I operate a very low volume website on wordpress and with a near $20/m plan it wasn't even capable of using the wordpress control panel. Overloaded shared servers or terrible allocation. I've foolishly used them for nearly 4 years and am extremely glad to have switched. Cheaper and infinitely faster. Never use Hostwinds.
Hostwinds have been a generally excellent host. Their prices on dedicated servers are unbeatable, and their recovery tool is not only useful as such, but enables you to self-install any version of linux onto the server. All of that being said, my website has never gone down and the speeds from Hostwinds servers are very good. You get plenty of space and bandwidth and I had no problem installing various scripts to my site. There was one slight problem a year or so ago where a few of my files magically disappeared.
I had some issues with redirecting my domain while maintaining my email and hosting services with Hostwinds. All of their support personnel are amazing. They are knowledgeable, kind and helpful. No matter what my concerns have been throughout my three months with them, I have always received the best customer support ever. My thanks to all that are there to provide excellent service.
I decided to switch over to what I thought was a better hosting company. WRONG! I went to migrate over some websites and they switched up the migration with one domain information being put in another domain and then losing information.
It took 4 days to fix it. I had a plan with 2 TB of bandwidth which is plenty for me. WRONG AGAIN!
Day 8 I was at 3.84 TB of data, Day 9 5.36
It was a server attack that I am now being billed for.
Be mindful when creating servers. Created two Unmanaged VPS server, one by mistake, paid only for the one I wanted using paypal and somehow was charged for both. Their return policy was fair (72h) but it seemed kind of strange how I managed to accomplish that.
I also changed my shopping experience from 4 stars to 3 stars due to the fact that reviewing needs a title and description
Am looking at needing hosting for more websites and registration of domain names and not sure if I'll stick with these guys just went with them cause they were recommended and they do adult xxx site hosting
Was simple and helpful and no delay
Was a recommendation from the wp script team
Had three websites migrated to Hostwinds. After four months of countless support tickets, the websites never worked correctly. Frustrated with their hack attempts, I moved to Hostinger. Using the same backup files as provided to Hostwinds, migration with Hostinger was seamless and absolutely no issues using Wordpress. The difference in speed was dramatic. I requested a prorated refund from Hostwinds. Buyer beware. They only offer a credit on additional services. A gimmick. Who would want to remain with a provider after such a deplorable experience. In my view, this gimmick is tantamount to coercion to trade up and double down on a pathetic experience. I have no idea how many sales were lost using Hostwinds but thankfully, Hostinger had my sites up and running smoothly with the added advantage of very fast Wordpress editing online. If using Wordpress, I would strongly recommend avoiding Hostwinds. Their technical staff is underwhelming.
I was really impressed by service quality of Hostwinds.
My websites and databases are performing fast and stable.
Support guys can help with even dumbest question in a polite manner.
Price is reasonable and I am thankful for their cool service.
I signed up for hosting and they provided no service. Just kept creating support tickets passed on in an endless circle! I finally canceled and expected a refund but they refused. Even putting my account into collections even though they owe me! Beware of these people!
I called Hostwinds one day about issues I was having with my site. Seriously, I was having the worst day of my life; everything seemed to be going wrong. After talking to one of their support staff members I felt so much better - they where so polite and understanding it just made my day. It didn't feel scripted at all, it felt like a positive conservation and it was great feeling. Thank you!
I wanna say that Hostwinds has some of the best customer service I have experienced in a long time. Prior to using their cloud web hosting, I had a website running on their shared hosting. When I had problems with their service and posted a video about it online, Hostwinds themselves reached out to me even though I didn't even ask for it. Now I am happy!
I made a couple mistakes during the setup process of my Wordpress site. Hostwinds support assisted me with every request I had that day. I had probably 5 or 6 requests before I was finished and all setup on my blog.
I googled "Unlimited Storage Wordpress Hosting" and found this hosting plan on a website with a list of the best hosts.
I've used Hostwinds for about 10 years. They are a solid company. They have live chat support with techs that are almost immediately there. I have used companies that it took 30-60 min or longer waiting in a queue before you get to chat with someone. I much appreciate how fast they pick up chat. That's a winner in my book, especially when you have a problem.
