You can remove the dedicated cPanel license and save $35/mo. Cloud backups are $1/mo + a fee for each GB of storage you need. Enterprise DDoS protection is $50/mo.
24/7 USA based support team
I have mostly had great interactions with the Hostwinds technical support team. For technical support requests, you need to submit a ticket. They have been amazing to me and always helped out fixing anything I've asked them. Sometimes though they can be pretty slow with their responses and fixing server issues. This is why I would think twice about using this web host for very important websites. If you are not that reliant on fast support, then you could save a bit by hosting with this host. They do have 24/7 live chat sales support on their website (popup in the bottom right when visiting their website from a desktop computer).
