Winhost is a solid company. You get 200% of what you should expect for $4.95 per month. This includes unlimited number of sites, one ms sql 2008 database, php support, asp .net support up to 3.5, silverlight and tens of other microsoft technologies. Big advantage is also the forum where you can ask questions not necesairly related to hosting (like programming issues etc.) and where you get fast answers from their staff. In fact, I can't think of anything bad about this company...

I have been with WinHost for seven months. I have not had 1 negative issue. I have not ever opened a support ticket or talked to the help desk, because everything works as it is suppose to. The Control Panel is designed very well and meets all my needs. I love the way they set up SQLServer. When accessing my SQLServer DBs from other hosts it would take forever because they would include all DBs from all other hosters. My DBs from WinHost come up very quickly. I have never noticed a down time. I've never had any issues with billing. I understand scoring all 10's sounds suspicious, but I have not had one problem with WinHost. How else can I score?
I can't say that from my other host. I am in the process of transfering everything to WinHost.
Also, I believe the prices are very competetive. The SSL price is very reasonable.

I've been with winhost for a couple of years now. I have had a good experience with them. The couple of times that I have contacted tech support, they were helpful and knowledgable. I have about 8 sites on their server. Mostly static html, soms PHP and Javascript. I've only seen my sites go down for a short period of time a while back. I was with registerfly before westhost and have had a much better experience with winhost and would recommend them.

I have been with westhost since 06 and they definatelly did major uodates, I manage a dedicated server with them, no problems at all. If I need anyting they have live 24 hours chat so I can chat at any time I want.
Disadvantage: They have their own control panel so it was little difficult to adjust. But on the other hand, no hacker attacks. Also adding more domains on your curent hosting package is limited and of course their dedicated prices are high.
Advanatage: Great suport and so far I had no downtime in any way.

Lately, I have been tinkering with PHP and SQL, and as such, have made some mistakes, and destroying some of my databases, as well as a few failed attempts at backing up and recovering the databases myself. In any case, these were issues that I caused because of my lack of knowledge, and the support team at WestHost was top notch in every case (more than 20 "oops" moments) to get me back up and running.

There is the ocassional downtime, however I have always been notified of downtime at least a week in advance, and the downtime has never been more 10 minutes, and is done in the early morning hours.
I needed webhosting that gave me control over the webserver, php, python, java, ect. I have a virtual server with westhost and static ip address.
WinHost has provided me with practically everything I need.

I was impressed by their marketing of Wordpress hosting packages. I signed up for a hosting account for 6-10 small domains. My traffic was less than 1% of plan and disk space about the same. I have had no real issues since signing on except the occasional highload messages that I receive. Each time I contact them about the message they try to get me to upgrade to VPS but when I refuse everything starts to work properly again. Although it is not a major issue it does tend to become some what of an inconvenience. The inconvenience however is not enough to get me to switch to another hosting service. For the cost, I am happy with the service that they are providing.

I support companies of all sorts and when they ask me about web hosting I always recommend Winhost. I host my own site there as well and have never had any problems that weren't resolved quickly. The tech support staff is awesome and I have never had to wait more than 3 rings to speak to a real person, without and accent I might add. The price is great and while I don't take advantage of nearly half of the options included with a basic package it is impressive to see that they are there if I need them.

I've been with Winhost for five. This is the best company I have every used. I have had issues from time to time but the customoer service has all been very helpful. I especially would like to that Rick for staying on the phone and helping me fix a situation, that I created, for a good 3 hours.
