While I've had worse experiences in the past, my 2 months with Hostwinds was truley awful.
I moved a small low (very low) traffic site, with an hourly cron job with grabbed a few RSS feeds (i.e. an autoblog) over to hostwinds to try them out.
Well I'm glad I moved a small site, after 6 weeks I get an email about problems with the serrver, being moved etc. Next thing I know my site has violated TOS for using too many resources and has been suspended. Only when I pay to upgrade to business will he let the site resume.
Of course, when I ask for my money back under their "60 day guaruntee", I get told I wont get a refund as I violated TOS. I did expect this kind of response, it further backs up my kind of experience I predicted if I had chose to stick with them.
Oh and seperately, I decided to lightly promote hostwinds under their affiliate program. He doesnt know if he operates NET30 or NET60, and from the looks of it their recurring commissions are complete BS.
Terrible experience, avoid at all costs.
