Winhost Review & Secret Revealed

winhost review

This winhost review is generted from webmaster working experience and side by side evaluation upon winhost plan features, price value, support availability and server uptime stats. The sole purpose is to give an unbiased conclusion to winhost service and help our readers find the suitable windows hosting service.

Winhost Brief Introduction

Winhost is a web hosting company that dedicated for windows hosting service since from their business start. Winhost provides multi class hosting solutions to meet your different website requirements by affordable price. The support team is a group of windows professionals with microsoft approved certification. Their people are partnered with multiple windows projects for seamless co-poration with microsoft. They keep improving and offering newest ms technologies to clients.

Winhost windows hosting advantages

The biggest advantage from winhost is their dedicated efforts in offering windows hosting service. Winhost people be able to focus on this platform and optimize their windows server with max reliability. Instead of using all available solutions for windows server setup. Their developers programmed lots of self technologies to enhance security and performance. All winhost servers are centrally managed and monitored.

Lots of hosting features — Almost all available windows & asp.net technologies are offered in winhost plans. Some famous features such as Asp.net MVC, SQL Server Crystal report, IIS Remote manager etc are fully supported by winhost, the difference is the amount you will get from different service plan. In order to catch up with the different requirements from web developers, php/mysql technologies are also introduced into their system. In this way, no matter if you want to programming with ms technologies or php scripting, winhost server is fully compatible. It's extremely helpful to developers who need different technologies support.

winhost hosting plan

Inhouse developed Hosting Control panel — Winhost never use third party hosting control panel software in order to have everything under control. Instead, their people programmed their own hosting control panel by .net technologies. The control panel only keeps customer needed functions with simple navigation. All web service can be setup easily with no much learning.

Go to http://www.winhost.com and check control panel demo.

Price Value – If you search around the web for web hosting related stuff, most hosting companies are linux based, few ones have windows service plan or the price is pretty high. Winhost is an exception in the industry who can offer affordable service to every people. If you're Asp.net developer or Sql server developer, winhost actually provides a good environment to deploy your projects. Because of the affordable price, it's absolutely worth a try.

Winhost Coupon? Previously, signing up yearly hosting will get extra 2 months free hosting service. Means we pay 12 months fee for 14 months' service and overall discount is about 10%! But They just revised the entire site design and order system. This promotion is removed from order system. Instead, they involved coupon system for any discount offer. But you have to contact their sales support in order to get any code since the code is dynamic.

Support Availability – Winhost announce to provide around the clock support. But their people are only available from ticket and email. If we need urgent, there's a phone number available. But if you're out of US with non-Englis speaking area, you might only call in by email or ticket.

Winhost Hosting weakness

Like every other hosting providers, winhost has it's weakness except all good features. No live chat support would be the biggest disadvantage for nowadays business. Especially when people need instant support but not good at speaking, livechat is the best way to get problem solved. If livechat can be introduced to their support system, I believe more people would like to deal with this company. Winhost uses email for primary contact and ticket support is followed. It's rare comparing to most their competitors.

What if I don't like winhost hosting?

Who to choose if I don't like winhost? There're several top alternative options but Arvixe is definitely the NO.1 recommendation. Except for all the advantages from winhost, you can get instant live support from arvixe and arvixe windows hosting plans are actually on the same level with winhost. As far as I can tell, we're 100% satisfied with arvixe service.

Godaddy is Sold out to KKR and Silver Lake

Godaddy is sold to KKR and silver lake

The Hosting Industry always gives us surprise. GoDaddy Group Inc — The world's largest Domain registrar and web hosting provider agreed to be bought by a private equity consortium led by KKR and Silver Lake for $2.25 billion, including debt, people close to the situation said on Jul 1, 2011. This is the largest business transaction after bluehost acquired by EIG.

Godaddy Overview — Since founding the company in 1997, their founder and CEO Parsons has seen GoDaddy grow into the world's largest Web hosting provider, serving more than 9.3 million global customers and managing more than 48 million domain names. GoDaddy has over 3,000 employees, with roughly 500 dedicated to product development. If you like to know more about their founder, you can refer to this Godaddy CEO article.

KKR Overview — The name might be new to many people since they have not attended any web hosting related business. KKR began operations on May 1, 1976 as a private equity firm specializing in leveraged buyouts. At that time, the notion of a buyout was not well understood. KKR actually stands for three of their founders' names, Kholberg, Kravis and Roberts

Silver Lake Overview — Founded in 1999, Silver Lake is a global private investment firm with approximately $14 billion in assets under management. With offices in Menlo Park, New York, London, San Francisco, Hong Kong and Tokyo, Silver Lake employs over 90 investment professionals across its strategies.

How will Godaddy adress their existing business?

Their founder Parsons, who is currently chief executive officer, will become executive chairman of Go Daddy, while current President and Chief Operating Officer Warren Adelman will move into the role of CEO. As you see, their founder will stay in the new group. I'm sure he will still play a main role in hosting business but just downgraded from CEO to CEC :p

What would be the change in future godaddy business?

Well, as you see, it's over billion money deal. I believe their new owner will invest more to improve their service/products in order to be more profitable. From what Parsons explained, their business growth has been slowed in recent years, so godaddy actually left a big chanllenge to their new owner. In the next 2 or more years, I believe their service level will be promoted and attract more people to sign up.

How do we think about the web hosting industry?

The sell and purchase is actually very common in the commercial society, however there're still many people don't like such transaction especially when it's happened to the industry leader — the most well know brand. In my opinion, we should not only focus on what the owner is but what kind of service the company could offer. Basically, it's not my or your company so why should we pay so much attention to their actual business? As long as the owner think it's good deal, then it is. He can actually earn more by doing so. It's still business.

Ipower vs Ipowerweb vs Powweb

As you see from their introduction, all the three hosting brands have long history in the industry and each of them managed a large scale business world wide. If it's the first time you visit their websites it's really hard to determine which is the best. Also, since they have very similiar website names it always creates some kind of confusion to people. BUT, if you're really going to deal with one of them, please read below before signing up!

What's their relationship?

Indeed, all the three brands are well known in the industry, but I will tell you their current status — They're all merged together and managed by the same company – EIG.

Powweb — Acquired by EIG in year 2006
Ipowerweb — Acquired by EIG in year 2007
Ipower — Acquired by EIG in year 2008

If you still not sure who EIG is, you can read our EIG Hosting article to learn more. So basically, no matter which one you choose, you're actually dealing with the same service, same support, the only difference is the discount rate you can receive from them.

Best Alternative choice beyond above?
