So far So far, things are great. Before purchasing, I reached out to Hostwinds and asked several questions about features and functionality. They were all answered professionally, so I moved forward. I just left Hostblast due to poor communication and unpleasant surprises. I'm gladd to see that Hostwinds is on top of things.

Their support is spectacular Their support is spectacular - even when you're on a unmanaged server. If you write them on the chat, a real human will respond right away and those few times I've neede help, they've always been able to help and resolve the problem. 5 stars!

AWFUL VPS FOR MT4, REFUSE TO REFUND WHEN BROKEN I upgraded to 12GB 4 core VPS charging £111 per month and it wouldn't even run 5 instances of MT4. The techs gaslit me telling me everything was fine and its not their problem if MT4 doesnt work. I couldn't click on any of them or update anything. I restarted, rebooted and did everything asked then asked for refund within 3 days notice. Their billing REFUSED to refund me despite my consumer rights! This is a truly terrible company that gaslights you when you have an issue then refuses to refund you even when you ask for a partial refund. Stay away if using for Forex! 100% not worth it and their techs admit it themselves they have no clue about MT4 and claim that even buying more memory and processors with them, doesnt mean it should work. I have everything in writing to prove their ridiculous claims and refusal to refund. Forget these guys!

I highly suggest you to not buy any of their windows VPS I highly suggest you to not buy any windows vps here. all ips are blacklisted. ATTENTION: Every services is autorenewal, so even if you dont want that services you have to cancel before it expired. YouTube has block their ip for unusual traffic as well. Pay attention. worst service ever.

Read this before buying In order to use the latest php version you'll have to upgrade to one of their VPS plans instead. Also, if you choose the Basic plan and want a full backup on your data from their server, then you'll have to open up a support ticket, 'cos they have removed the Backup option in cPanel, so you can't do it yourself. This is not OK for me so I'll change web host instead. Problem solved.
