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 slow
December 3, 2023

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.

Everything went smoothly and worked.
November 16, 2023

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.

Good, but with delay
November 13, 2023

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:-)

Service you can trust
January 30, 2017

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.

Happy with them
September 22, 2016

I am really happy customer of Hostwinds. They have guaranteed client satisfaction and they have totally fulfilled their promises. Only once I had an issue with email delivery, but after contacting support it was quickly resolved. Till now nothing bad happened, website is up, hardware is functioning well and network has zero packet loss.

I am blown away to be treated like they care about providing answers to my complete satisfaction. All I can say is thank you!

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.

Purchase was easy & fast. Next day review of account is incorrect. They are showing a balance due but that is not correct. I assume it will be soon corrected without my having to spend time with them.

Surprisingly Professional
December 26, 2021

I've tried many hosting resellers, most of which are quite pricey. Hostwinds didn't look all that professional but after going through the process and the support team assisting me so quickly I'm impressed - keep up the good work!

Good stuff with better customer care services
March 9, 2021

Products on offer seem pretty good (can't say too much about this because I haven't experienced similar services from similar companies but I'm very sure the customer service and swift responses to bugs are top notch. Well done

So far, I've never encountered any problems with this except for that one single time where there was a downtime which was immediately resolved in a matter of 27 minutes. I believe hostwinds will be my last web host.
They have manage to keep my site running smoothly even when it has grown 5 times bigger than it was with the previous hosts and I must say: always with excellent service and response times.

I will continue using hostwinds if they behave in such a good way providing me with quality hosting services.

Hostwinds service
November 30, 2022

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

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.

Value amazing. As everyone probably knows already, hostwinds.com has the cheapest for everything most of the time. I signed up my Economy web hosting through an affiliate link and it only costed me $5/mo. For the first year!

I am very new at all things website/tech. Always excellent help from Hostwinds.
When I can't solve tech issues, I know the solution is just a chat away. No matter what the problem is, your people simply make it work, Always on the first attempt and usually within less than five minutes.

Long Live Hostwinds
July 19, 2022
Previous review

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.

Hostwind Is Off To A Great Start!

Updated review

Great support help on the front end. Alex did a nice job! I am hoping to experience the same when we get set up.

He listened to our problem and offered solutions that our other hosting company did not.

I would give him five stars on the chat survey, so here they are now *****.:-)
