I have tried the chat line link but it goes nowhere, I then called their 800# only to remain on hold for 20 minutes before giving up. Have sent email but only just, so will see what happens. If they are closed at weekends, I understand but it would be nice were they to announce their business hours.
I am having problems in uploading website and there is not much help on their website on that subject. I was previously with Siteground but changed to this company as they had better rates. Now I know why! I had no problems with the previous hosting firm.
*****************
As an update - I did receive a response to my email concerning access to chat lines which suggested clearing cache and trying a different browser, which I did, but to no avail. The following morning I tried phoning and was on hold less than two minutes, when I was able to discuss uploading of a website. The rep I spoke to was very knowledgeable and very helpful and took time to help sort out the problem. Because of this I have increased the star rating to 4 and would have given five had they originally stated an estimated hold time on phone or had a system which enabled them to call back when tech available.

Signed up and my cost doubled at end of 1st month, the great "deal" apparently only lasted for 30 days. I've been trying to cancel ever since. You have to open a ticket that has to be approved and confirmed, and even after that you still get billed and have to do it all again. I've been trying to cancel for 4 months now and they still keep sending emails for me to confirm this or that, I finally just removed my payment info and am about to do a chargeback, just a huge pain to deal with.

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!

You can trust them.
April 13, 2020

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.

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.

Order challenges
March 25, 2020
Updated review

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 have had quite a lot of bad experience with hosting companies in the past. Cheap prices, low prices, it didn't matter to the quality of the service I got. I started working with Hostwinds mostly because of the price tag, and I was so positively surprised when I found out that I am getting premium service, non-stop availability, and the low prices as well.

To start with, Hostwinds have a smart and easy to navigate website of their own. I have read many customer hosting reviews about various web hosting providers before I chose this reliable web hosting service. It has lots of positive reviews written by satisfied customers. So, I decided to give them a try as the price was very cheap and they offered FREE website transfer. Good web host.

Things are going well. This is a new domain for me, so I will be continuing to set things up for a little while yet.
Still need to hook up Elementor to start editing the site in wordpress. Overall, I am very pleased with the products and service.
