I have been with Hostwinds for a few months and so far, it's been smooth sailing for my small business website. The set-up was quite simple and their dashboard was easy to use even if you don't have in-depth technical skills. I had two issues to resolve with support, one about migrating and one about SSL, and both received helpful and reasonably prompt answers. There haven't been any major problems with the servers yet and I haven't seen any downtime. Price was reasonable in comparison to some other web hosts I had looked at prior to signing up.

Been with these people for 3 years and… Been with these people for 3 years and have no complaints. Performance and uptimes have been excellent. Just provisioned a managed VPS and I needed help twice - both times it was dealt with and sorted almost instantly. Most of the complaints seem to be from people who have chosen the wrong service for their needs, are trying to run something which isn't properly resourced (hey, we all like to save money, but ...), or they have ventured into the unknown hoping they can figure it out. I've been in the game for 25 years. If you select the right service, and you know what you're doing, this crowd is good value for money, reliable, and friendly.

Hostwinds is extremely easy to use Hostwinds is extremely easy to use, quick setup, and has excellent tech support. Have used many other hosting companies, and these guys are the real deal!

I would never recommend using… I would never recommend using Hostwinds. They spout absolute rubbish. I purchase a VPS and change the hostname, set up nothing on the VPS but after 1 day I am added to an Abuse List, they cant tell me why! I know why, I was assigned an IP by them that was already on 6 blacklist monitors. They accuse me of spamming, I have never spammed anyone in my life. They then ask me for a picture of my ID and Credit card, not sure the storage of these images is legal, in this context, but it is so they can charge you $250 per hour at their own discretion. There whole system and attitude is as though I have done something wrong, they break their own T&C's treating customers like criminals. An absolute joke - use Racknerds or Contabo, at least they treat you with respect!!!!

I dont like the Verification Process I dont like the Verification Process, because i ordered and the product was activated after that. a few minutes later it said pending again for manual verification. After i did the Verification the Server credentials litteraly broke so i had to contact staff again. Would be great if the system wouldn't break itself again, but i dont have more to say. its just the verification, which was broking my server.