Originally they 'saved me' from another company that was dying on the vine! They have proven to be a great company to work with over the past decade. It is my opinion they sincerely seek to provide great support to their customers. I chose hostwinds for their support. I don't need it much, but when I do, I know they are there to help.
Best web host! Hostwinds offer nice 1-click installer and also free website builder (i've built 3 websites (joomla, wordress and opencart). Their rates are competitive, but better yet, their email support is unbeatable. Friendly, knowledgeable, and best of all, FAST!
Support is always helpful, fast and thorough. They have been good at being very clear on their instructions. I am super impressed with Hostwinds as I have worked with many other hosts.
I recently upgraded my account and it went smooth. I have referred people and they are happy too!
I appreciate the updates after ordering. The ordering process took a while. I ended up having to do it twice and the second time through cost a few bucks more for the same thing. I'd tried a few months ago to get a similar set-up, but there was no availability. Other than that, I was happy with the chat support during the order. It was fast! I also appreciate the updates on how close we are to setting up. I look forward to working with Hostwinds!

I am already a hostwinds dedicated server customer, adding a bigger server. The hosting service itself is pretty good. The setup process is, in my opinion, unnecessarily slow. I got a message eight hours ago that the setup was complete, just need to activate windows. Then crickets.
slow
Good price and hosting performance. Service responsiveness no so much.
Currently they are performing my setup for the third time. The first two times were either not to specification or defective in some way. On the bright side, they are very responsive to my questions and keep me very well informed of their progress. I am hoping that the setup is correct after this third try, but I'm not sure how confident to be.
Very responsive with answers and with progress reports. I am not entirely satisfied with the actual speed of setup.
Online reviews and pricing.
Very professional and advanced dashboard, latest cPanel, impressive support, reasonable price, and very efficient servers. Hostwinds is a good host, and I've recommended them to several people who now also use them and are impressed with their uptime and website speeds. I had no hesitation in recommending Hostwinds to my boss for one of our clients through work. Will continue to use their hosting service for as long as physically possible.
Hostwinds services are really great. Pricing is average and support team works quick and they are responsive and helpful. Their servers have no downtime and it's easy to run the web site due to the resources they provide in their plans. Nice start for a successful business.
Pleasant to deal with, great 24/7 support services and very professionals. One of those rare hosting providers that puts customer service as a top priority. The rep who assisted me was pleasant, professional and eager to answer my questions. I really like the fact that hostwinds has an international focus.
Great service, features and prices.
If you need really professional host with high end servers, can recommend hostwinds ssd Litespeed host.
I can honestly say I am fully satisfied with the quality of their services. Recommend Hostwinds to others. A really big Thank You to all Hostwinds staff! Lots of features, very knowledgeable fast and friendly support and the price is reasonable. The speed of my sites is great, I have only positive feedback from my visitors about the work of my site.
Hostwinds offer really great services. I had been using their services for more than 3 months and was really happy with them.
Their VPS servers are offered for a cheap price. But the VPS servers work fast and are reliable. Servers respond fast, and ive never experienced down time. Features are very good and they increased everyone's bandwidth for free a while ago.
Highly recommend them.
It was very easy to purchase hosting at a great introductory rate, and the yearly renewal rate is still extremely competitive. I was previously with another host for the past two years and so already had my domain and website built. Hostwing's technical staff was extremely fast in getting my site migrated and making sure I stayed online the whole time! I expect this time next year I'll be happy to renew!
Reviews of excellent reliability and speed, good suite of options, great pricing.
Great pricing, good number of domains available at the middle rate.
Reviews of excellent reliability and speed, and good suite of options.
I signed with Hostwinds as it was the only hosting I could find at the time that supported postgresql. Ever since I've been using them and I have nothing but great things to say about the level of their service and professionalism to suit my changing needs.
I love Hostwinds hosting. Never had major issues, and every time I have any questions, their support is awesome about helping me to come up with a solution. It was great and after one month I signup for an annual subscription. Today I complete one year with them. Superior in every way! I am amazed by the service I have received as well as the technical support. Submitting a trouble ticket is easy and the response is quick and thorough. I've been hooked!
I am sure you know what I mean... Not only did tech support answer my ticket this weekend regarding a problem I had transferring and setting up my domain, they went back and checked again on their own to see if I got my site up and running... WOW! I am impressed!
