IX Webhosting continues to surprise us with a list of innovative features that has kept them one step ahead of its competitors and the good news about it is that they have managed to improve their services without raising their prices. The company started in 1999 and has grown to a company providing premium webhosting services.
IX Webhosting focuses its services on the shared webhosting segment of the internet market. Specializing in this niche has enabled them to offer one of the best webhosting services. A testament to this is the huge number of customers that have flocked to their servers. With over 90,000 customers and 170,000 websites, IX Webhosting has become one of the fastest growing webhosting providers today.
The company currently offers its customers three types of services. It all starts with the Expert Plan which is priced at $3.95 and comes with a load of cool features such as unlimited bandwidth and storage to name a few. Professionals who require more specialized services would be pleased to know that more advanced plans such as Business Plus and Unlimited Pro are more than up to the task and the best thing about them is they don’t come with an expensive price tag.

The Good
- Compatibility – IX webhosting supports all major operating platforms. Setting up your website with different multimedia formats on Windows, Mac or Linux does not pose any compatibility problems.
- Reliability – Along with the 99.9 percent uptime guarantee come a 30 day money back guarantee that only a well established company could deliver. Cancelling their service is easy and could be done anytime during the contract, the only requirement is that a brief explanation on why a customer is terminating their service.
- Control Panel – IX Webhosting’s control panel has a friendly user interface and installing a WordPress blog took a few seconds to setup. This makes putting up a website easy even for those with no prior experience.
The Bad
Some professionals and businesses have expressed doubts about the company’s webhosting services. IX webhosting is a shared webhosting company and some detractors believe that expanding the types of services it offers would enable it to address the technical needs of some webmasters. Although it offers support for Linux operating systems, the control panel is quite antiquated and does not feature the standard cPanel.
Analysis
Solid and competitively priced, would sum up IX webhosting’s services. Another thing that struck me was the relative ease at which a customer could terminate their service which I can’t say for some other webhosting companies. It’s their attention to small things such as customer services which are based in the US that speaks well about how they take care of their customers. With more than a decade in webhosting experience, IX webhosting takes my vote as one of the better webhosting companies in the market today.
