Migrated from GoDaddy
August 14, 2021
Updated review

Multiple domains and websites hosted by GoDaddy for 20+ years with no problems and outstanding support. In August 2021 GoDaddy decided to move their email platform to Microsoft 365, resulting in extra monthly charges AND lacking support for "catch-all" email, which I use extensively.
Hostwinds supports "catch-all" email, and had pretty good reviews, so I migrated here.
Hostwinds tech support have been readily available and responsive, however not very helpful sometimes. For example, after transferring my domain to Hostwinds, tech support suggested that I contact GoDaddy to get them to change the DNS records at GoDaddy to point to my web site and mail server at Hostwinds, instead of informing me that I could reassign the nameservers to Hostwinds. Better yet, it seems they could have been a little more "proactive" and asked if I wanted them to reassign the nameservers for me. After a couple of hours rummaging through the Hostwinds Control Panel I "accidentally stumbled on" the page showing that my nameservers were still controlled by GoDaddy (domaincontrol.com), at which time I was able to make the reassignment myself. Simple as clicking a radio-button, but I'm unimpressed that Hostwinds tech support suggested I get GoDaddy to CHANGE THEIR DNS RECORDS for the domain I just TRANSFERRED to Hostwinds.
Haven't been here long, so maybe it's unfair to judge so soon...

I'm a new small business owner and want to manage my own website. I had some issues with signing up and then some configuration confusion but the support team were right there to help me out every step of the way. I have absolutely no regrets.

Great service, domain price is a little high.

Updated review

Despite the price of domains being high, the service is amazing! I could of gotten the domain somewhere else for cheaper but Hostwinds customer service inspired me to just pay the 4 dollars extra per year. Looking back I have no regret and I would recommend you to use them!

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.
