Hosting Features
I’ve been using MDDHosting since 2011. During all this time, they’ve gone through many changes when it comes to their hosting plans, server specifications, and website design.
One thing has been constant throughout all these years, however. Quality of support. Their technical support, especially, is one of the best in the shared hosting space, and that has always been the case since 2011.
Over the years, they’ve upgraded their servers with newer, faster and more capable hardware, expanded their team to include more support staff, and introduced a plethora of new (and actually useful) features like Let’s Encrypt, LiteSpeed Cache support, and StorPool-powered servers with a 1000% uptime guaranty (not a typo).
If you’re interested in signing up with them, this entirely revamped version of my MDDHosting review will help you gauge how well they do in areas like site speed, uptime, included features, performance/cost ratio, and quality of support.
Performance
MDD’s shared servers are incredibly fast, and consistently so. When it comes to performance, they’ll definitely be in the top 5% of the web hosts that I’ve tested.
As you can see in the screenshot above, a moderately heavy (but well-optimized) page loaded in just over 400 ms, which is a really great result that you don’t usually achieve on most other shared hosts’ servers.
This impressive speed can be attributed to a few things:
LiteSpeed Web Server, along with support for the LiteSpeed Cache module, which is the fastest and best caching solution for WordPress, in my experience.
Fully SSD-powered servers, resulting in fast I/O times.
Support for the latest PHP version (7.2), which performs faster than even HHVM.
StorPool storage platform allows user data to be stored in multiple drives at the same time, and the distributed nature of the platform ensures that the data can be accessed from multiple drives at the same time, thus hugely boosting I/O operations per second (they claim a 900% increase vs. non-redundant storage solutions).
Very Fast in Page Load Time above 750 ms

StorPool Powered
Our StorPool powered storage platform is Highly Available, Distributed and Self-Healing.
Fully Redundant
Multiple copies of your data are stored synchronously across multiple storage drives and servers with no single point of failure. If the hardware hosting your account fails, your website and all data will come back online on a new piece of hardware. This allows us to offer a 1000% Uptime Guarantee for our Cloud Hosting plans.
Blazing Performance
Our storage platform combines multiple Solid State Drives (SSD) into a shared pool of storage, distributed between our servers. Data is read and written from and to many drives in parallel, aggregating not only the capacity, but the performance of all drives in the system. This allows us to achieve a 900% increase in I/O operations per second and a 1200% increase in the total bandwidth available to our storage platform.
1000% Uptime Guarantee SLA
We are very confident of the reliability of our StorPool powered servers and as such we offer a 1000% Uptime Guarantee that is backed by a Service Level Agreement.
If your server has a physical downtime of more than 1 hour, you can request for 10 times (1000%) the actual amount of downtime. This means that if your server has a physical downtime of 1 hour, you will receive 10 hours of credit.
