Scot Meyer ( scotchy32000(at)yahoo(dot)com ) | We have just terminated our contract with HostMDS. Originally it was VistaPages but then a couple of years ago it switched to HostMDS. Their billing department has been unable to process invoices in a timely manner leaving our site down for days. Their technical support staff took our website down without notice because they said we were hacked into. Then when I asked them for a backup (isn't that what they should be doing anyway) they said they didn't have a recent one and restored a backup from 2 years ago which was considerably outdated and caused us to have to redo all our mailing lists and web pages.
Recently when we decided to let the account lapse they all of a sudden processed an automatic payment (of which they have never done in the past 3 yeears) When we asked for a refund they blamed it on us and our inability to cancel the invoice.
Our site was up 97% of the time. We solely chose their service based on price and ability to host JSP pages so I suppose you get what you pay for. They do not seem to be keeping up with the trends of the JSP replacement of JSF and the Apache Web Server and Tomcat containers. When we ask for updated software they told us its not in their plans currently.

Daniel ( dcaldwel[at]danielcaldwell[dot]com ) | I'm leaving this host. I started with hostingplex who then were bought by hostmds. They deleted my entire website and then said it was too difficult to restore it from their backups. Then they got angry with me. You never want a host that will delete your site "accidentally" and then not restore it from backups. They're the worst hosting company that I've ever had.
Also, their spam assassin settings weren't available. They sent me screen shots that were inaccurate. Their tech support is the worst.

Lager Monster
( lager_monster(at)hotmail(dot)com ) | I started off with hostingplex which was very good all the way up to the end where they sold out to hostmds without informing customers. I only found out about the sellout when services stopped and support would not get back to me.
I had 3 domains with different accounts, of these one server was down for 2 months, all data was lost. I had to quickly sign up with another provider and restore from backups. Forget about reimbursements from the 1 year of services left..
The second account I passed on to another web support company that quickly change the web hosting provider.
I write this now because the 3rd and final account has been down for the past 3 days. Its easter and I hope that it is down due to lack of techs on deck and not because of a major outage resulting in data loss again.
Once I get the data backed up I am jumping ship.
I can recommend dreamhost.com

Josh ( -no email- ) | These guys are the biggest scam out there. I signed up with vistapages back in the beginning and they were really good. Then this garbage company bought them, and hosting went south really really fast. I had a monitor running for 3 months and it said i had 82% uptime. Absolutely terrible. I was emailing and calling them every night to try to get them to fix it. Most phone calls were ignored and emails were always pre-written messages. My contract is finally up soon and I'm getting out fast!!

-anonymous- ( -no email- ) | I'm giving this one star because that's the lowest one could. I opened my hosting account with VistaPages, which then became HostMDS. Since then, the service has been nothing but terrible. They wrote up whatever they felt like in TOS and changed it as they pleased. They would suspend my account now and then without any warning or explanation. Finally, they suspended my account saying I was doing too much processing. I agreed to take down my processes even though they failed to give me a more appropriate technical explanation. I shut down almost entire backend, and monitored my account for 48 hours that it was not causing any problem. But they shut down my account once again without a warning or explanation. When asked for a reason, they told me I brought down their server. That's neither technical, nor useful. A guy there named Mohit Sharma went personal on this and made sure that my account doesn't get reactivated. When called, their customer service reps hung up on me - twice. I couldn't get a supervisor to talk to me. So as of now, they have shut down my account and refused to refund my unused portion of the service (more than a year's fees).
So there you go. If you want to pay upfront for the worst service (technical and customer), go waste your money on HostMDS, or whatever else it may become in the future. If you still decide to take your chances, I suggest you keep a good backup of all your stuff, and have a backup plan in case they do what they did to me. And be prepared for feeling paralyzed when they hang up on you and simply shut you down taking away all your hard work in a snap.

Scot Rosenberg ( rosenbs at gmail dot com ) | The worst company I've ever dealt with, I have 3 servers with them on 2 accounts, 1 server has crashed twice for no reason and it took them hours to reboot it, the other server has crashed once but because the senior administrator was out for the weekend I had to wait from Friday to Monday morning until it was rebooted.

Muriel ( muriela at raasa dot org ) | HostMDS is a fraudulent company. Their former company Hostvector charged us fraudulently for accounts that were not ours. We discontinued our account twice and even still we continue to be automatically deducted through our account. The assistance is subversive, evasive and criminal. She refuses to pass along to a manager and avoids reimbursing fraudulent charges by insisting that they have no record of payments made even though bank charges to our account show that they have. DON'T GO NEAR THIS COMPANY.

Peter ( ebcs at cna dot ne dot jp ) | Over the last couple of years my site has been down more often than I would like, but it has usually been up again within a couple of hours.
Support is a bit hit and miss. Sometimes I'll get a response from them very quickly, sometimes it's even helpful, but over the last few weeks in particular, my site has been going down more and more frequently, and as I write it has been down for almost 36 hours. Response from support has been very quick, but it's just the "We apologise for the inconvenience and are looking into it..." message again and again.
In short, it's pretty cheap and the features are ok, but if you're looking for reliability, HostMDS is not for you.

According to awatch, the uptime for my website last week was 87.25%. Socialengine's website recommended this company without first checking them out. What a mess. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Fred Carlson ( -no email- ) | I read many of these reviews before renewing with Host MDS. My uptime has been pretty good. I'm sure it's not five 9's or anything, but for most people it's fine. Their Support is actually quite good. Each time I open a ticket with them they are very quick in replying and typically have a solution in place.
This is a pretty inexpensive host and you do get what you pay for. But for the price, they're not as bad as these reviews make them out to be.

Eben Yep ( -no email- ) | 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.

James ( hoadn(at)article(dot)vn ) | In compare between HostMDS and the HostUpon, the hostmds is much more better.
I've been using them about 6 month, they had suspend me once, but the server load seem good.
The best thing i know and that the thing i need in hostmds is the streaming ability.
Using hostmds, you can use video sharing script, the sever is ready to use for video script like clip share, php motion, Social Engzine...
I quite like them, i know the fact that sometime the customer service is lower than others.

peter ( -no email- ) | Please stay away from HostMDS. They are HORRIBLE!...
I was with vistapages for over two years, which was bought out by HostMDS. They have ZERO support. They somehow tried charging me $1199 (instead of $94), and made it incredibly difficult to get things straightened out (many phone calls, left messages, etc). They claim to have 24/7 support, but calling after 5pm leaves you on hold for ~25 minutes, after which you get a notice that you need to enter a "priority support agreement number', otherwise get disconnected.
Extremely frustrating experience.

Johnjon99 ( arregorn[at]gmail[dot]com ) | I gave HostMDS an overview rating of 1, because they are absolutely HORRIBLE when it comes to up-time reliability. It seems that at least 5 days out of the week, you're undoubtedly going to sit there WAITING and WAITING and WAITING and WAITING for your site to come up. It is absolutely HORRIBLE. I just wrote them for the 12th time in the past 2 weeks letting them know that my site is just CRAWLING (and it's hardly doing that).
I really should press matters in regards to a refund as it has been THAT BAD. I honestly don't know why I stuck with them this long. Laziness on my part I guess.
Everything else is so-so. The only good thing is that they use cPanel. Otherwise, stay clear of this company unless you're okay with your site not loading.
