IX Web Hosting making money from their INSECURE SERVERS
For going on 10 months now ix web hosting’s servers have been under attack, both the older php4 and the new php5 are full of security issues, and have been seeded and are constantly injected with various scripts and / or the .htaccess file gets renamed and customer sites are re-directed.
MORE than 120.000 IX hosted sites are injected / .htaccess hacked on a weekly basis, an excellent oppertunity for the scum IX to make a quick buck!!
IX Web Hosting will clear up the mess that is caused by their extreme Incompetence and INSECURE SERVERS for just $80 AN HOUR!!
A few days ago I was contacted by an IX customer that hosted 5 html sites ( not a single script) all 5 websites were injected with the Yahoo Counter Script, this was the 3rd time in one month that this had happened, each time she just re-uploaded all her sites, but still her sites got injected. The 4th time she approached IX to help her get her sites back in order. IX charged her $160 ( 2 hours) to get her sites back to normal. 6 DAYS later all her sites were injected, but luckily the bastards at IX were willing to help her again for another $80 an hour.

Don’t blame ya!! |

| Anyone want to buy my 2 buisness Accounts I have with IX ? I’ll sell them for a good price.. IX is the leader in quality Web Hosting, and comes with top notch support.. especially if you speak Ukrainian.. C’mon be part of history, IX might not be around for much longer. |
| Rich, 29th 2009f December, 2008 |
| IX is so full of shit, I can smell them fro here. These dickwads are clueless, they are a laughing stock. Anyone hosting their sites with these people need to seriously start looking for another host. IX is gonna get a hell of a lot worse before it gets better.. thats if they survive the loss of so many customers. |

| 6 weeks ago I purchased an account with ix webhosting, in this 6 week periode my site has been cleaned and re uploaded 14 times!! every other day it gets injected with a .htaccess file, and gets redirected. I do not have any scripts for my site an no .htaccess file. ix has constantly blamed me for this. Luckily I only have one site, I’m counting my loss and moving away. |
| Bart de Vries, 29th 2009f December, 2008 |
| A complete bunch of ignorent stuck up turds!!.. couldn’t run a stopwatch, let alone a hosting company. |

| IXWEBHOSTING is bent!I mean all my domains had a .htaccess file which redirected all search engine traffic to another website (located at starnet.md) to download malacious files (virus).
This is the contents of the .htaccess file: RewriteEngine On It’s rewriting code to direct all users from Search engines away from my websites. Good bye IX! |

| www.psedog.com Another website screwed by IX. Luckily I was nearing the end of my contract when they decided to suspend my account for “Phishing” All the suspected folders had permissions of “httpd”. A week prior to IX shutting my site down (Suspended). They had informed me that my site had been “hacked” and had a virus in it. They claimed to have fixed it. Only to shut down my site shortly after. Look at some of the recent comments under mine and you will see that I’m not the only one. IXWebHosting is crap. I only dealt with it for as long as I did because I had already paid. Unfortunately I didn’t have the site as a whole backed up. Now I have to go and rebuild it again from multiple sources.They shut my site down 2 other times before. They claimed TOS for copyright infringement. The infringing products were my own pictures from my car club in Souther California. Apparently I’m not allowed to have a nice car and know others that do as well. (G35Driver) |

| I am so pissed off with ixwebhosting, they know they have an issue with their servers, but they still blame the customers. I have 2 static sites, and they have been injected nad the files permission changed to httpd. When I phoned support I was blamed for in-secure folder permissions, when I told them I did not have any folders, they told me to purchase an anti virus software, and scan my pc!! I told them My McAfee AV is 2 months old and up to date, and scans every Tuesday and Friday.. Then they told me to TRY ANOTHER Anti Virus software Keep away from these idiots |
| Tom, 25th 2008f December, 2008 |
| Today without warning ix web shutdown my account, because I ran a script on it, I have a photography site for newly weds, I know nothing of any script. They are rude and are blaming me for their problems. How can I get my database and all my files? Can I sue them? |
| Jacque, 25th 2008f December, 2008 |
| Once they were a very good company, but now they are the worst, and the worst just keeps getting worse. Avoid ix web hosting until they get their act together. more info http://ixwebhostwarning.wordpress.com/ |

