Their e-mail is just too damn complete that I don't have to email them about the same problem. No compaints.

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

Through e-mail - fast, quick and thorough responses just how I want it to be. Response times are usually within 20 minutes. All the appeared problems were solved.

"The job done professionally!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I think it's been a few months that now I'm with Hostwinds provider. This is the best host I have used in all my years as a developer online, every single support question I have had has been answered, and many times they help through my issues and fix them for me, they go above and beyond the call of duty for a WebHost.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

According to my experience dealing with this host, everything has been working fine from the very beginning. Thanks.

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

I asked the techs to help me in transferring some other files to my hosting account and they proceeded and stayed with me during the whole process, explaining the steps how to do that. Great job.

"I have no doubt this host is the best."
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I can't say enough about the support provided by the Hostwinds team as I've worked to launch my e-commerce site. Over the past year, Lucus, Tony, Chris and many others have repeatedly gone well above and beyond what a customer should reasonably expect in terms of troubleshooting and proposing solutions to issues that I never could've worked through myself. Their patience and expertise are huge assets to Hostwinds, and there is no way my business could have launched without them.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

There are no dislikes in using their services.

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

I intend to keep my site hosted with Hostwinds indefinitely, and I do not doubt that I will have more opportunities to be amazed by the support team.

What do you like best about Hostwinds?

For what you get, the prices are fantastic. Lots of web hosting providers charge a lot more for a lot less. I highly recommend Hostwinds hosting solutions.

Nothing to complain about. I've had clients with all sorts of hosting providers, most of whom are severely lacking in their tech support area and in the services they offer.

If you have a problem, they will be there to help you. This is what I like the best about this hosting service. Recommended.

"Good option for hosting websites!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I have been Hostwinds customer for a few months now and have used their services to set up and manage many different domains for both my company and those of clients. Most often, everything works great right from the start, but occasionally when building new web spaces or changing, upgrading, or maintaining existing sites, problems can arise. This is where Hostwinds seems to shine.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

I'm highly confident in this host that this kind of thing (15 mins of downtime) will not happen. Hostwinds will take care of you, as they have me.

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

They could not get a definite answer from who they hosted with or would take forever before receiving a response from support.

"Happy with Hostwinds WordPress hosting"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I have recently switched to Hostwinds hosting over the last year. They have many different ways to contact for support including online support 24/7. I have put this to the test and was amazed to see it was true. Fast server, no downtime as of yet, they keep you informed about the company and the prices are affordable.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

I'm a local client of theirs and can say the respect and reliability I feel I deserve have been achieved since I switched to them.

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

No problems with this web host at all. My sites are running fast and efficiently.

"Good hosting for a forum discussion board!"

I've been using Hostwinds business hosting for 5 months, and they are excellent. I've never had a problem with them. I just realized, today, that I should go online and give them a good review somewhere.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

My expectations were simple – good service and timely support. Good points only.

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

I had a few problems when I first signed up (not with them, just with mistakes I made) and they were very willing to help me and explain things to me.
