Price
& Cost Effectiveness
IX
Web Hosting offers decent pricing on their web-hosting plans. For
a mere $3.95 a month,
you
receive 10 GB of space and 100 GB of traffic, this is the basic plan
then it is so rich with features that it will suite the needs of even
a small business enterprise. Apart from the basic plan they have linux
based plans that cost $6.45 a month and $12.95 a month.
We
suggest you look into the plan details get to know more about what
the plans have to offer.We think it is simply awesome. For someone
who is looking to get a windows based web hosting plans so that
they can use ASP, ASP.NET, MS Access, MSSQL... then they should
go with the Business Plan that costs about $8.95 a month.
At the end of this page you will find the
links to the plan simply click on them to know more about the web
hosting package.
Data
Center
IX
Web Hosting uses Dell Power Edge 2650 servers, with their data center
located in Hopkinsville, KY. Their
latest servers are quad Xeon 2.4 GHz Xeon processors, with 6 GB of
memory and three 70 GB Raid Disk Drive. Compared to other web hosting
companies, they dominate over any other server offered by any Web
Hosting company. They currently use state of the art net infrastructure
equipment and plan to offer many new features in the future such as
load balancing.
Furthermore,
they are connected to premium Redundant OC-12 Loops through TW Telecom.
As a result, you will get above average web hosting performance
and reliability that other providers normally charge a premium for.
Customer
Service
Personally,
customer support is always my first criteria for picking a web host,
it comes before price, size and everything else. This
is because I have had very bad experiences with some hosts that offer
a lot in terms of price and size but were unable to solve simple issues.
The first thing
I always do to test a web host is actually to mass-mail them with
a lot of questions even before I buy! The host which deserves my
money would be the host that will patiently reply to all my questions
in a prompt and detailed manner. The most disgusting hosts are those
which are unable to resolve simple issues for days, or are unable
to keep track of the client’s history and repeatedly request
you to describe the same issue. Some even keep bouncing your requests
between different departments.
So far, the best customer support staff that I have
met is the one from IX Web Hosting. Honestly I haven't seen a host
that is as dedicated as IX Web Hosting when it comes to customer
support. They have a very well trained support staff and I believe
IX Web Hosting invests a lot on customer support. Other web hosts
which can provide me with good customer support are BlueHost, Globat
and iPowerWeb. All the other hosts that I am recommending in this
top 10 chart have also been very satisfactory in terms of customer
support.
Control
Panel
IX
Web Hosting currently utilizes the latest version of the Hsphere control
panel. The
features are pretty much similiar to other control panels like CPanel.
The Hsphere control panel has a main menu on the left side from where
you can navigate to the sub menus. On the main screen of the control
panel you will see icons from where you can manage your accounts like
adding of domains, configuring the domains, adding emails, FTP accounts,
a file manager which is a kind of a graphical user shell access or
to be precise something like a file manager.
We
could say the control panel is full of features and it is been heard
that IX Web Hosting is in a process of launching its own powerful
control panel in the near future.

Overall
IX
Web Hosting is definitely a choice of web hosting for many users.
Not
only does it score tops with best features for the price, but it is
also great because you can call toll-free when you are in need of
assistance. Other companies offering plans this low normally require
that you e-mail them for support inquires, and even if they did provide
support over the phone, there would be long distance charges.
Give
IX
Web Hosting a shot and
you will not regret it.
