours and still no meaningful response from support besides the standard "We apologise for the inconvenience". I've had enough and I am currently in the process of transferring my domains elsewhere. I strongly recommend avoiding this webhost.

I have a dozen blogs running with them. Uptime is good, pricing is great. Support is ok - not the best, but everything else makes up for it. I recommend.
