[I582]Ix Web Hosting Review

by Christoph Puetz, Chr

Have you ever heard of IX Web Hosting when looking for a new web host? Finding a new web host is looking for the infamous needle in a hay stack. There are thousands of web hosts that offer the same product for the same price and even worse – their websites are almost look-a-likes. The Web Hosting Resource Kit is an independent website that has reviewed and tested many web hosts – including one that is called IX Web Hosting. Why would you consider IX Web Hosting as your new web hosting provider? The first time you enter their website, you will notice their low prices. But the next thing you may ask yourself about, is just what exactly you are getting for the price? Is it a web hosting provider worth looking at it? Will I eventually lose money? How will my website perform on their servers?

The following is a short list of reasons why IX Web Hosting has impressed me. As an independent product reviewer I often get contacted by sales managers asking me to review their products. In many cases the intent is easily to see. However, when I talked to the IX Web Hosting Manager I was impressed with how thorough and in-depth our discussion was. I then checked out their website and what the overall feedback was on many different web hosting forums. The majority of the feedback was very positive in my opinion.

Then I looked at their website again and what they had to offer. IX Web Hosting turns out to be one of those companies surviving the burst of the dot come bubble and to use the bad times to grow stronger by offering extremely good web hosting products. Prices and support have found their way into the hearts of many web hosting customers.

The Web Hosting Resource Kit took everything to the test and I have written several times about IX Web Hosting. I personally run too many high traffic websites and need my own dedicated servers, but for shared web hosting I have found that IX Web Hosting is a solid choice I would consider right away if in the for cheap web hosting. Things that impressed me, were high availability, speed of support response to tickets, low pricing and a huge list of features and last but not least the fact that IX Web Hosting hosts over 350,000 customer domains already. That number is very impressive in my opinion. Friends I have referred to IX Web Hosting have not had yet any reason to switch web hosts which releaves me a little bit. I am always kind of nervous when recommending a web host, because it would reflect bad on my reputation send them to a bad web host.

It is a good recommendation to judge a web host by several factors. I am always impressed if a web host is around since the 1990's as that usually indicates that they are a solid business operation.

Many people wonder whether there is a solution to this problem and the simple answer is that there is. You can figure out which companies are good and which are bad by focusing on the reviews themselves and determining which ones are genuine and which ones are simply sales pitches. This is easier said than done in the savvy world of cyberspace, but there are some tips below to help guide you through this process.

When considering web hosting reviews in detail (regardless of whether they are referring to web hosting deals specifically or just generally reviewing a particular host), the first thing that you should look at is the language. You should remember from school the difference between a report you gave that was well researched and thought out beforehand and a report you gave that was hurried and thrown together at the last minute. The former had a lot of specific information in it and really did a lot to cover the width and breadth of the situation while the latter generalized a number of things in the hope of glossing over details with smooth language.

This is exactly true for web hosting reviews online. The specific ones that give you information about the different areas of the host (i.e. web hosting deals, web hosting support, web hosting services etc.) are reviews that actually know what they are talking about while the ones that just give you generalized information that you could easily get by looking at the index page of the host website are nothing but sales hype. It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between the two, but with enough practice and experience you will soon learn exactly how to tell them apart.

Another way to recognize the sincerity of web hosting reviews is to actually evaluate the accuracy of web hosting deals. The internet is a fast beast and change comes to its ways all the time. The various web hosting companies are consistently evaluating and changing their web hosting deals whenever those deals are found to be wanting in one way or another. The websites that are truly on the ball when it comes to web hosting reviews will recognize this and change their website frequently whereas the ones that just want to make a few affiliate commissions will not. Evaluating the accuracy and up-to-date nature of websites is a powerful method for evaluating their sincerity and therefore their trustworthiness.

Remember, even an affiliate site with earnest web hosting reviews can tell you which ones are good, while an informational site with a long list of web hosting deals and no updates is one that is clearly just trying to make a few sales.
