"Very trustworthy one!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I'd say they're friendly people, have good service, good value for money, and only minor flaws. I'm confident enough with Hostwinds to host all of my sites with them - both personal and business. Platform performance has been rock solid and we appreciate it!

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

Well, they reply quickly and are helpful with technical requests, but I have to wait for 40-50 minutes for the answer. Please reduce the waiting time to 5-15 minutes. thanks.

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

I have asked for help through the helpdesk for certain things and received it surprisingly without charges where I would otherwise expect to receive one.
