WinhostReviews of winhost.com

Thorough diagnosis and prompt response to all technical issues. Shared knowledge and friendly guidance for website setup and maintenance.

I was specifically looking to deploy a machine learning application in .NET Core. Winhost had all the right DLLs installed in the right places. The deployment process was really smooth. (This after failing to deploy it on other .NET hosting providers.)

I as able to setup and configure my environment without any issues. The help provided by the site was exactly what I needed.

For Windows asp and blazor hosting, this company is outstanding. Don't waste your time with other companies as this company has a great control panel, great service, great prices, fast site and their support is first class (fast and accurate answers to all of my questions).

Easy migration from a different hosting provider. Clear instructions and FAQ's. Good price.

We have used Winhost to host our email and website for 10 years now. Their platform is fantastic! I recently had the need to put up a REST service using .Net Core. Their support team was there for me to help me through issues that weren't even connected to the publishing process. And they also have a fantastic knowledge base to help you through everything that comes up. I highly recommend Winhost.

I was forced to find a new provider when my my former provider stopped caring about its customers. I switched to Winhost a couple of months ago and so far I've been very pleased with both the service and support. There are a few things I find inconvenient or annoying, but nothing bad enough to make me regret my decision.

The CS is terrible here. Whenever we have issues the responses are vague and suggest "it's a problem on your end". No explanation, no information. To get insight, I generally have to ask repeatedly. Twice I've been told we could "upgrade" to a managed server. I don't need to pay triple when a dedicated server would allow me to access the information you refuse to share. The issue is the CS treating shared host customers like they aren't worth helping. It took multiple complaints to find out the shared Windows hosting is allotted a whopping 256mb ram. It isn't visible anywhere on your account. Okay... fine, I can be more efficient with my code, but seriously... 256mb in 2024?! I didn't set the server up or I never would've accepted this. The "unlimited" storage is actually 15gb. Every time you run into issues and submit a ticket you are alloted a whopping 5gb more. Is it really necessary to restrict shared hosting to 15gb in an age when 24tb HDDs are readily available? Are we hosting on 2005 computers still? Recently, due to an unexpected issue, a burst of duplicate emails was sent to the same address every 15 minutes. Similar emails go out to the same address every week or two, so logs would show it's normal behavior that malfunctioned. It was during the holiday when I wasn't around to notice, and I received an automated ticket during thanksgiving stating that abuse would be met with account suspension. No consideration for the holiday or the fact it was obviously a glitch. When I got back the email was inaccessible, but the ticket was repeatedly closed without answers--"nothing was changed". Eventually I was pointed to the "password reset" article, which shouldn't have been necessary if "nothing was changed". Meanwhile, months later emails to certain addresses still don't work (not even the email in question). To your response: We had no intentions of using "30+ TB" of storage. We likely wouldn't even use 100gb of storage. The point is that you say "unlimited" and then slap a useless 15gb on the account, which is a joke. I also do not believe that you monitor anything. We have never once been emailed about downtime or a runaway process, or even the storage being at 100% capacity. I usually wait a good 3 hours before contacting you guys about downtime, and then and only then does someone look into it. Maybe you have monitors, but no one pays any attention to them. The most information I have gotten on the matter is "a customer was using too many resources and the issue has been resolved", and yet the downtime and extremely slow load times continue to occur day after day for hours at a time. And the point with the email is that your "spam" guard is rudimentary. Not to mention someone/something obviously changed the login for the email, but I was repeatedly lied to about it.
