IX Web Hosting has built and managed their very own data center in Hopkinsville, Kentucky - right next to their own brand new tech center. They are committed to customer service, through helpful support, reliable service, the availability of tools, and unbeatable pricing.

IX Web Hosting hosts over 200,000 business websites in over 150 countries. It's no wonder, their CEO has implemented not one, but three money-back guarantees supporting their pledge on uptime and reliability.

Business Hosting

IX Web Hosting's Business Plus plan features unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth, and two free domain names. Features include 5000 POP3 Email Accounts, MySQL databases, website statistics, a free site builder, a selection of e-commerce shopping carts, and blogging scripts. They also offer free advertising credits from Google Adwords, Microsoft Adcenter, and Yahoo Search Marketing - a combined value of $425.

Overall Performance

Reliability
IX Web Hosting owns their own data center with access to multiple redundant backbone connections across more than 5 telecom providers. All their servers operate on UPS power back-up and diesel back-up generators so that your website will be up and running all the time.

Price Value
The price for hosting is very reasonable. Keep in mind that you are provided two domain names, unlimited web space, and unlimited bandwidth allocation. In addition, IX Web Hosting offers up to $533 worth of marketing credits for every hosting plan purchased.

Control Panel
IX Web Hosting utilizes H-Sphere control panel, a relatively easy to use, skinnable interface with advanced management controls. It makes managing a shared hosting account very simple with self serve interfaces and end user access for mail and domain administration.

Customer Support
Support Representatives are available 24/7 by phone (toll-free), email, and live chat. Their online help center has a large, searchable knowledgebase, and a very comprehensive collection of interactive online tutorials.
