What Costumers say about IX Web Hosting

I have been using IXwebhosting for a little more than 2 years, and found them to be a reliable host with great customer service.

IX is very useful for the person studying programming using php, postgresql, cgi, JavaScript, apache, including email.

I've been using IX webhosting services for about 3 months and all is perfect as of today. My websites have been down only 2 times for about 5 minutes during these 3 months, nothing considerable.

Ixwebhosting really is a good hosting, and i am using the business plan which is $6.95 per month. And each websites with dedicated IP address.
