"Very helpful staff and knowledgeable"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

In general, if you run a business on the web, you will not want to take that kind of risk. So it took over 3 weeks to find the most reliable web host on the net, it is Hostwinds without any doubt. The sales representative was responsive, I told him my requirements and he offered me the best hosting fit for my needs.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

I was a bit hesitant, but after reading customer hosting reviews, I gave them a try. Looks to be a good host to use.

What problems is Hostwinds solving and how is that benefiting you?

I get responses and solutions quicker than I expect. They helped me with backup. The tech responses are really professional and friendly.

What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I have been a customer of hostwinds now for about six months and could not be happier with the service that I receive! Although I know I am not their only customer, I am made to feel that I am. With all the other web hosts available these days, their dedication and professionalism are the reason I remain a hostwinds client.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

I wanted a fast and secure host for my website and this host has fulfilled both of these needs!

What problems is Hostwinds solving and how is that benefiting you?

The servers are fast enough to handle a forum discussion board. Thanks!

"The website setup was fantastic!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I like Hostwinds features: - good network and server uptime, - cheap pricing for such resourceful SSD shared hosting packages, - helpful + professional customer support team that works 24/7.

Nice work, I am fully satisfied with the hosting service.

What problems is Hostwinds solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've tried all sorts of hosting plans that always seem like a good deal but when you factor in the downtime, the slow servers, and the slower support it's definitely worth spending a few dollars more to go with these guys.

"Reliability, pricing and performance are the best!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

When I started the search for the web hosting plan I did not have a huge budget and most people suggested me using only VPS. But I decided to go with Hostwinds shared hosting and I dare say I won a prize! Now I have a low-cost web hosting service, a fast server, and 99.9% uptime.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

For me, that is more and enough! But please respond a bit faster, thanks.

What problems is Hostwinds solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm selling music from my site. As for the benefits, the speed of uploading my site is fast - the site is running and the server is stable.

"Great work, guys!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

It's only been 2 months since I signed up with them, but I have to give them credit for always keeping my website online. On top of that, when I called them to get some help with things I couldn't understand, I got a US support rep each and every time, unlike other hosts I tried out before Hostwinds web host.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

No views on downtime or anything yet but I feel totally confident with my choice given the level of support so far.

They are truly a diamond in the rough. All the trouble was solved immediately or in 10-20 minutes. Well done!

"Nice work!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I have had very good success with Hostwinds SSD web hosting. To those who have bad things to say about this provider can take a flying leap because support is quick and more than knowledgeable, they go out of their way with products that they have never even heard of before and they give guys with an average budget, like mine, a chance to compete with the larger providers.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

Well, everything about this web hosting provider has been great. Thanks.

What problems is Hostwinds solving and how is that benefiting you?

The customer service is outstanding. It was outage that lasted over 10 mins, but having contacted them, everything was up and running efficiently.

"customer-oriented web host"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

Quite happy running my sites with Hostwinds web host. Technical customer service is quick and perfect, however, for technical questions, they asked me to contact technical service directly, by submitting a support ticket. I did that and received the answer really quickly (in less than an hour). This I call really customer-oriented web host!

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

Sometimes there is a slow speed, but it lasts over 10-15 mins. All in all, I'm quite happy.

What problems is Hostwinds solving and how is that benefiting you?

There was something wrong with my emails, I contact their techs, they solved the problem in 5 minutes. Great work!
