aPlus.net vs. Hostwinds 2020

who want bleeding edge tech. We have been using APlus and the predecessors for some 20 years. We have had maybe 5 hours downtime and no major issues. APlus may not be great, but for us it has proven to be 99.9% reliable and extremely cheap ($9.00 month legacy plan for 8 active websites). The only issue is that they offer premium Comodo SSL certificates, which makes it more expensive for https (typically $90 a year). The good part to the Comodo certs is that they include lots of extras not available with plain vanilla ssl.

ot of time comparing the features with other hosting providers....and none of them offered as many advantages at this GREAT PRICE.

y refused to credit me for the upcoming year.
Totally unprofessional

e for "object storage" for months without any emails etc. It is buried in the footer of one of their replies that they won't cancel any service "for" you despite telling you that your services are cancelled, then ceasing to provide any further communication. I discovered it on my Visa, and had to create a ticket to find out what they wouldn't say when I requested cancellation, that unless you go through your account with a fine-tooth comb and look for anything they can possibly bill you for (that you didn't create, was auto-created for you and NOT under the products section where all your other stuff is) and cancel it manually yourself, then request formal written notice that all products and services (or anything they can possibly invoice you for) is cancelled, then they'll just keep billing you for months or years. Other hosts don't do this. You cancel with another host, and you're cancelled. They consider this as a "separate" service, and even though I requested cancellation of hostwinds "service" they didn't count this and claim that you have to do it yourself, where no other host seems to have this policy, for a very, very good reason. They must really be hurting for money if they have to opt you into stuff you didn't even want, or use, then refuse to cancel it, hide it, then not make perfectly clear this extra charge you didn't want will keep going, after 3 cancellation requests. 3. Finally got it cancelled.
