"Good speedy web host!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

Great hosting provider. It was not easy to find the right place for my websites. Found hostwinds hosting 4 months ago while I was looking through review sites. Their pricing met my budget and I decided to transfer one of my sites to their basic hosting account. Paid $4/mo.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

My experience dealing with this web host is fantastic, highly recommend them to others.

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

Reliability and speed have been great, so now I am hosting other 5 web sites with them.

"Unparalleled service for an incredibly competitive price."
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I've been a Hostwinds' customer for around a year now, running a server with my friends. They have made this process extremely cheap and easy, with servers with great uptime and minimal lag, costing a fraction of what other hosting companies would charge. However, the reason that Hostwinds is by far my favorite hosting company is their support staff. With any issues that I've had, their customer support gave me a reply in less than five minutes consistently, and were quick and diligent to respond.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

I have neither glitches, now outages using them.

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

Hostwinds gives unparalleled service, for an incredibly competitive price.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

I moved to Hostwinds SSD Cloud hosting after reading reviews and having a terrible experience with my previous host. Only good points!

The knowledge base has enough information for someone like myself to get to grips with things, while their customer service is so good at times I almost feel spoilt, has always been fast in response and informative with problems being resolved in a short time.

"Give Hostwinds a chance!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I've had a lot of bad experiences with web hosts, and for a while, I was fed up with the entire industry! But I decided I'd give Hostwinds a try and it's just been grand. Right from the start, I had all the features I wanted, from a great site builder (I think it's great I've never used a site builder before and this went so smoothly that it has to be good! The results are nice too!) to a nice straightforward blogging tool - that's all I really wanted - to the gallery, which is also nice.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

I like all things which are on Hostwinds site.

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

I did hit a couple of roadblocks but I found the support ticket system worked really quickly and my little booboos were fixed in no time. So, don't despair, give Hostwinds a chance!

"Great prices and reliability"

After being on the basic shared hosting account for a few months my business had grown. Hostwinds prices are reasonable for the different hosting packages they offer. Upgrades are reasonably priced and if you start using multiple services with them the prices tend to drop.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

I highly recommend it – for their product and their customer service.

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

Friendly technical support. Really try to help!

I get what I pay for. Like everything about the service.
