"The best ... they are!!!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

This was my first contact and it was the quickest, most helpful support I've received for a long time from anyone. I did a chat on Saturday evening, was connected right away, and spent nearly 49 minutes including a time when I lost my chat window for a time (my fault) and when I got back to it, the rep was still waiting patiently, picked up right where we left off. Answers were clear and concise, to the point, and took care of my questions fully. I signed up for hosting service based on both the excellent pricing and especially on the speed and ease of getting help!

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

There are no problems having a deal with them.

"Fantastic web host."
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

Hostwinds is a fantastic web host - they solve problems and in an extremely timely manner. When I have a problem, their technicians get information that I can give them and determine what the problem is and fix it for me, while in most cases, you are in an IM session.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

If my business grows, I'll just switch over to dedicated hosting. Nothing to dislike about the service provided.

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

The uptime is great, and when there are issues, which is rare, I am able to contact them within minutes either via Instant Messenger or Skype 24/7 and they have the issues fixed within minutes. Many thanks for the great service and good support.

They have live chat to help if you get stuck... and they seem to be available almost all the time. Nothing to dislike.

I've had questions that were answered and fixed as soon as possible, and complex problems worked on by the hosting admins personally resolved in only a couple of days.
