t to be honest, that comes with a price (issues and tickets), while on Hostwinds the price really allows you to have peace of mind, it's good, IMHO trustworthy, I'm happy there.

*Specifics:* In my case I build every aspect of my websites, no wordpress at all, and I can say having my websites at Hostwinds has worked pretty well. The only issues I found were about a bad configuration on max emails per hour but that was fixed quickly once it was diagnosed. The limit (at the time of my issue) was set per account, not per domain. I'm using Ultimate (shared hosting) and while I do have decent traffic on several websites, I don't have issues with resources except from perhaps 4 random days total (separated with few minutes episodes each) in over a couple of years but that was not caused by my account (remember, shared hosting), they quickly addressed the problem so I believe they have good monitoring. Been hosting webs since 1998 on several companies and I'm quite happy with HostWinds. Nobody paid me to write this, I'm just a happy customer and I know what's like to search for options when you need a trustworthy hosting. I would love Hostwinds having a program of points that would allow you discounts, that would be great because I've been there for some years and as things are going I will stay for some more (hope so). |
Best hosting indeed...
May 10, 2020
There is nothing bad I can say about this hosting. I have been testing about 5-10 managed Wordpress hosting companies such as...
More
WPEngine, WPX, Liquidweb (Nexcess) and Cloudways etc. and each of them had some kind of technical issues or slow support response times. With Scala I have zero issues, the support is the best of them all and their plans are multiple times cheaper than comparable plans of some of the companies I have mentioned. Then tell, me... What is the point in using a "premium" managed WP hosting for around $50-$100/mo or more with limits to the number of websites, visitors and bandwidth, when you can get the exact same features and NO limits for so much less with Scala hosting?

is unreachable. Don't act like you care you happily take these bad reviews for the money you scam off people. I dont have much money because of corona and hostwinds hosed me for $108. Looks like I wont have much to eat for the upcoming month. Im sure P H is enjoying my money on his yacht right now while I sit here not knowing what im going to eat for tomorrow
