*📜 Plan description
Entry business tier engineered for higher performance and reliability compared to standard shared. Hostwinds states these plans place fewer sites per server, run an enterprise-tuned stack with LiteSpeed Web Server and Latest PHP, and include Cloudflare CDN integration and Route-Optimized Networking to shorten paths to visitors. Features mirror the shared plans (Unlimited Bandwidth & Disk, Free Dedicated IP, Free SSL, Latest cPanel, Softaculous, Weebly Builder, Unlimited Email/DB/Subdomains/FTP, Instant Setup) but with higher service limits (e.g., inodes, outbound email, CPU time) per the FAQ. Constant Monitoring, optional Website Monitoring, and Nightly Backups are highlighted, alongside free website migration and 24/7/365 enterprise support. “Starting at” monthly pricing is shown; upgrades occur instantly without downtime.
All Hostwinds Business Hosting plans emphasize speed and consistency: SSD storage, LiteSpeed, Cloudflare CDN, route-optimized networking, and continuous monitoring. Every plan includes cPanel, Softaculous, Weebly, Free SSL, a Free Dedicated IP, instant setup, free migration, and 24/7 support.

📄 Editorial Review
Hostwinds was founded in 2010 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and has positioned itself as a web hosting provider that emphasizes ownership of its infrastructure, competitive pricing, and direct client relationships. Unlike many competitors who rely heavily on third-party vendors, Hostwinds owns its hardware and services, which allows them to control costs and avoid unnecessary markups. This philosophy has been part of their foundation since the beginning and remains central to their operations.The company offers a wide range of products to suit different customer needs. Their Shared Hosting plans include essentials such as SSD storage, free SSL, cPanel, Softaculous one-click installer, unlimited email and databases, and the Weebly site builder. For higher performance, Business Hosting is available, offering LiteSpeed servers, Cloudflare CDN integration, and fewer clients per server to improve speed and reliability.
For resellers, Hostwinds provides Reseller Hosting and White Label Reseller solutions, which include cPanel/WHM, nightly backups, monitoring, and the option to rebrand services.
On the VPS side, they provide both Managed and Unmanaged VPS for Linux and Windows. These VPS plans include SSD storage, 1 Gbps ports, snapshots, instant scalability, and monitoring. The managed variants come with 24/7 professional support, while unmanaged options allow greater flexibility for experienced administrators.
Their Cloud Servers and Load Balancers offer scalable and customizable solutions, complemented by Block Storage and Object Storage for data expansion. Dedicated hosting is also a strong focus, with fully customizable Dedicated Servers offering RAID options, monitoring, nightly backups, and full management.
Additional services include SSL certificates, website migrations, and domain registration. Some services such as enterprise email and VPN are no longer actively offered.
While Hostwinds presents itself as a customer-centric provider with redundant and reliable infrastructure, its product lineup has remained largely unchanged since 2020, showing limited adaptation to newer technologies in the hosting market.
Hostwinds has localized its website into multiple languages, including Chinese, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, Dutch, Korean, Italian, and Arabic, each provided through separate domain versions. This approach shows an effort to reach a global audience.
