I wanted something with a data center in US West, used KVM and not openVZ and had a good price. So far everything has gone perfectly. I would also like to thank you for not hiding things behind pricing walls. A company being straightforward with costs from the start is reassuring.
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 can say that Hostwinds hosting has met my expectations. I've had nothing but success when working with this professional web hosting provider. Special requests have always come through quickly and gracefully. I thought of moving to other hosts but this service is really good and I'm gonna stay with them for quite some time. When I asked all the necessary questions I needed and their support answered it politely I've decided to get an account.

I have had numerous things I needed help with, all stemming from the fact I'm a total novice when it comes to this kind of thing. Hostwinds have helped me through every step of getting my site up and running. Not only have they shown me how to fix any problems I've had, they've helped educate me in the process, too. They have truly gone above and beyond, and have been there to answer queries any time, day or night. Absolutely fantastic service!
I searched for best Site Hosting and they were recommended.
I spoke with their customer support in a live chat and they advised me which product I would need. The package they recommended provides excellent value for money compared to the competition, who were often asking several times more than I am now paying.

Hostwinds has been my internet web hosting provider for several years...i especially appreciate their prompt and helpful service assistance if i get into a little technical difficulty...the cost price is competitive i think...they have a wide range of self-help website add-ons and helper programs in addition to the usual wordpress options...i am using 3 of the 4 domains that i have available at my level of service and it costs around $11 per month
they have top notch prompt polite customer service for technical issues......they won't build your website for you but they will solve every other tech issue related to the usual technical bumps and bruises that novice users have when adapting to a web host paid service.
I chose hostwinds initially several years ago because at that time they were offering a full 3 years of webhosting for a one time introductory price of something like $40 for one domain...i was a novice and this was a good way to start...prices went up to over $10 a month later which was a big jump for an elderly retired person but i stayed with hostwinds...if i change webhosts in the future it will be because hostwinds raises prices to where they aren't competitive for my needs...i'm a retiree who does a website for pleasure and i conduct no business on the sites, just low level impromptu blogging occasionally, mostly pictures of my dogs...so i make minimal demands on the system and i hope to pay minimally for same.
This was quick and easy. Also, THANK YOU for allowing PayPal as a payment option. I see many great reviews for your hosting services and I have GoDaddy (soon to drop it), Bluehost, NameCheap, and SiteGround.
Hostwinds is one of the most powerful web hosting company I've ever seen. With low price product but and high quality of service, you cannot regret the moment you use this product.
Partnership with the best company when it comes in networking area is one of the keys to success. You can trust them.
Wow, thank you for taking the time to write this thoughtful review! We are so glad to hear you are enjoying our hosting and pricing! Please feel welcome to reach out to us if you need anything. Have a great day!
Their support is top-notch, and very quick replies hopefully stay the same in the future. Will definitely recommend to others
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 love hostwinds
Customer service live chat people are above & beyond. As soon as that changes I'll go somewhere else. Please keep up the good work.
Thank you for this review! It makes our team so happy to know you are enjoying our support! Please feel welcome to contact us anytime if you need help. We are always here for you.
Really glad to run my new website with Hostwinds - their shared hosting service is really stable and professional. I tend to place fairly technical support calls. In over 20 support calls (almost never for a problem, almost always for an implementation or coding question) I have never had worse than 15 mins first response, usually with an appropriate resolution. Calls that took longer clearly needed to take longer.
Wow, thank you very much for taking the time to write this wonderful review! We are absolutely delighted to know you are enjoying our support and hosting. Please feel encouraged to reach out to our team anytime 24/7/365 if you need assistance with anything at all moving forward. We are always here for you and always happy to help. Have a great day!
I like the fact that there's a human being support every time I get on here instead of some crappy robot assistant. Keep up the good work guys (and gals)!
Made calls Price and the promise I will be able to run php 5.6 in the folders that need them
I was fortunate to have the guidance offered by your Front-line support. WIth using VPN, each selection reset the chat. That did not deter any of the staff from being extremely helpful. Luke, Nyles, I'm leaving off at least another one... all have superb knowledge of the product offerings. If it wasn't for their guidance and clear answers, I ended up choosing a VPS in Amsterdam, which will allow for us to expand our non-profit efforts to EU as well as Eastern Europe. Always a pleasure!
We are absolutely delighted to read this! Thank you very much for taking the time to write this thoughtful review.

