d they are so fast to respond. The pricing is good, and the speed difference coming from Vodien dedicated servers and VPS is unbelievable. Oliver gave us excellent advice, from choosing which servers to use based on our needs and current setups, to specific settings to use in WHM. We're glad we chose Ransom IT, and they are all Australian!

te label hosting. Migrating a hosting account never worked. Trying to get to cPanel leads to an error. The verification process for credit card billing required me to email sensitive information because the "secure" upload system doesn't work. Incidentally, there is less identity information required to use untraceable cryptocurrency to pay for an account. This all leads me to 100% disappointment in Hostwinds. If you're a reseller, don't be enticed by the price. You'll spend much more in time, headache and regret.
