Hostwinds Reviews: 4.9/5 — Highly Rated

Hostwinds web hosting is great quality! It is easy to set up a website, and easy to edit, the hosting is amazing, it never crashed unlike past hosts, 100% uptime, the support team are very helpful, it doesn't take long at all to get your issues fixed, they are kind, and fixing. The cost of the hosting was of expected, it was an average price, I was happy with the amount it costed, it is not under priced, but it is not overpriced, for what the hosting is like, it is a great price.

The greater part of their work is to my liking. I cannot say any bad words of their activity in the Internet. I would like to have quicker technicians it is true.

Hostwinds is one of the best hosts out there, I truly recommend it to any looking to host a website of a small size, to huge. Get your website today! All works well with them and I am really happy being their customer. they make my life easier and simpler. They are great in delivering their services in a webmaster-friendly manner. They have stable servers which are well-balanced.

Since I have signed up with Hostwinds, every single question I have had has been answered immediately and intelligently. I've noticed no downtime and my site loads faster than ever. EVERY time I have a request, problem or issue I get an answer or a response quicker than if I could do things myself. I love the support!

Uptime is amazing, the servers are top notch! I like everything about this web host.

I like their support. Tech support was on the ball, the site was up as far as I could tell. I like this decent hosting service and highly recommend them to others.

Wanna thank Hostwinds for providing me with good hosting service. I have been very pleased with the support even when it is not their fault. Never got an angry support rep. A great plus is that they offer Multiple locations. Just contact them for further details and choose a server which is closer to your website visitors. My sites are online and my visitors are happy.

It has a nice pricing, and a nice customer support, but still pricing should be reduced a bit.

I had only once a bigger issue with transferring a domain from a German registrar to hostwinds what appeared to be a language problem and I needed to sit and translate, what was pretty annoying. Their support was helpful, thanks God, one of their IT experts know German.

Having a deal with a right hosting provider makes your IT life easier and smoother. Their servers are well-balanced and I have no bad experience with them. There is no downtime or glitches. Their services are full-featured and they are solid. Thanks to them I have succeeded in the IT industry significantly. I like how they work for me as they know what they are doing nowadays. And it is really magnificent.

What I do not like about them it is their pricing policy, I would like to have their quality services cheaper and it is quite natural for a webmaster I believe. Overall their services are to9 my liking.

Using their services I have no problems with running my web site which is online for 24 hours! They have helped me much in earning money and they have made my life better in many ways. In any case I like being their customers nowadays.

Just want to say Hostwinds is a rock. They provide their services in a quality manner. They have plans which contain many useful resources which help me much in running my website smoothly and reliably. They have a fabulous support, their technicians know their work well. They are quick and answer any questions in no time. I may ask them for help even at night and they do not sleep, they fix issues very fast. And you kno0w it is not easy to find such services.

In terms of disliking ... frankly speaking I cannot say I have it. No. All I asked them to do, they have done for me fast. They know what they are doing. And you may find not many webmasters who know how to solve a problem.

Using Hostwinds services I run my website in a profitable and quality manner. They know how to run their customers' websites online qualitatively. Thanks to them I have no problems with page loading or something like that. My clients can access the websites around the clock. Prices are not high taking into account the amounts of resources they include in their plans.

You know OpenCart is a progressive web application which Hostwinds provides in a quality manner for their customers and I have decided to try it. Well I want to say it is great. It is user-friendly and makes running of the e-commerce projects quality. OpenCart application gives many positive things to their users like it increases user engagement on the store and it increases the store revenue due to user engagement. It is completely responsive on all the platforms and looks and feels like a native application and many more. All works perfectly well on Hostwinds servers which are well-balanced and cost not much.

I would like to have quicker technicians, I mean they answer me within 1-2 minutes. It is my dream to get answer immediately and I think it is a dream of many other web masters to chat with a technician online.

