IX Webhosting offers great website hosting plans for businesses of all sizes. Their
hosting plans start at $4.95 and their top hosting package is $59.99 per month.
This is for Linux web hosting. They offer a plan that will work for almost any website
hosting needs. They also offer Windows hosting, however we only tested their Linux
hosting packages.
IX Webhosting uses the H-Sphere web based control panel which offers you full control
of the most commonly used features. They also provide full DNS control for your
sites. We prefer the C-Panel control panel over the H-Sphere control panel, however
the H-Sphere panel does offer features not found in C-Panel.
***Left for historical reasons****
The downside of IX Webhosting is reliability. We experienced numerous outages while
using their service. The most common service to go down was e-mail, however we encountered
MySQL failures, as well as complete service failures. In their defense, they did
offer us a service credit for our downtime.
***END of Left for historical reasons****
Overall, IX Webhosting is a good choice for small businesses who want a feature
rich hosting package at a very low cost. We also recommend this for companies with
multiple domain names that they want to manage in one place. We rate IX Webhosting
3.5 stars out of 5.
