aPlus.net protiv Hostwinds 2020

who want bleeding edge tech. We have been using APlus and the predecessors for some 20 years. We have had maybe 5 hours downtime and no major issues. APlus may not be great, but for us it has proven to be 99.9% reliable and extremely cheap ($9.00 month legacy plan for 8 active websites). The only issue is that they offer premium Comodo SSL certificates, which makes it more expensive for https (typically $90 a year). The good part to the Comodo certs is that they include lots of extras not available with plain vanilla ssl.

g from some bad host they're on the case, no fuss. Impressing hosting provider, you can not go wrong. No, it's not a typo. It's really that fast!

y refused to credit me for the upcoming year.
Totally unprofessional

HEN YOU START USING THEM). After a few months, they are very nonchalant with your problems and do not always respond ontime. Their servers are slower compared to the new experience I am having with Inmotion. Their pricing is deceiptful, becareful as most of the figures you see in their advertising only relate to a discount they provide on the first month, which is not advertised clearly but indicated by placing 50% off by it. However, the worst part of my experience was cancelling my services with them. After I had enough of them and realized I was better off elsewhere, I cancelled my vps of which I bought extra volume for on the vps account. Technically by cancelling your vps its virtually impossible to see the extra volume to cancel it, HOSTWINDS CONTINUED TO CHARGE me for the extra volume space, despite the fact the service was cancelled and despite the fact I couldn't access it to cancel it. How can you charge someone for extra volume when they service requiring extra volume is cancelled. More over this is a pay before play service, meaning that they service is not in use until it's paid for, yet they refused to let me avoid paying for it because they are crooks. I raised a dispute with paypal and then hostwinds decided to suspend my services until I undo my paypal dispute with them which i wouldnt. I messaged them to cancel all my services and all my accounts, I went through with their colleague via their live chat messages and did so. Yet they still continue to charge, refusing to give me access to the services in order to cancel it. If you chose to use them do so at your own risk. And if you are happy working with them at the start give it a few months before you review. Ive worked with bad hosting services, but their faults are understandable, what hostwinds did is nothing but a bitter form of extortion to subdue a leaving client.
