IX Web Hosting Features

You can either run on Linux or Windows on any of these features.

Their plans start from $3.95 per month, and you should expect reliable service. You can use it for your entertainment sites, hobby and small business websites. When you choose any of the three plans, you will get unlimited domains, bandwidth and space. You will also get free domain names.

Reliability

They will provide anything you need for a business website. Rather than using the cPanel, they use the H-sphere control panel. It may not be as popular as the cPanel, but it is quite easy to use, simple, and can do anything you need it to do for a normal website. You will have spam filtering, firewall protection, website templates and so on in all the plans.

You are guaranteed 99.9% uptime with IX web hosting, and you will get it. You also get a 30 day guarantee period, in which you can cancel the product if you do not like it. Given that this is a good product, you have thirty days of trying it out. Besides this, you have a seven day trial period that you can use, without paying for it.

In case of any problems you have access to 24/7 support, either on phone or live chat. Their customer service is quite reliable with no complains. For the kind of price you are being charged, you will get quality service. Some of the problems are only standard industry problems.

What Others Say

Even though IX web hosting boasts of reliable support, there have been complaints that they are not knowledgeable enough. Some even complain that their tickets were not addressed adequately. When compared to some of the problems faced by competitors, these are minor offences.

On a scale of 5, we give 4.5
