Hostwinds is always great service. Beats DigitalOcean & all the big players. Chatbox always there for support.

What I can't understand is why password requires the minimum number of characters, the maximum number of characters, and which characters are not supported. These cannot be clearly answered.

Transferred our site host
October 7, 2022

Our original host shut down on September 30. We transferred our site to Hostwinds based upon another customer's recommendation. The transfer process was relatively easy.

Virtual cloud servers
October 6, 2022

I find the technical support from Hostwinds to be outstanding, and, the pricing very reasonable.

I have experience operating at the command line level in Linux but have occasionally needed some help and have gotten all the answers required. Well done!

Very cheap servers, great support
October 3, 2022

So far, i love it! Hostwinds has no false advertisements like other providers, for example you don't need to prepay 12+ months just to get an affordable monthly price. And they also have great support, they respond very fast, and they also refunded my server that i accidentally purchased. So far i am very satisfied with their service.

I am a newcomer

I found that hostwinds' interface is not that intuitive like Namecheap, I can't find beginner guide like "how to set up my first domain and hosting" etc

Also, please add more live support and make the beginner guide more easily to be found

THANK YOU Hostwinds
September 13, 2022

The first reason for choosing this is good communication with the support team and their help in migrating the site. As for the quality of the hosting, I will try and tell you after a month, and I apologize for the spelling errors because I do not trust the English language