Have account with you I did chat no help they had no clue. I selected 2 domains and did not see where to delete one of them. They could not understand. I went into cart at billing at the bottom i found the trash can to remove one choice. My request was so simple it went right over the chat persons head. 3 chat backs could not understand. I got it on my own You got rid of phone chat too bad.
So far, i love it! Hostwinds has no false advertisements like other providers, for example you don't need to prepay 12+ months just to get an affordable monthly price. And they also have great support, they respond very fast, and they also refunded my server that i accidentally purchased. So far i am very satisfied with their service.
They responded very fast, and refunded a server that i accidentally purchased within a few minutes.
Because they don't force you to prepay 12+ months just to get a good monthly price, like other vps providers do. With Hostwinds you can get a vps at a great price even for just 1 month.
I have used hostwinds servers for about 4 years, even migrated a server from Amazon to Hostwinds. I am a happy customer.
Hostwinds is the perfect hosting company for a person with basic linux knowledge but not enough to manage a server.
I signed up for a shared hosting account about a week ago, but did not get around to using it until yesterday. While exploring the various features, I noticed that the SSL was not working properly. I used the chat feature to inquire about it, the attendant got if fixed in a couple minutes. The interface is simple and has all the tools that I need and then some.
I already have a linux and a windows vps with hostwinds and am very satisfied with the service
I am setting up a Linux server. I already have a windows server on Hostwinds and have been very happy with the service.
You've hosted my server for a while. Might as well keep it under one roof. No problems so far, and the occasional tech support has been rapid and knowledgeable.
Great products, service and quick responses. I'm very happy with the experience so far. The only negative aspect was that the pricing for the service listed both included and optional features, and I did not catch the difference in the language used (features included vs features offered). Besides that, the list of options available allowed me to tailor what I wanted and select my favorite OS.
Range of features and options allows me to get what I want.
Heard that it's fast and stable, not from advertisements but from actual users
Most importantly I need to $#*! off the GFW of china asap.
I have been a loyal customer for several years. Every one of your employees always treats me well. I also use Hostwinds for my web development clients.
I am a loyal customer. I just did not realize I had an old card on file. I never meant to leave. There are too many good things to mention of your customer service.
I am a loyal customer of several years. There are bigger and cheaper hosting companies, however, no one can compare to the customer service and support at Hostwinds. I recommend them for any hosting requirement.
I have been an established customer for over two years. You folks have never failed me. Although technical issues are rare with your awesome service, when I did have one, you were all very knowledgeable. If there was something one of you did not know, then I got an honest "I am not sure. Let me ask someone who would know for certain." Customers admire honesty above ego. You folks do amazing things. It is most logical that I choose you for upgrading my services. Bluehost may be cheaper, but I never once got the same personal touch with them that I get with all of you in every chat, e-mail, or call. You listen. You relate. You are personal and professional. Good job.
Access via RDP works fine from my MacBook Pro. I'm trying to install an MT5 platform, and am not experienced sufficiently for that, so finding a little difficulty setting that up. I appreciate most people will be sufficiently better versed than I, but an option for some guided tutorial on first entry would help me. (unless I have by chance simply missed one that's already there...)
Recommended by forexflexea. Read recommendations. Awards/recognitions. Backups and 'managed' server options look good.
To run an MT5 terminal with an EA. I work from my Laptop which may be offline, so I need a fast always-on reliable server to keep the beast operating 24/7. Nice that I can connect through my iPad too while moving around...
Had a nice clean and easy online checkout. The services and rates where easy to find, easy to select a plan, and a simple quick checkout process.
I’ve used Hostwinds in the past years ago for a previous website and had good experiences with them. So when I decided to launch a new company Hostwinds was where I went.
Though l don't known where my coupon from, it help me save about $4 per month. Hope hostwinds could provide more coupon for consumer.
A tutorial on GitHub help me construct myself vps service, l just fellow the tutorial’s step.
