Good range of price plans

I was so impressed with hostwinds hosting service, support, and price that I moved another of my web sites to them as well. T...

he price of web hosting packages is very cheap. In reality, though, shared hosting can only offer so much, and hostwinds offers exactly what is in the realm of possibilities of a shared host and their price is adequate.

months in advance if my domain's expiring, or hosting my site and allowing me enough time to have the year cost. Your company has always set a high standard with my small business when I first started with you nine years ago. My technical helper, Mandy helped me set up my website with your help. She was very pleased with your company, she used it for her own site. That sold me immediately. Your fees are very reasonable, and the few times I had to be on the phone with you, you have had a friendly staff answering phones and helping with unique questions. A while ago, I was helped in a very personal way about what to put in certain areas in my site. This person, was remarkable and funny too. She helped me with my wordpress site, by mentioning one or two things I never thought I would know on my own. I don't remember her name, but we laughed and joked a little. Left a very pleasant image of your company. There is always a unique person on the other side of the line when I have called. I believe this company has taken very good care of all our sites, by updating it, and taking no more than 24 hours to update living it safe and protecting it from harm. Thank you Ixwebhosting, you are truly an amazing company to be associated with. |

They will always find a way to rip you off.
First time, I had a windows VM with HOSTWINDS, the price they list for the SQL WE... More
B LICENSE is 15$. Subscribed to that service and then when I got the bill the SQL WEB LICENSE is 30$. When I asked them why have the doubled the price. They said in order to use SQL Web on your server you will need more than one SQL Web license.

Then, after I terminated all my subscriptions with them I noticed they were still charging my credit card. When I contacted them they said they kept backups for me of my VPS after i cancelled all my service subscriptions with them. I asked them to refund the money, so they asked me to delete the backups. I am reporting them to my bank. |
Worst cr** i ever had!