| What a nightmare!! Talk about crooks, it is beyond me that IX is still in buisness. I would not host my site with them for FREE Been there.. done it… got the stress |
| 2 matt, 25th 2008f December, 2008 |
| Hi there, go on www.dickgreasley.com to check how fast the server is. On bottom of the website is link to EBH. |
| matt, 18th 2008f December, 2008 |
| ixwebhosting.com server has been down for now 3 hours. My company cannot retreive important data. I think this company is so damn unprofessional. If anyone has any other suggestions for other good webhosting companies, please do let me know! |
| cashzzz, 18th 2008f December, 2008 |
| Server has been down now for over 2 hours….ixwebhosting keeps telling us to wait 15-30 more minutes… we cannot keep waiting like this. They said the server is under maintenance, but the server should not be down like this for more than 2 hours.. not sure how much longer… |
| cashzzz, 18th 2008f December, 2008 |
| Server is down as of now. for over 1 hour 30 minutes… we are told the server will be up another 30 minutes but that was 30 minutes ago. |
| Chris, 17th 2008f December, 2008 |
| It was a nightmare dealing with these horrendous people at IX Webhosting.- For the seven months my site was hosted there, there were a lot of slow downs, database cut-offs and data lost, and they never provide any compensation or explanation of why that happened
- IX reserves the right to cut off your website at anytime whenever they feel like to. At first they would not tell you they are going to cut you off, they just asked you to accept their TOS terms of service. Once you did that they cut you off immediately. - Worst of all, they do not allow user to download their own website or database once they suspended your account. If you are not prepared you will be totally screwed. I have never seen hosting company not providing user their database when they move out of the host. - Technical support is horrendous, either the person there just try to play dumb or are complete idiots. They do not listen to your words, they just repeat themselves over and over again as if they are merely answering machines. - Make sure you read every single word in their terms of service, there are a lot of unfair terms to the user, make sure you are alright with every single term in there before you sign up. These guys sure know how to make a fool of you by playing with the terms. |
| they are bad, 16th 2008f December, 2008 |
| Koima They are pretty bad , but have you checked out IPower.For years of consistant appalling service, i doubt you’d get any worse – anywhere . Why nearly all of the top 10 listed here are still in business is beyond me – most (not all) of them are not worth counting anywhere in the top 1000! |
| Koima, 12th 2008f December, 2008 |
| WOW, I never see so many bad comments I think I will never use ixwebhosting |
| fuckIX, 12th 2008f December, 2008 |
| ixwebhosting can kiss my arse. 2 years of these pathetic people is enough. IX does not give a damn shit about customers, they take your money and screw you BURN IX BURN!!! |
| David Lee, 11th 2008f December, 2008 |
| My htaccess file was replaced and my website was down yestoday. It seems like nothing they gonna do to make their hosting service to be the one it should be. I have to upload htaccess every 4 days. ixwebhosting is a shit! I want my money back! |
| Sandra, 11th 2008f December, 2008 |
| I am so glad that I only have 2 web sites with these crooks. I wish I had found this site before. I purchased my account 7 weeks ago, and since then I have had nothing but trouble, in those 7 weeks I have had to upload backups 11 times!! I tried to use their support 3 times, but each time all they said was I needed to create a ticket.. Bottom line, AVOID IX web hosting |
| Harry, 09th 2008f December, 2008 |
| IX wehosting is a 100% rip off, I cannot understand that they are still allowed to sell hosting. My sites are hacked on a weekly basis. Support are a bunch of ignorant retards that belong in a Zoo cleaning up the animal shit!! IX web hosting, Please do yourself a favor, and pull the plug!! You are without doubt a disgrace to the hosting world. |
| J C, 01st 2008f December, 2008 |
| Our websites has been Hacked again We were connected with IXWebHosting Now we have enough and cancelled our multiple accounts with them |
IX Web Hosting Reviews August 2008
| Jebac, 30th 2008f August, 2008 |
| CRAP, CRAP, CRAP. Avoid them at ALL cost. I was stupid not to google for review before signing up. |
| Jim, 30th 2008f August, 2008 |
| Good service until a few weeks ago and since then it can’t get much worse. Two of my domains (I have 5) have been moved and the others will soon follow. |
