Price |
IX Web Hosting offers several plans to choose from with the lowest priced plan starting at a scant $5.95/mo, definitely a huge bargain when you consider everything that you get. They offer a number of freebies like the free domain for life and excellent easy to use web site builder but this service is not just for the average webmaster, IX has offers a tremendous amount of additional expert features like DHTML / Javascript, PHPBB2, Form-mail, a guestbook, stats counter, a free shared SSL cert and huge multimedia support for flash, shockwave, streaming videos and audio.
Also included which you don’t find everyday is you are able to manage your own domain contact information which is important if you are building a site on the side and don’t want your boss to know about it. All kidding aside this is an exceptional value and probably the best priced plan we feature.

Server Reliability And Performance |
It is hard for the owner of a company to offer his own personal guarantee in your satisfaction to his service without running a tight ship and IX Web Hosting runs one of the tightest ships in the industry when it comes to their servers. They built with their own money a state of the art data facility in Hopkinsville KY. Designed with redundant power backup and they rely on state of the art hardware and SONET reliability with CISCO series 12000 routers to run over 1200 servers and over 200,000 web sites.
IX Web Hosting vows that uptime is their top priority and they back it up with a personal guarantee from their CEO. Their datacenter has been custom designed to run on fault-tolerant systems, to ensure lightning-speed load times using smart-routing, and provide redundancy in every possible capacity. The location of the datacenter is also no mistake as they selected Hopkinsville KY because of it relative location to several high capacity routers and that the location is much less vulnerable to any possible natural disasters.

Uptime |
Early on IX Web Hosting made a commitment to internally manage all aspects of their web hosting service which lead to their development of their state of the art co-location facility. Having vast experience in the web hosting industry they were able to design around previous flaws in datacenters to create an environment perfectly suited to their growth and reliability needs. The facility is connected to the internet by an impressive multiple routing system through BellSouth, Verizon, Quest and AT&T.
IX Web Hosting is one of the most trustworthy hosts who stand by their 99.9% uptime guarantees.

Customer Feedback |
The feedback we have read in the various web hosting forums and discussion boards for the most part speaks well of IX Web Hosting. When you host 200,000 web sites you are bound to have a few people who were in one way or another dissatisfied with the service, although none of the reviews we saw were at all disappointed in the CEO’s pledge to the customer to provide a refund out of his own pocket. We also saw many people referring others to IX Web Hosting when we were scouring the
