Note that there may be language barriers if you are not fluent in Spanish, though the company does have English-speaking agents.
Dinahosting Overall Rating
Dinahosting is competitive in terms of what it offers. It gives customers a wide variety of choices for shared hosting, VPS service, and dedicated hosting. Having said that, their website is not very strong on details compared to some other web hosting companies we have reviewed. You can get a general idea of what they offer, but you will most likely have to contact them to get all the finer details.
It is also a bit disappointing that Dinahosting does not offer free domain registration for new customers. However, you also don’t have to register a domain with them; you can bring your own if you have one.
Finally, Dinahosting is one of the few web hosting companies that acknowledges its obligations to social responsibility. When you obtain your hosting through them, you are working with a company that is involved in several social causes, including environmental protection and improving Spain’s neighbourhoods.
