What problems is Hostwinds solving and how is that benefiting you?

Also, I would like to mention that by now I have already had some problems on my Website and I am so grateful for knowing that I can turn to a support team that assists me immediately. Usually, the issue is solved within half an hour maximum! I believe there is barely another web host who offers support this rapidly.
