What marked this out from experiences…
What marked this out from experiences with other hosting services was the level of support given to someone (me) who simply didn;t know what he was doing.

Buyer BEWARE
For the last month, I've given Hostwinds EVERY benefit of my doubt, but I'm now at wits' end. Below is the actual script from their so called "support" and is really a classic example of how they choose to tout a < 3 hour response time. It should make you wonder what planet they operate from. This is only the latest response, but is representative of what I went through with migration, OpCaching, DNS redirection, SSL certificate install, and email forwarding (2+ weeks and still unresolved... the straw that broke the camel's back). This should all be pretty basic for someone who's in the business... BUYER BEWARE!!! If I could give them 0 stars, I would because THEY DESERVE IT! Incidentally the ongoing email forwarding problem was originally reported 5/2/20 and had 19th communiques before they said it was resolved on 5/14/20, that first go around... it's really hard for me to believe these people can actually sleep at night?

Client
I've been here a bit over 1 month and have decided to go elsewhere for hosting because of excessive slow speed and poor quality of TechSupport. Please advise of how to proceed to get refund and terminate our relationship.

Outstanding Hosting Company!
Outstanding technical support and customer service.
I switched to Hostwinds after my long time host was bought out by a major company and I was dumped into a lousy overseas host. I pulled my two main sites immediately - well I tried to pull them immediately, this new host lost them for three weeks. That gave me plenty of time to research hosts and I decided to go with Hostwinds. The tech support team handled the whole migration and did it quickly and with no issue.
I recently took back two sites that I previously managed, and immediately migrated to Hostwinds. Once again, they handled it quickly and efficiently. I did have a couple of issues but tech support was fantastic! They were efficient and patient, and best of all - friendly.