Hostwinds helps me much to run e-stores successfully using an OpenCart application. I get good revenue having a deal with this company and it makes them attractive for a lot of webmasters all over the IT world. It is rather hard to find a decent and respectable company which takes a good care of all their customers. So hosting e-commerce projects with them is a sound idea and it is a profitable business. they make your hosting life easier in many ways. And I appreciate it and thankful to them.

I host PhpCollab based web site. I like Hostwinds.com ssd host because it provides really fast ssd hosting services. Uptime and support have been excellent! They actually answer their emails, and within a few minutes. Great support. It's the best. You can enter a service request in and most of the time it will be answered within minutes. They use Litespeed server, their ssd hosting is fast. I'm also satisfied with then completely useful easy-to-use cPanel.

Hostwinds ssd hosting is a little expensive in comparison with other hosting sellers, but it is very very difficult to find elsewhere such a support service. For me it is the principal aggregate value.

The techs contact me checking to see if I have any issues just to be on the safe side. They are really the most friendly hosting provider I have ever worked with. Very prompt and thorough. I can't imagine being happier with a hosting service.

Good service. Fast site uploading and downloading. Fast page load in Germany Wilhelmsdorf. Uptime has been 100%. Credit card payment.

No German speaking person in support. Prices in US dollars.

I was searching for database management tools. Webhostingtalk.com was the forum where I seen the offer from Hostwinds. I asked if they can host WebCollab and if they could help me to install that. Hostwinds said they have Softaculos (like a scripts collection) so I will be able to use them with no problem. Later I discovered that they have prices in US dollars. Here in Germany we used to have prices in Euro so I had to re-calculate costs on my own to discover rel price in Euro. That is not really good. After order they put my account on hold and I received ticket said I had to verify identity. So I did that for them. Next I discovered they do not have German speaking people in support. English is not my native language .But these are details. I ordered them for good service and I have that good service and my web script just work perfect ideal.

Uptime. First of all I have never found my web hosting account and site down. Plus when I run test at uptrends I always have only "green marks". I think that is quite important for such kind of web sites I have. Payment options. The fact I can pay via bitcoin encourages me. Not every company can accpet Bitcoin as payment option. But they do and that is really great as for me.

Requests solving. I mean when I need their help I have to write them and then immediately I got response that they now aware of my problem and looking into it. But real problem solving takes 20 mins up to 40 mins. I do not know though how does it work in other companies. No phone support. So far they have live chat only.

They are service provider and at some extend I can call them business partner, but really they are service provider for me and I'm satisfied with them and their services.

Overall it is really a bless for me to host my site with them because of their unmatched and quality services which contain many useful resources to succeed in the IT industry. Hostwinds is a really good hosting company for anyone who is thinking about starting a website or if you have a website and want to transfer Your Site to this one. They make it (I mean your website transfer to them) for you for free and in a quality way. And unlimited domains sound really good for me.

You know their load speed is a bit slow for me but it happens from time to time, not often. And I would like to have their services cheaper. But they know their work well!

One con to Hostwinds , however, is that the CPanel is a little different from other hosting sites. Overall, Hostwinds is a good hosting company that has serviced which are able to satisfy the demands of many discriminating webmasters all over the IT world.

I am not aware of any unexpected downtime as all their upgrades are done with plenty of advance notice. The chat help is fantastic and I have been very impressed with how quickly they have responded & helped. Their uptime is very good. Hostwinds control panels are easy to use and intuitive, as is their account and billing interface. As a result i will be using this company!

There were some problems with speed, it was a bit low, but it lasted not so long. All in all, now it is good.

Good assistance with migrating files from my old web host (what a help that was!) I was amazed at how fast their technical people reply to emails. And they're very helpful.

I have used a number of hosting companies over the years, but nothing can beat Hostwinds. Not only are they great value for money, but they also have a really helpful customer service team, fast US based servers and a great one-click Wordpress installation. Everything I need! Yeah, their ssd litespeed hosting is very fast - I like it!

Sometimes it took over 2 hours for them to solve the issues I experience from time to time.

