Hostwinds

Hostwinds stands as a formidable force in the realm of web hosting, delivering an exceptional blend of affordability and high-caliber service that is hard to match. Their commitment to offering top-notch solutions at competitive prices ensures that customers receive unparalleled value from the moment they engage with their services.

I recently signed up with Hostwinds and I must say, the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. From the get-go, setting up my website was incredibly straightforward, thanks to their user-friendly interface.

Web ui is very slow. In client area chat pops up even after I've closed it several times and there's no option to turn it off completely, plus it uses sound, which I've turned off, but this setting is not persisted.

I have been using a Hostwinds Windows server for several years. I needed a Linux server for another website and was able to easily add one to my existing account. I had the new site up and running in a couple hours complete with an SSL installed.

The server provides as expeced, however there seems to be a lot of latency issues - also more than the 200ms stated through the remote desktop application. It was not an issue, just a litte more frustrating to get ready, when everything is delayed.

Overall I am well satisfied still:-)

My previous hosts were terrible so I was already very disappointed of hosting companies and haven't had too much expectations regarding Hostwinds. But now I am big fan of their work, they are offering everything needed for good user experience. For instance, my server uptime in past 3 month was 99.98% which is outstanding for shared hosting plan at lowest price. Support guys are rather fast and have enough knowledge to fix all my issues.

Services offered were exactly as described. Customer support through online chat was quick, easy to understand and helpful. I especially appreciated an honest answer about purchasing additional services that were not necessary for my needs.
