*📜 Plan description
Business-class Windows hosting with unlimited disk space and unmetered bandwidth. You retain one primary site per plan with unlimited subdomains and unlimited domain pointers, and 30 FTPS-capable FTP users. The server stack is Windows Server 2019/2016 + IIS 10 with isolated app pool, Web Deploy, URL Rewrite, and a larger 300 MB site memory allocation for busier apps. Databases: shared SQL Server (2022/2019/2017) with 2 GB storage and unlimited databases, plus MySQL with 2 GB and unlimited databases. Email increases to 500 mailboxes (2,000 MB each) on SmarterMail with POP/IMAP/SMTP, antivirus/antispam; optional Exchange ActiveSync and SpamExperts filtering are available. The control panel exposes DNS, app installer, recycle app pool and, compared with Basic, adds SSL Manager (bring/buy certificates) though Scheduled Task Tool remains unavailable on this tier. Free setup and free migration are included; backups and SiteLock security can be added.
All Winhost shared plans use the in-house control panel and include 24/7 technical support via portal, knowledge base, and community forum, a 30-day money-back guarantee on hosting fees, and a 99.9% uptime target. Max/Ultimate/Power raise resources to unlimited disk/bandwidth, larger site memory (300 MB/500 MB/1 GB), and unlock features such as Scheduled Task Tool, SSL Manager, and Attach MDF support (Ultimate/Power). SQL and MySQL are on separate servers; quotas scale from 500 MB (Basic) to 10 GB (Power), with unlimited database counts above Basic. Email storage rises to 2,000–10,000 MB per mailbox and box counts increase up to unlimited. Free migration and free setup apply across plans; backups are cloud-storage based add-ons; SiteLock Basic is a free 1-year promo on Ultimate/Power. Pricing shows the lowest monthly equivalent with an annual prepay (3-month rates are higher), and domains start from $17.87/yr with optional privacy.

📄 Editorial Review
Winhost is a niche provider focused exclusively on Windows/.NET hosting. They run Dell-powered servers in a top-tier facility and keep services separated (web, SQL, mail, stats on distinct servers) while isolating each site in its own IIS application pool for stability. Their stack is current for Microsoft developers: Windows Server 2019/2016, IIS 10.x, ASP.NET Core (9.x→2.x), ASP.NET 4.8, MVC, classic ASP, SQL Server 2022/2019/2017, plus optional Private SQL Server for dedicated DB resources. They also support PHP and provide WordPress options (including a managed tier), but the core value is reliable, affordable Windows shared hosting rather than a full-spectrum portfolio.Feature highlights across plans include FTP/FTPS, raw log access, DNS tools, and a proprietary control panel. The narrow product scope (no VPS/dedicated or Linux hosting) is intentional; they concentrate on doing Windows hosting well rather than offering everything.

😠 Signed up last night. Wow, this hosting provider is horrible. Everything is an extra fee, and what is included doesn't work. The interfaces are poorly organized. Most of the features and associated extra costs are not shown up front when signing up. Overall, compared to my experience with other providers such as DomainsPricedRight I'm disappointed.

😠 Terrible billing and support practices-WARNING!
I have been hosting two sites with winhost.com and it was awesome... until you need support or you have a random issue with billing.
I had NO problem paying for hosting as it's a cost of doing business.
One day one of the sites I hosted here was gone!
I contacted support. Of course, there's nobody to talk to and they hide behind "tickets" which are generated online. They don't let you call and talk it through with a support person. I've left several messages. They closed my support ticket. I opened another one and have yet to be contacted back about it. In the meantime I am scrambling to find and recover some backups and point my records to a temporary server so my users can have access to their site again. I still have NO resolution as to where my site went! I looked into the billing. I noticed a "credit" for "non payment"... I checked my cc records and show that winhost successfully charged my account for the hosting. I have yet to hear back from billing or support. I would urge caution. I see lots of great reviews on here. I would be inclined to have reviewed as same; however, in 3 to 4 separate instances where things went "wrong" winhost just wasn't that good to me. I expect more in the way of customer service. Winhost will be losing all of my business as a result. I have 8 other client sites I was considering moving to winhost. That will not happen. I'd urge winhost to be more available to its customers and also more customer-friendly. I'd also recommend they consider using a phone if something goes wrong. Sometimes it's a bit more effective than just opening online support tickets and sending screen shots and such...

🗨 Hi Phil,
We're sorry that the account was canceled. We try to contact everyone whose account is past due to arrange payment, but at some point we have to assume that it isn't going to be renewed, and the account goes to cancellation.
I see that we did pull site backups for you though and sent instructions for re-establishing the account.

😁 Very responsive!
Yesterday, our website was disabled due to a threat noticed by WinHost. We had no idea how or why this happened. The WinHost support team emailed us about the issue immediately. When we were able to address the problem, the quick response and suggestions made by the team were easy to follow and very helpful. We got back up and running without much delay! I highly recommend this proactive level of customer service to anyone considering WinHost as their service provider. I've never experience such speedy responses in all my 16 years of working with website service providers!
