"I'm very pleased with Hostwinds hosting"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

After suffering through major downtime with my previous host, I decided to move to a new host, thus I found Hostwinds hosting solutions. The server was working fine so I had no reason to contact them for server-related problems. I highly recommend them for your technological needs.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

The server has been stable, with just a few short downtimes caused by attacks or malfunctioning scripts. Good web host.

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

They listened to our needs, responded with speed and professionalism far beyond our expectations and continues to deliver an excellent service at a more than competitive and fair price.
