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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

I have no issues using them. No glitches on servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hostwinds:

They never disappointed me. Great support makes great products. Getting a hosting is the easy part but getting any tech support at any time whenever you need makes Hostwinds superb. It's all about after sales services. All super heroes are available for you any time you need any support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Impressed! The knowledge base has enough information for someone like myself to get to grips with things, while their customer service is so good at times I almost feel spoilt, having always been fast in response and informative with problems being resolved in a short time.

What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I read the user comments and was misled regarding the quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They failed to provide reliable troubleshooting of my Wordpress sites they migrated, causing glitches they never fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hostwinds?

This was my first contact and it was the quickest, most helpful support I've received for a long time from anyone. I did a chat on Saturday evening, was connected right away, and spent nearly 49 minutes including a time when I lost my chat window for a time (my fault) and when I got back to it, the rep was still waiting patiently, picked up right where we left off. Answers were clear and concise, to the point, and took care of my questions fully. I signed up for hosting service based on both the excellent pricing and especially on the speed and ease of getting help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hostwinds?

Uptime is great and i must also say that the speed connectivity is pretty fast. Hostwinds is a cool web host. On the navigation menu, there is live stats/information about your space & bandwidth usage. For me it is the principal aggregate value. This is true! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