| Jeff, 18th 2008f August, 2008 |
| I had been a customer of IX Web Hosting for over 4 years. I have watched their service and support deteriorate significantly especially the past year. My web sites were routinely down and IX Web Hosting missed their guaranteed up-time metrics nearly every month. When I complained they would credit my account for an additional month. Finally after my sites were down for 10 consecutive days I decided a change was in order. I moved my sites and canceled my IX Web Hosting account. Rather than getting the money back I was told I would get a fraction of the refund I was owed. The customer service and billing department argued that the credits I received for them missing their stated guarantee were basically worthless from a monetary standpoint and that they continued to incur charges. Not only did I have to endure countless outages and deal with incompetent technical support leading to additional downtime and outages but I would pay for this “privilege” receiving a minimum refund. I’ve opened a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about their business tactics and I recommend to everyone to say as far away from IX Web Hosting as possible. If you already have an account there I suggest getting out while you can before you find your sites and your money drained. |
| Useless Uptime, 08th 2008f August, 2008 |
| I do not recommend them at all. STAY AWAY. Their servers are continually down, and suppport is non existant, if you try to resolve things with them |
| no need for detail, 03rd 2008f August, 2008 |
| You’ve said it all. Thank God my account is up for renewal in 30 days. I am looking elsewhere. CC2k will post its new home when we find one and are sure it will not bring heartache to others. Bye Bye IX, you had you chances, way too many of them. |
| chris, 02nd 2008f August, 2008 |
| Yes, it was working for about 10 minutes, i was able to get an order … then it’s down again. The guy who tripped over the cord maybe also spilled coffee over the electrical outlet. God! |
| bigboytoyauction.com, 02nd 2008f August, 2008 |
| DANG IT !!!! It was working and i start uploading and BAM!! MFR its down again |
| Chris, 02nd 2008f August, 2008 |
| Haha.. funny. I actually tried to click on Ixwebhosting.com google ads and the site doesn’t load. This is how our customers are feeling when they click on our ads. This also isn’t good for internet rankings I suppose. My server is down at the moment and i’m just sitting here twittling my thumbs. |
| kenny, 02nd 2008f August, 2008 |
| Actually I couldnt get on their website but you can call them at 1800 385 0450 or 1 614 534 1961. I dont understand how their who network of servers are down at the same time. Did someone trip over the power cord? Well, i have to say at least they answered my call. This is the 6th time the server was down in the past week. I have three website monitors running at the same time which alert me each time the server is down. This doesn’t include server stalling problems. Im starting to regret I am hosting with ixwebhosting. If this continues I will for certain move to another company. |
| kenny, 02nd 2008f August, 2008 |
| Yes, the server is down. I contacted Ixwebhosting just now and they said it will be fixed in 30 minutes. I also used alertra to check ixwebhosting website and they are down as well. Just keep clicking on their google ads so they know how it feels when our websites are down and people click on ours. Here is the logs for Ixwebhosting.com website itself.

| Dont get me wrong, I have used them for quite a while and never had an issue but all of a sudden its not working. I think its back up now guys try it. This means it was only down for about 5 minutes. |
| bigboytoyauction.com, 02nd 2008f August, 2008 |
| My server is down to this isnt normal I was in the middle of uploading something. |
| Kenny, 02nd 2008f August, 2008 |
| The problem I found is that when the server is down with Ixwebhosting they will deny it is down. Even with proof logs of 3rd party monitoring companies such as alertra and internetseers. My server is down right now as well. I need help but cannot find anyone at ixwebhosting. |
| Chris, 02nd 2008f August, 2008 |
| hello, yes, my server is down with ixwebhosting too. I dont think they know how to run a company. Something is wrong. The server is down more than once a week! I also need suggestions on better servers. This isn’t cutting it. |
| Jack, 02nd 2008f August, 2008 |
| Any good suggestions on servers. Ixwebhosting.com server is down at this moment and I cannot get to contact anyone at the company. |
