Have a good one so far

I was running my website on their Advanced Web Hosting (shared hosting for 4 domains) plan for a month. I was getting 508 Resource Limit Reached errors after opening lots of tabs simultaneously, being heavily limited by their IOPS limit, according to cPanel. Also, their cPanel is very unstable, either throwing me out of my account every 2 minutes or pouring lots of red errors at me, stacked on top of each other the way they're not even readable. This plan would probably fit a very lightweight website that doesn't have anything more than text and a few icons stored on it, but not anything heavier than that. Again, that's an Advanced plan for 4 domains, not the Basic one for a single domain. I can only imagine how the Ultimate plan with unlimited domains would perform if you put a few websites on it. After the first month, I switched to the VPS plan from Hostwinds. And it performs almost perfectly. Maybe only the client area UI is a bit outdated, but it's not that important when you visit it once a month. It has every setting you might need, such as firewall profiles, lots of Linux distros, IP management, logs, a simple graph for memory/CPU usage, SSH keys manager, and some other little things. I've had no 508 errors since then, and, combined with Cloudflare, my website is as responsive as it should be. I'm running it with a cPanel alternative called CyberPanel, but they offer cPanel as a paid option if you need it. The point is, I can't recommend their shared hosting, but I do recommend checking their VPS plans if you're confident with this type of hosting. Only because they provide a good VPS service I'm raising the rating to 4, as of the shared hosting, I'd probably put 2 or even 1.

Nothing special to tell yet. All works fine for the moment. Thanks much!!!

Thank you for your supported!

Purchasing is simple and easy, payment process needs a little help.

So far I have had a pretty good experience with Hostwinds and I plan on keeping them and so far I haven't had to contact support and they setup my backup for me so that is a plus because I wouldn't know where to start on setting up backup so I'm glad they done that for me. I would recommend Hostwinds to my friends and family.

They took care of completely getting Windows Server 2016 up and running so that was terrific. I wish I could have seamlessly migrated from a shared server to a dedicated server, but I have to reinstall the needed software and reconfigure users access.

I can't ssh to the vps using its ipv4 address. But ipv6 worked well, don't know why.
