What's misleading in that ad, and what did the article you linked to have to do with it?

Choose yearly on the $60 plan and it hits $55, though still not "starting at $50".

They use the 50 bucks ad almost in every single page ( at least of the webs I've visited of their blog)

I won't forbid anything as I'm not part of their company but if you are someone of their size This things are not something I like as a potential customer.
If they forget this they can forget some others.
It's actually funny you are in the web hosting biz ( and according to your sig you are "Small" ) and seem to be condone 5-10 bucks difference.
Please do not post in my thread (I'm being polite) as you are derailing something that is a fact (oh and btw I don't want to read your opinion also).0

You know I'm not making things personal, nor I'm attacking you. The fact that you do not want to read my opinion, is well neither here nor there, as we all have the right to state things on this forum.
I'm stating that you are making a big deal out of nothing. Companies get busy with running a business, and forget to update a minor detail. It is an advert that is on the blog.. I'm sure it was put on there before they changed their product offering in the past 3 years and simply forgot to change it.
If 5-10 dollars is a large enough difference to you, perhaps you should consider looking at another company that will not offer you 24/7 phone support, and 24/7 monitoring of the node for abuse and other problems.
You know at the end of the day, threads like this are something that make us ask the simple question of, why did you not bother to contact the company about this, instead of posting on this forum? In hopes that complaining would get you some sort of discount?Small Budget Hosting - Starter Hosting, Advanced Hosting - Reseller Hosting0

I did experience some surprises that I had to alert the provider and as the resiliency of my app I don't need something softlayer graded.
I was just looking for alternatives to have a blog for some stuff with some stuff ( not in my big nodes) and I just stumbled upon them.

Would have been a nice idea.
I'm not sure about bear but I normally charge extra for secretarial services.
Anyways, title changed, and Hostdime will probably get a keyword alert for this thread and take a look. I'm sure we have better things to do at weekend, so closing this.
If Hostdime want to respond, a simple "report post" will get our attention to open it again for them, briefly.0

Thank you for reporting this. I am having a member of our Creative team get this resolved as soon as possible. If you were looking to purchase a VPS plan with us and feel that you were misled by this ad, please PM me with your email address and I will price match the $50 mentioned for our Linux VPS1 Plan.
Thank you and have a great day,| Dennis Henry | HostDime | Premier Global Data Centers
