😠 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.

😠 WinHost
I have been a WinHost basic since 02-28-2015; however, there were many unsuccessful attempts to connect to the it, many of which, whereby, all the passwords I used didn't work. Also, there were times when I tried to reset the password according to the WinHost instructions unfortunately there were numerous failed successes.
I am currently in contact with several tech support personnel that continuously give me advise, but each attempt to connect to the web server has been a failure.
Additionally, I tried to connect to it using the filezilla client which was also a failure. It has been a very frustrating experience to say the least.

😠 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 [read more...]

🗨 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.

I've been using WinHost hosting services for a while and in spite of the fact that I'm moving from WinHost, I'm recommending it.
The WinHost Basic plan is great and cheap. All what they claim was true and they have a great customer service.
