I am aware that I have a standard support package but this should be part of the package as it is from their end. One other issue which I was not aware when I decided to go with them is that they are using a late version of PHP. Not great for speed. You have to be on the next suppôt level, to be upgraded at a cost of £100 support for at least 6 months. Not happy right now. Less	Satisfied long-time cu... Feb. 23, 2021 Reliability 8.0 Pricing 10 User Friendly 8.0 Support 10 Features 8.0 I've been hosting my business site on WinHost for about 15 years now.

I didn't use any of their other fancy app installs (WordPress, etc), as I mostly just write stuff from scratch in Visual Studio. I think they are generous with their storage offerings for the price, I've typically gotten good customer service, and server response times are fast. Less
Latest negative review	Cloudways - VPS on sha... Jun. 10, 2021 Reliability 6.0 Pricing 2.0 User Friendly 6.0 Support 6.0 Features 2.0 Cloudways offers shared hardware plans from Vultr HF, Linode, DO, etc., which are not recommended by the vendors for producti... More on websites. You don't get a dedicated CPU - just a single thread on a CPU, potentially sharing core with other threads. The vendors are aware that in a busy environment, you can only expect a fraction of a single CPU thread. Study Linode , DO, Vultr websites to find more details! You may be shocked to find that with Cloudways you are being served on cloud shared hosting that is sliced, packaged and sold to you under the VPS title. You will allocate about 0.5 GB for your dedicated Linux installation, leaving only 0.5 GB of RAM for your website. The CPU core on VultrHF is almost two times slower at processing MySQL queries compared to a LiteSpeed web server on AMD EPYC like NameHero. So you can pay $8 per month to NameHero to get 3 CPU / 3 GB RAM, or $10 per month to get 1 vCPU/ 0.5 GB RAM (after we take into account 0.5 GB reserved for Linux). NameHero gives you six times more resources and is cheaper. Is it consistent with the conclusion that Cloudways is the most cost-effective solution?

Less	Downtime with WinHost Mar. 20, 2019 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 6.0 User Friendly 2.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 I have had my website down 4 times in the last three months for more than 8 hours at a time. There is no redundancy whatsoeve... More r and this is there response when I asked why their website did not go down just the customers. I have an international website with 30,000 students and this down time is too costly and ridiculous. "The blackhole routing is for a specific IP range. The Winhost main site, as well as many of my clients, are not hosted within that range." So their site does not go down... but everyone else does. WTF Less
