Very professional and advanced dashboard, latest cPanel, impressive support, reasonable price, and very efficient servers. Hostwinds is a good host, and I've recommended them to several people who now also use them and are impressed with their uptime and website speeds. I had no hesitation in recommending Hostwinds to my boss for one of our clients through work. Will continue to use their hosting service for as long as physically possible.

What I really love and was looking for is that Hostwinds' support department could be reached for real round the clock. After purchasing my account was delivered instantly, and the control panel and all the software is fast and user friendly. For today I have monitored no traffic issues or no uptime problems.To date, I have been very happy with hostwinds, their service and especially support I have received.

When I first found Hostwinds I couldnt believe I was getting everything my old host offered for a fraction of the price, and figured there had to be a catch. So far I can say the only downsides I have found are that FTP access is a little slow and there have been maybe 2 or 3 instances Ive noticed in the first year that my sites were briefly inaccessible (which happened on my old host anyway). This hasn't happened for a few months, however.

On the upside, there is the price, the great customer service, and the fact I have everything I need at my fingertips to host several small sites for my friends businesses & take care of their emails. Overall, very pleased.

Hostwinds services are really great. Pricing is average and support team works quick and they are responsive and helpful. Their servers have no downtime and it's easy to run the web site due to the resources they provide in their plans. Nice start for a successful business.

Service you can trust
January 31, 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.

I use Hostwinds shared hosting services and I have to say that I'm almost satisfied: no uptime, fast servers, good price. Support appeared a bit slow in solving issues. But I think that is okay for that type of services I'm getting.

I actually have a personal account with Hostwinds and also a business account - both are fast though! The business package is really fast, I have a high-traffic website and I think Hostwinds is only helping me to serve my customers better.

Pleasant to deal with, great 24/7 support services and very professionals. One of those rare hosting providers that puts customer service as a top priority. The rep who assisted me was pleasant, professional and eager to answer my questions. I really like the fact that hostwinds has an international focus.
Great service, features and prices.

If you need really professional host with high end servers, can recommend hostwinds ssd Litespeed host.

Fully satisfied
September 27, 2016

This hosting provider offers everything any webmaster might need. Features are very useful and easy to use. Support guys are helpful and ready to assist whenever you'll need. Network and server uptime both are at 100% level, no outages noticed for a year. For the price I pay Hostwinds seems to be top-notch service provider.

Hostwinds rocks
August 30, 2016

My experience with Hostwinds is almost half year for now, but I am already sure that I'll stay with them for long term. That is because they have shown me their high skills in server administration and I see they can handle any issue quickly. My websites with them are up, loading quickly and software is always updated and properly adjusted for working like a clock. Their techies are skilled enough and available almost always.

Me and my friend who is using Hostwinds` VPS are getting high level service from them. And I suspect everyone else gets either. My monitoring shows 99.97% stability and no packets lost during up time. Performance of servers is their strongest feature that they should be proud of. Support team is armed with good linux knowledge and answering rather fast.
