WingSix web hosting review

Overview

If you are looking for affordable web hosting, WingSix is a good option for you. Their website states that they are dedicated to providing the best quality in web hosting, pricing and customer support. They are a high quality web hosting provider that comes from the parent company Server Central, which is known for outstanding customer service. Now in business for seven years, WingSix has become trusted and well liked, which is easily proved by browsing through countless customer testimonials. They are also dedicated to delivering a vast range of tools to help you create and maintain your perfect website. As with many other providers, a free domain name is included and they will set up your account for free.

Reliability & Performance

There doesn’t seem to be a lot of information about WingSix’s infrastructure that help to give an indication of reliability and performance. However, in the About Us section of their webpage, they do mention that Server Central is their parent company. If this is any indication of the reliability and performance that they have to offer, then it is a good thing. The Server Central datacenter is designed for the optimum performance of their servers. There are redundant connections to all of the servers using state of the art hardware and routing techniques. They also use many different servers that can be customized to meet the customer’s demands. Several backup servers are also on hand in the event of a catastrophic failure so that things can be up and running in no time.


Pricing

Although a few dollars more expensive than other web hosting companies of the same caliber, WingSix is an excellent choice for personal and small business web sites. Like the others, they offer a completely free set up of your account and a free domain name. They also include 10GB of server storage and 100GB of bandwidth per month. Although this is less than other web hosting companies currently offer, it will still be more than adequate for most websites. You also receive numerous email accounts and can create an unlimited amount of sub domains.


Control panel

The easy to use web based control panel allows WingSix’s customers to fully configure and monitor their websites. Tools included in the control panel allow for stats to be viewed, the management of email accounts, databases and sub domains as well as password protection on specific directories that you choose. If you have not already created a website, the WingSix control panel also offers RV Skin and RV Sitebuilder so that you can easily create web pages for your site.


Customer support

For most customers, being able to get support when you run into problems is a big part of their decision when choosing a web hosting company. WingSix competes with the best of them by offering online tutorials, a helpdesk system, an online ticket system and phone support. They do fall a little short on their phone support as, unlike other companies, it is only available from 8am to 7pm CST.
