Im no website expert and often require the utmost patient & professional support. Hostwinds has pleasantly surprised me with their level of personalized, prompt customer support. I am blown away to be treated like they care about providing answers to my complete satisfaction. All I can say is thank you!

I had some issues with redirecting my domain while maintaining my email and hosting services with Hostwinds. All of their support personnel are amazing. They are knowledgeable, kind and helpful. No matter what my concerns have been throughout my three months with them, I have always received the best customer support ever. My thanks to all that are there to provide excellent service.

Thank you for such great service!

Hostwinds support is pure awesomeness.
First, they migrated my websites and apps from my old host, then they installed the needed services/applications for my websites to work and went further by optimizing my server so my visitors don't experience slowness that usually happens when one migrates to another host. I feel that I will collaborate many years with this hosting provider. Keep up the great work, Hostwinds.

I have just recently taken the plunge and moved hosting company, something that has very defiantly not been done on a whim! I have spent months looking at alternatives and finally chose HostWinds. As an IT Director, this has to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. The transition was made so easy by the staff, in particular Adam and Darren. I have nothing but praise for this company and wish that all of my other IT suppliers would take a leaf from their book. I never make a recommendation of service, but in the case of HostWinds I will make an exception. If you are still looking and pondering, ponder no more, these guys are so helpful.

Well done guys.

I want to say some more words of Hostwinds, it's a very well executed hosting company. If you are technical, they can help, if you are not technical, they can help! I like the way they provide their services.

Hostwinds offer really great services. I had been using their services for more than 3 months and was really happy with them.
Their VPS servers are offered for a cheap price. But the VPS servers work fast and are reliable. Servers respond fast, and ive never experienced down time. Features are very good and they increased everyone's bandwidth for free a while ago.
Highly recommend them.

Ive been with hostwinds now for a couple of months after having hosting accounts with larger companies. I can say without reservation that hostwinds have been and remain to be the best hosting company Ive used. I have 2 accounts with this host at the moment and should I ever require another, or an increase in one of my packages I know that obtaining these will be a pain free process. Servers are extremely reliable, site speed is great and support is 1st class, combine all that with great pricing and I cant recommend them highly enough!

During my experience i worked with more than several hosting companies, couple of them even bragging about the level of support they do offer.

HostWinds, is outclassing them all by mile.
Thank you very much for being here for us :).

Their free migration service is a real bonus, freeing up my time to do other things whilst they migrate my current websites across to their servers. Hostwinds are so good at what they do I felt compelled to write this testimonial, which doesn't happen often. Well done to the entire Hostwinds.com team. Keep doing what you're doing and I will remain a customer for life.

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'll start with price - it their weakest point, too high in such highly competitive market.
However their service is reliable and decent, you will get all needed features, useful soft and high uptime with your account. Support is also available for all the time and you are free to ask them any question anytime. Overall they deserve 4/5 but I see they have potential to improve their ranks.

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.
