ix looks like a pretty good company to host with and they have cheap plans that have a lot in them. There like Godaddy.com but cheaper and you can actually do things to your server like use cron and such.

Your opinion on ixwebhosting, or any hosting company should not be influenced too much by what they promise. There is plenty of feedback to be found about this company. Try a search over at sitepointforums.com or webhostingtalk.com

I use them and have had them for over 1 year now for about 8 of my sites. My site hasn't gone down once either. Good support, fast response. Never had a problem.

I haven't had any experience yet with ixwebhosting...but I will soon on a client's behalf.

Do you need an answer like tomorrow or can it wait a few days?

I just want to point out that GoDaddy.com does have a plan which is cheaper than any on ixwebhosting.com, and GoDaddy does support crons, even for their lowest plans.

It seems that ix's secret is that they don't support databases on their cheapest plan. That means you have to pay $8.95 / month for a plan that does have databases-- which is actually quite respectable, especially for the given features. Look closely though: if you want ASP.NET/Windows, you pay an extra $2 / mo.

Anything PHP related with GoDaddy, choose Linux hosting or you will have issues.

Anyway you chose web hosting company for their packages which suit you.

Also, they are a massively overselling host. Are you really looking for such a business model?

I'm see this that too ; but i prefer the most famous Companies in a hosting .. such as NetworkSolution OR HostMonster

beast regarded
Star SERVICES ....

NetworkSolutions is mostly known as a domain registrar. An expensive one too.

HostMonster is a new brand of Bluehost. If anything, it's Buehost that is truly famous, age considered.

Big company does not equal quality service. Often times it's the smaller provider that can keep a tighter grip on the quality of customer support.

You are right here. Bid companies don't take a good care of their customers. I personally prefer middle-sized companies such as Ahosting.biz. Though this company isn't so big but they treat their customers in a nice way providing quality support.

ok maybe you are right ..
what's your opnion about www.usahosted.com

I have never used ixwebhosting so i cant comment, however, godaddy is a horrible, so please don't use it

Cheers

I haven't used IX hosting services. But I'll try it out soon. But sadly, they are not providing Databases.

I ordered a business plus plan from them a week ago and they are great! Now all there plans have Unlimited space and bandwidth which is great. The only thing i don't like is there default web mail client. Other than that there great!
