Hostwinds

Flat monthly VPS from US$4.99, managed or unmanaged, Linux or Windows

Overview

Hostwinds is a US hosting provider that describes itself as a HostPapa Inc. company. It sells managed and unmanaged VPS for Linux and Windows, cloud servers and dedicated servers.[15]

Unmanaged Linux VPS plans start at US$4.99 a month for one CPU, 1 GB RAM, 30 GB storage and 1 TB of bandwidth; 2 GB costs US$9.99, 4 GB US$18.99 and 8 GB US$38.99, rising to US$328.99 for 16 CPUs and 96 GB.[15] Prices are flat monthly figures without a multi-year commitment.[15]

Hostwinds is straightforward to price and offers both managed and Windows variants under one roof. Its unmanaged plans include less storage and bandwidth than Hostinger or Contabo at the same price, and higher tiers become expensive relative to hourly clouds.