Time and time again the superb support staff at hostwinds have gone out of their way to help with issues I have normally created myself. All hosting providers will have issues from time to time, but it is how they deal with those issues that matters and yet again this is where hostwinds show why they are loved by their customers.

They give you a dedicated IP, unlimited email accounts, and SSL certificate on shared hosting.

The speed of loading a website, I have a website with another webhosting supplier, and my website hosted in hostwinds is slower than my other hosted with another supplier.

fixed IP included in shared hosting is a great deal

The C Panel is perfect, the basic package I purchased came with unlimited bandwidth, email accounts, storage, and a private DNS address.

The basic package I purchased did not include a SSL certificate. It takes 60 days to transfer a domain over to them.

I can't say that I am solving any problems or realized any benefits with Hostwinds.

I read the user comments and was misled regarding the quality.

Had three websites migrated to Hostwinds. After four months of countless support tickets, the websites never worked correctly. Frustrated with their hack attempts, I moved to Hostinger. Using the same backup files as provided to Hostwinds, migration with Hostinger was seamless and absolutely no issues using Wordpress. The difference in speed was dramatic. I requested a prorated refund from Hostwinds. Buyer beware. They only offer a credit on additional services. A gimmick. Who would want to remain with a provider after such a deplorable experience. In my view, this gimmick is tantamount to coercion to trade up and double down on a pathetic experience. I have no idea how many sales were lost using Hostwinds but thankfully, Hostinger had my sites up and running smoothly with the added advantage of very fast Wordpress editing online. If using Wordpress, I would strongly recommend avoiding Hostwinds. Their technical staff is underwhelming.

They failed to provide reliable troubleshooting of my Wordpress sites they migrated, causing glitches they never fixed.

unfortunately, i don't like it at all, I only joined it because it has a good price range for VPS and Volumes

First of all Support is Sucks 100% Servers have a lot of issues so our VPS affecting too Network issues in Nodes, it caused our volume storage attached to VPS got currpted

Fixing Issues in Nodes Fixing Network issues for the main server in Amsterdam when detaching a volume storage our VPS restart and then got corrupted High CPU 100% Usage without having any process that uses that much of process power

Nothing, frankly. OK, maybe the Hostwinds logo is quite funky.

Where do I start? This has been the most frustrating experience ever. I bought the Ultimate Business hosting package, which is the most expensive, but it is also the worst hosting I've ever come across in more than 20 years of running websites. For example, the down detector service is bundled, but all this does is result in meaningless emails from tech support which tell me the website is back up, and oh by the way here's a screenshot. In fact, Hostwinds tech staff LOVE screenshots, they send screenshots of everything. Each time I submit a ticket, and I have had to do this multiple times, the first response is to say the problem is solved, then when I push them, it is always escalated. A day or so passes and then they send me a mail saying how the issue has been resolved due to some spurious geeky reason.

I was supposed to be hosting websites. Benefits? Nil. Well, perhaps one, which is to recognize the need to shift hosters, so I'm open to offers.

I dont like hostwinds due to unfaire business.

Dislike due to confusing, baseless, untrue and unrecognizable statement without reference to evidence of detailed refund information.

I purchased Basic Web Hosting hosting packages from hostwinds on last 30/5/2019. Then I request to migrate my website. But the migration team failed to do that. In such a situation, I immediately canceled the hosting package and requested the billing department to refund me the refund value 37.59 USD. In the context of this, the billing department told me about the last June 01, 2019 (GMT+6) refunds can take upwards of 5 banking days to settle in your account. Which has already passed. But I did not get back $ 37.59 USD. I think this kind of behavior is harassment to the customer. But still (June 20,2019) 'abusing' or 'harassment' to refund the money. I did not get refund. This behavior is contrary to customer's interest, tragic, unexpected and offense. I think, the hostwinds that have been done with me are the attempts to suppress the money, it is hostwinds declared anti-refund policies and customer harassment levels. All customers are advised to be careful about hostwinds' misdeeds and dishonest practices.
