Hostwinds is one of the HostPapa companies
The company's founder himself says the following about the company:
Coming from a background in development, Peter was consistently finding messy experiences with hosting companies.
Hosting Providers had no idea what they were doing. Support techs were forced to move through a factory-style system, going through prepared lists of questions that could possibly provide answers while not solving the problem.
Large corporations pay millions to get priority customer support and tailored experiences. The average small businesses and small-scale clients are left with cold assembly line-type interaction styles. In addition, now that large conglomerates have taken over most hosting platforms, their priority is making more profit.
What if there was a hosting company that actually cared about its clients? What if regular users could afford that level of commitment? Welcome to Hostwinds.
First impressions of work
Despite the fact that WHMCS is used as a billing panel, everything works smoothly, unlike AccuWeb, which you can read about in the article below.

Payments can be made by card or cryptocurrency via Stripe.
The virtual server was delivered in just a few minutes, which is very good.
Upgrading a virtual server
Ordering an upgrade is as easy as the service itself. For those unfamiliar with the WHMCS panel, finding the button may take a while.
Please note that the upgrade does not begin automatically after payment. You must click the Apply button. Hostwinds did this to be on the safe side, offering to back up your data beforehand.
The upgrade process itself took about 10 minutes, which is a bit long, but acceptable.
Performance
Unfortunately, CPU performance is quite low. But if this isn't your primary criterion for choosing a VPS, Hostwinds offers a very attractive price.
