*📜 Plan description
High-capacity Windows hosting for e-commerce and complex sites. Unlimited disk and bandwidth pair with 100 FTP users and FTPS, unlimited subdomains and domain pointers, and Windows Server 2019/2016 + IIS 10 running isolated app pools with Web Deploy and URL Rewrite. Site memory allocation rises to 500 MB. Databases expand to unlimited SQL Server databases with 5 GB total SQL storage and unlimited MySQL databases with 5 GB total MySQL storage; Attach MDF is enabled for SQL, and DBO rights/backup-restore tools are included. Email becomes unlimited mailboxes (5,000 MB each) on SmarterMail with POP/IMAP/SMTP, antivirus/antispam; optional ActiveSync and SpamExperts are available. Control panel adds the SSL Manager and Scheduled Task Tool for cron-like jobs alongside DNS, app installer, and recycle app pool. Free setup and migration are included; a free year of SiteLock Basic security scanning is advertised for this tier; backups are cloud-storage based add-ons.
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.

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.

📄 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.

😁 WinHost is excellent
WinHost has features like access to SQL Server from directly inside SQL Server Management Studio that make it the best.
And the pleasant surprise is their support. Their knowledable staff like Tabitha are on top of all details of the system, and they can quickly get you through all kinds of problems.
No headaches.

😠 Unacceptable experience
Do not use this company. I used them for about 4 months until I decided to switch. I had to pay extra for another database which I agreed to thinking I could set up a Stage Environment for my application. They do not support subdomains even though they will tell you different. Just to setup stage it took me > 10 hours and it was still unstable. My clients have been complaining that they haven't received email notifications.. I tested some mail code and sure enough, randomly a lot of them would never be received. No help from support on this.

😠 WORST EVER!
The hosting is decent, the control panel is a JOKE.
You cannot remove services or plans after you have say more than 1 domain or site in your account.
In my case I had 1 site that was paid up for a year, still have 6 months left of it, I didn't want another site and didn't renew it so in retaliation they limited my 1 year prepaid account and unless I paid for the other site I would have to "calm down" and get over it basically.
If you are hosting 1 site then they are probably ok, but if you host several sites, they will abuse you should you not want to keep all of them and there is no option to remove them.
Dealing with customer service is fun fun, they treat you like dirt because they know you aren't going to be paying into them anymore. They won't even half read the tickets you submit and it makes you have to send WAY more emails than needed to make them have a clue as to what is going on.
BEWARE!
