"Great hosting service."
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

Impressed! The knowledge base has enough information for someone like myself to get to grips with things, while their customer service is so good at times I almost feel spoilt, having always been fast in response and informative with problems being resolved in a short time. No prepayments, no credit cards are asked for. I found Hostwinds to be a great hosting service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

Hostwinds known to be a little pricier than other providers perhaps, but I switched to them from a lower-priced provider so I could get honest feedback about my site and about my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good site performance."
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I chose Hostwinds advanced web hosting account because they prided themselves on under-selling hardware.

My site's performance immediately improved after the switch, and has remained consistently at this new level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

The live support is not always there but once caught online, they will really help you with your troubles. Overall 5 out of 5 Rating! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Inexpensive and reliable host."
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

Great support and pricing. It may not have all the latest features etc. ( autoinstall of CMS packages, Forums etc. ) and it's simple, inexpensive, and reliable. I have several domains hosted at Hostwinds for several years, and have only had 1 outage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

Great customer support, very responsive and fast, I would suggest them even, from simply websites to major projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Terrible site migration experience"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

I read the user comments and was misled regarding the quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

Had three websites migrated to Hostwinds. After four months of countless support tickets, the websites never worked correctly. Frustrated with their hack attempts, I moved to Hostinger. Using the same backup files as provided to Hostwinds, migration with Hostinger was seamless and absolutely no issues using Wordpress. The difference in speed was dramatic. I requested a prorated refund from Hostwinds. Buyer beware. They only offer a credit on additional services. A gimmick. Who would want to remain with a provider after such a deplorable experience. In my view, this gimmick is tantamount to coercion to trade up and double down on a pathetic experience. I have no idea how many sales were lost using Hostwinds but thankfully, Hostinger had my sites up and running smoothly with the added advantage of very fast Wordpress editing online. If using Wordpress, I would strongly recommend avoiding Hostwinds. Their technical staff is underwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best ... they are!!!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

This was my first contact and it was the quickest, most helpful support I've received for a long time from anyone. I did a chat on Saturday evening, was connected right away, and spent nearly 49 minutes including a time when I lost my chat window for a time (my fault) and when I got back to it, the rep was still waiting patiently, picked up right where we left off. Answers were clear and concise, to the point, and took care of my questions fully. I signed up for hosting service based on both the excellent pricing and especially on the speed and ease of getting help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

There are no problems having a deal with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect web host to run websites with."
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

We run over 50,000 page views per month which is pretty good for Wordpress.

Hostwinds e-mail service is just too damn complete that i dont have to email them about the same problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

The site always responds quickly, even during peak times and the cost is much less than the solution I had to have with my previous host. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Double Thumbs Up!"
What do you like best about Hostwinds?

Uptime is great and i must also say that the speed connectivity is pretty fast. Hostwinds is a cool web host. On the navigation menu, there is live stats/information about your space & bandwidth usage. For me it is the principal aggregate value. This is true! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hostwinds?

Happy to deal with this decent SSD web hosting provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
