"Tech knowledge is so good!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

Domain management has been very good. We had one problem at renewal, but we were served well by customer support to resolve the issues. I have rented Hostwinds shared hosting accounts from these guys for almost 11 months, and whenever I need help due to my inexperience, they are always there with a quick response.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

Just contact Hostwinds team and see what you'll get exactly. Great web host!

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.

No hidden fees or surprises, very reliable service. They are willing to help you out in any way they can. Hostwinds techs contact me checking to see if I have any issues just to be on the safe side.

Never had any downtime either. They have been nothing but superb.

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

What impresses me the most is the time they take to respond to my support ticket. It's usually LESS than 20 minutes! No, it's not a typo. It's really that fast!

"Good Web Host!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I've had numerous others in the past, only for them to cause hours of work with every change they made to their systems. Answers were clear and concise, with links. In less than half an hour I was uploading my files and, as name servers updated almost immediately, the site started running.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

Only positive thoughts about the service I'm getting. Replies came in less than one minute after the start.

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

Never had a problem with Hostwinds hosting, except for a server glitch, which they took care of within 40 minutes of my notifying them.

"Hostwinds passes on great savings!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I'd like to share my hosting experience using Hostwinds web hosting service. No doubt, it was very hard for me to find such a good web host because all companies are claiming they are the best. When I contacted them, their support was patient and explained what I would receive. Hope my review will be helpful for you, guys!

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

My friend suggested choosing this web host, so I decided to give them a try. Everything is working fine.

I have been using Hostwinds for about six months and I am amazed with the level of support they provide. The support is always very quick, professional and accurate.

I have no problems having a deal with them.

"I'm glad I chose Hostwinds hosting"
