Pricing and Payment Methods

One of the things that impressed us most about TMDHosting is the company’s variety of plans. Each plan provides you with unlimited SSD storage and bandwidth, a free domain, automatic SSL certificates, and integrated cPanel. The upper tier hosting plans also give you a free memcache instance of up to 256MB for faster site loading, and unlimited websites hosted. TMD’s shared hosting services, which are available with both Windows and Linux, start as low as $3.99 and $2.95, respectively.

The company’s cloud plans start as low as $5.95, and grant you similar benefits, but add up to 6 CPU cores and 6 GB of DDR4 RAM as well as an impressive 99.999% uptime guarantee. If you’re looking for WordPress hosting, you can choose from plans starting as low as $5.95 a month. For advanced users who require VPS or dedicated hosting, TMDHosting provides a variety of high-powered choices. VPS Hosting starts as low as $19.97 a month, and gives you up to 200GB of SSD storage, 10TB of bandwidth, 12GB of DDR4 Ram, and free setup.

Dedicated hosting plans are slightly pricier though we found they’re still within the industry average. The most affordable dedicated package starts at $79.97 a month, and gives you 1TB of RAID-10 storage, 4 CPU cores, and 8 GB of DD4 RAM. For all the company’s plans, you can easily scale up or down based on your website’s evolving needs to ensure you’re paying only for what you need.

Ease of Use

We were happy to find that TMDHosting is easy to use regardless of whether you’re a beginner or an expert. For novice web developers, the company offers a free website builder courtesy of Weebly, as well as around the clock support and more than 400 1-click integrations that make it easy to set up the services and tools you need for your site. Additionally, you can easily transfer your website if you already have one.

For advanced users, some of the more complex features include memcache instances for faster website loading, support for 9 versions of PHP, unlimited FTP accounts and MySQL databases, and scripting support for CGI scripts, PERL, and Python. Additionally, they offer easy .htaccess and PHP.INI management. Overall, we liked the flexibility and straightforward customizability TMDhosting delivers.

Load Times and Reliability

While uptimes around 99.9% are standard promises in the industry, TMDHosting takes their guarantee a step further. The company promises 99.99% uptime on most of its plans, and 99.999% for its cloud hosting packages. We test companies’ reliability and loading speeds over several months to see how they perform on average, and we were impressed to see that TMDHosting largely delivers on its promise.

Although there were some minor outages over the span of a few months, we generally experienced no issues when trying to access our website. In terms of loading times, TMDHosting performed well within the industry average. Load times in general were between 1.2 and 2.0 seconds, which matches Google’s recommended speeds for indexing. Even if the company’s loading times aren’t blazing fast, impressive uptimes that were as high as 99.9996% in our tests make it a great value.

Features

We were impressed with the many features TMDHosting offers as standard options in all their plans. Shared hosting plans give you unlimited storage and bandwidth as well as unlimited websites at higher tiers. Moreover, cPanel is included in all the company’s hosting plans. All the company’s hosting packages also incorporate basic caching, as well as automated SSL encryption.

The company’s advanced features, including PHP versions and unlimited FTP and MySQL instances, are also included for free in most plans. Another aspect that stood out to us is how the features are geared toward customer satisfaction. TMDHosting offers a generous 60-day money-back guarantee in case you are unhappy for any reason with your plan and provides 24/7/365 support for all their hosting plans.

If you’re looking for reseller hosting, you can create unlimited cPanel dashboards and domains. Additionally, your reseller plans include pre-integrated payment solutions for your clients as well as premium support from TMDHosting.

Customer Support

We had a largely positive experience with TMDHosting’s support staff, and though there is some room for improvement, they resolved all our issues. The company promises 24/7/365 support for all its plans, as well as a 15-minute response time, guaranteed. We found that this guarantee is true. No matter the issue we reported to the company, we always received a quick response. However, some issues take longer to resolve so in some cases what you receive is just an acknowledgment that your issue is being addressed.

In addition, you can use the company’s excellent knowledge base and blog, which feature several interesting articles and valuable guides that help you work through problems and common setup or maintenance issues on your own. One area where we would like to see some upgrades is access to more channels for reaching customer support. Currently, you can only contact the company via a support ticket. Overall, however, the company’s service was excellent and capably resolved all our issues.
