SignUp Forum * Space can not be combined and no additional domains can be hosted on the main free account * You can see many more similarities between the two sites if you look closely. For instance, it appears that they share a number of servers with the same names -- check their status pages: [url=http://www.hostdime.com/status/]hostdime[/url] and [url=http://www.surpasshosting.com/?x=status]surpass[/url] :roll: So I can tell you that I feel somewhat relieved I didn't sign up with surpass (and I don't think I will with hostdime either :-P ) I first became a bit uneasy about surpass when I was browsing through their pages and found a few links not working -- this is always a warning sign. Then I looked at their terms of service and found a few things that didn't add up. I posted a few questions in the forums, which got some weird answers, and so on. Before I viewed this thread here, I had already made up my mind not to go with them when I found that they don't offer IP addresses as standard with reseller packages (although they would if you pay them extra). I am not saying that you should not sign up with them, they might be ok, and some people posting here seem very happy with them. But I thought that the xoop community should be aware that surpass is not as 'unique' as it is claimed on their site (And, of course, this in itself is not a crime, but when it comes to someone hosting my sites ....)

Everybody has different experiences.

We've been very happy with Surpass Hosting, who always went extra mile for us, when needed.

The best way is to try few different ones, and then stick to that one that you like the best

Hostdime is the best hosting company I have dealt with. They provide you with proper plans, good support and they value their customers. I should say they are simply superb. I really don't understand, why you don't choose them..

It is very easy for any company to make a fast bid to be the best, collect customers and loyalty and then slip into bad ways. Hosting follows exactly the same patterns. No-one wants to move host because they bomb out or slide down the tube, so longevity is an important factor. SurpassHosting has provided me the best and most consistent service of ANY OTHER HOST. I have been with several in the past, so I can say with confidense ... so far ... and regardless of the politics ... they are still my No; 1

Having started this thread being doubtful of "consistency" of fast growing company with "subsidiaries", I want to post my newbie experiences (I have no comparison) so far:

Surpass is great in support and very responsive. So it is easy to discover the possibilities/advantages of "cpanel-reseller-account" (even I am not a commercial reseller), having good support if trouble occurs.

What I enjoy very much, that surpass responded quickly and opened a forum specially for Xoops-users (thats raising synergies in many ways and assures support among "surpass-xoopsies").

What I dont know about is "performance in a virtual host environment" (there is no traffic on my pages).

In the end, I am a "very happy newbie" on surpass hosting and can recommend surpass for "my sort of requirements" warmly.

best regards asche

PS:
If surpass manages to allow/supply better tools for remote administration of database (better than phpadmin -> doesnot allow to display results of really big queries in result window -> thats the way I transfer tables and data between different databases, just saving results to textfiles), I will post a thread "fans of surpass" ... ))

As a former client of Surpass Hosting let just say I was for the most part happy with the service. But I have to admit their support response were pretty bad. It took about 1 to 8 hours before a response. Now they say its less than and hour. I still dont belive it... well i cant test it because im not a client with them anymore.
