I've used Hostwinds for nearly 2 years and they have been excellent during my stay. However, I am looking at leaving because they have IP issues, mainly, some of the major (Gmail, Outlook, MSN, etc) ISP's block email traffic,... More claiming it's SPAM. Apparently, they have some SPAMMERS on their servers and some IP blocks are blacklisted. I have been forced to get a Gmail account so I can send outbound emails, which is a major pain. I've raised this issue with tech support too many times to count but the problem persists. I'd love to stay with them but I have to move on. Less

Latest positive review | | Found the guys on the hostadvice. Looking for a server for a project with certain parameters for an affordable price. It was some doubt to deal with the Russians. But after communicating with them, I decided, plus a great pri... More ce. The configuration I rented from them: Intel Xeon L5630 x 2 12GB RAM DDR3 SSD 500GB CentOS 6 (or 7 as you wish) Bandwidth 30Tb at 1Gbps Subnet of 45.8.xxxx.xxx/24 Payment via PayPal. Launched and accessed in one day. I took it at the beginning of June, now November - everything is fine. There were no problems. Any questions are answered quickly. So I advise you.

Latest negative review | Terrible hosting. Even one Wordpress site does not work on the "Ultimate Business" tariff plan!!! The support service does not solve the problem! When I don't use the site, the RAM is not used. As soon as I work with the site... More , I do elementary things: creating a new Wordpress page, adding a product, then the RAM is working at maximum and the site gives a 503 error. This can't be on a simple Wordpress site. Your hosting works disgusting! Less | No reviews yet |
