IX Web Hosting’s Reviews Feb. 2009
IX Web Hosting’s Promise to you.

Remeber this? In big letters on their Home Page, “Our Promise to you“ well, the ship started sinking in April, and the rats started fleeing, and “Their Promise to us” disappeared like a fart in the wind.. Or so they had hoped.
Let me take you back in time, to refresh your memory, read and have a laugh at the promises that were made, hey, even sit back and listen to the CEO Fathi Said tell us how important we are.. as he well puts it, “Without you, IX web hosting would not exist“ Ooohhh and while you are enjoying the blast to the past, why not send him a personal message..
ENJOY : http://web.archive.org/web/20080101195251/www.ixwebhosting.com/index.php/v2/pages.ourPromiseToYou
Dear Friend,It’s my personal wish to address you with this letter. It is very important for me to get in touch with my customers, for a simple reason:
Without you, we would not be in business.
IX Web Hosting Reviews 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. |

| 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. |

| 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 |

| 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. |

| 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! |

| 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. |
IX Web Hosting Reviews July 2008

| Patrick, 28th 2008f July, 2008 |
| ixwebhosting.com is basically bottom of the barrel hosting. I can’t imagine anything worse. Their server went down again Saturday and now my entire wiki website no longer works because of a corrupted database. Do not use this host because you WILL have problems. Lots of them. |
| Pascal, 28th 2008f July, 2008 |
| I have to admit, IXwebhosting is not that good. My site has been down 4 times in the past year. sometimes it takes 12-24 hours to get things back up and running. The email servers have been slow lately. Right now, my FTP service does not work; I can’t login either. I’ve started looking for another host because reliability is my main concern. |
| Alex Ho, 28th 2008f July, 2008 |
| Ok, GUYS, I’m so pissed with this ixwebhosting sh*t. 2 weeks ago their MySQL server was down and they didn’t save a back up for me even they could be able to back up some other databases which made me so pissed coz I have a forum of 12,000 members for 5 years. (Fortunately I got my own back up, but it’s 6 months old!) Yes, I called them, chatted live, emailed, ticketed, all sh*t, but all I got was “we are wrking on it”. Funny, huh?
They have cheap plans, I agree, the reason I chose them cause they had cheap plans, and I tested their website speed with a tool, and their site speed was light speed. However, after using their hosting for 2 years, now their hosting service turned out too bad now. My sites have been on and off, regardless the daytime or nighttime. Just imagine you staying home on Saturday night and Sunday night coding your site instead of going out watch movies with your cute girlfriend, and suddenly the site&host&ftp… everything shut down at 1am when you are so stuck with the code, that’s b*** sh*t huh? GUYS, PLEASE THINK OVER BEFORE BUYING THIS HOSTING SERVICE: IXWEBHOSTING.COM <= Cheap doesn’t mean good! I’m on my way finding another hosting, hix Anyway, read over this comment box to see how BAD this hosting service is! I saw about 95% NEGATIVE FEEDBACK! |
| cashzzz@hotmail.com, 27th 2008f July, 2008 |
| The server is down right now receiving the following error: HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error. The reply from the tech support said they cannot help and we need to send a ticket to the center. All sites are down. It’s time to move servers. |
| kads, 22nd 2008f July, 2008 |
| i am moving webhost. my site is down at the moment, their support doesnt even speak english, my emails dont work. their site doesn’t work. + when my site does load, it loads at 2 miles per century. im moving to 5quidhost.co.uk which has awesome reviews. |
| cashzzz@hotmail.com, 20th 2008f July, 2008 |
| I think we have to throw in the towel soon. We have given ixwebhosting a serious try and in the past 2 months, the web server has been down more than 8-10 times. The email server also had problems as well and does not send out emails. We have also contacted the tech support online, which is good they have this feature, but they never know how to fix the problem. They will ask you to send an email. But they wont fix it until hours up to 5 days. We are looking for better hosting and would like your suggestions. Ixwebhosting is not good enough at this point. Server has too many problems and downtime is serious. |
| elawcase@gmail.com, 20th 2008f July, 2008 |
| Ixwebhosting.com server ns13, and ns14 is currently down. We have contacted ixwebhosting support and they do not how to fix the problem. The server has been down for 3 days intermittently. The server is down now. |
| Steve, 19th 2008f July, 2008 |
| The uptime is brilliant. My site has only been down twice for about 5 minutes. But I do not recommend this host. The MySQL server I am on has a lot of problems. Some guy I know keylogged me and got into my forums and deleted everything. The backups I uploaded wouldn’t work, so I made a support ticket. It took them TWO WEEKS to reply. They said they had a backup from the day before it was hacked. I asked them to restore it. A week later they replied again and said they didn’t have the backup. So, I had to completely start my forum over again. Next month I will be moving host, and I asked them to email me a backup of my website. I have been waiting 3 days so far and still no reply from them.
THE SUPPORT SUCKS. Do not host with these guys. It is a waste of money and a waste of time. Plus they have really bad servers. |
| abimbola, 15th 2008f July, 2008 |
| In the name of almighty God, do not host with ixwebhosting!You will have the greatest regrets in your life. All the websites I have been developing for years disappeared and ixwebhosting said that was due to massive hard storage failure and that the data are irrecoverable.Please,Please,Please do not host with this company as it is not a company but a form of internet dupe! |
| good by_ix, 12th 2008f July, 2008 |
| ix webhosting service # Stop service ticketing technical support. # Stop service database. # Problems are endless. # Company on the precipice, waiting to fall down. # I advise you: Make your files and transferred into the computer. |
| kads, 09th 2008f July, 2008 |
| have opened a ticket for 2 days on ix, and it hasnt been responded to. live chat is also unhelpful. my emails are down and i can’t access them. this is the first problem i’ve had. |
| cashzzz, 03rd 2008f July, 2008 |
| Okay, it has been now 4-5 days that the email server does not work with ixwebhosting. They keep saying please wait 24 hours and the issue will be resolved. But so far their email webserver is not working or sending emails out. I think I may need to throw in the towel soon. Ixwebhosting does not know how to run their web servers or maintain it. If they do not fix the email server 2 more days, I have to urgently move my server.. anyone with good suggestions of a company who is reliable, know how to maintain the server, doesn’t overload the servers, has multi domain hosting for ASP classic pages, and uses HSphere, please let me know. Thank you. cashzzz@hotmail.com |
| cashzzz, 02nd 2008f July, 2008 |
| I’m quite frustrated because the email server at ixwebhosting is not working properly . Not sending out emails at all. This is the second day and the issue is not resolved yet. Really frustrating. If anyone has suggestions of other hosting that uses hsphere control panel and unlimited domain hosting, pls let me know. cashzzz@hotmail.com |
