"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"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

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.
