"Most reliable web host with an incredible uptime and load time."
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

Most reliable web host with an incredible uptime and load time. I've been working with hostwinds for more than a year. Fastest page load time among WordPress. Helpdesk is the heartbeat of the service and is a vital differentiation of Hostwinds.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

I like them. No issues having a deal with them.

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

The support team at Hostwinds is great. A good choice for anyone who wants a stable fully manage server like me to host dozens of websites. Don't hesitate to chat with sale or support. Keep going the good work and Ill never ever move to another company!

"They never disappointed me."
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I have been using Hostqwinds' support for several years. After trying several different hosts, and having terrible experiences from a complete lack of support, to having to google the answers myself and sending them the links, I found Hostwinds. They give immediate support, and are available at the drop of a hat. They fix things without me even having to worry or ask them often times.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

I have no issues using them. No glitches on servers.

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

It's more than the cost of other hosts, but when you run an online business, tech issues with your website, especially during a launch can not only be expensive, they can cost you a launch. I wouldn't choose anyone else.

I generally don't post reviews but since I've been hostwinds' customer I've gotten nothing but the best tools and best service. I've had a few outages caused by myself and they've been there to correct the issue in minutes. They are the best. Great hosting company.
