Building a Hostwinds Website – The website builder that’s included with Hostwinds’ hosting packages is Weebly. The website builder comes care of e-commerce platform Square, and offers way to quickly create a website, blog, or online store. There are are hundreds of themes and styles to choose from for your planned site. Weebly’s builder gives users drag and drop site elements, including text, images, dividers, videos, maps, and more. Weebly also optimizes you site for desktop and mobile configurations, making it easy to design a site that anyone can browse.

E-Commerce and Security – Hostwinds’ Softaculous library contains the Magento ecommerce app. We used Magento to create an attractive store, using its drag-and-drop store builder. Please read our Magento review for an in-depth look at this open-source shopping cart.

Excellent Uptime – Website uptime is an extremely important part of the web hosting experience. If your site is down, clients or customers will be unable to find you or access your products or services—and they might not come back. Fortunately, Hostwinds is extremely dependable.

Good Customer Service – Hostwinds offers 24/7 phone, web chat, and ticket-based customer support. We tested the chat support on a weekday evening, and we never had to wait more than a minute before a Hostwinds representative responded to my queries. The person on the other side of the chat window accurately explained the differences between shared and VPS hosting to me.
