Building a Hostwinds Website – Hostwind offers Weebly as its website builder. Weebly takes care of the e-commerce platform Square and provides a way to create a website, blog, or online store quickly. There are hundreds of themes and styles for your planned site. Weebly gives users the ‘drag and drop’ site elements, including text, images, dividers, videos, maps, and more. Weebly also optimizes the user’s site for desktop and mobile configurations, making it easy to design a site that anyone can browse.

E-Commerce and Security – The Softalocus Hostwinds library contains the Magento eCommerce app. Magento eCommerce creates an attractive store using its drag-and-drop store builder. Please read our Magento review for a detailed look at this open-source shopping cart.

Excellent Uptime – Website uptime is a significant part of any hosting web service. If your site is down, clients or customers will be unable to find you or access your products or services—and they might not return. Fortunately, Hostwinds is exceptionally reliable.

Excellent Customer Service – Hostwinds provides a 24/7 call, ticket-based, and customer support web chat. We tested the chat support on a weekday evening and 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.
