Hello Dear Reader,
I
recently paid a visit to the Hopkinsville, Kentucky offices of one of
the leading industry veterans, IX Web Hosting (subsidiary of global
technology firm, Ecommerce Corporation). It’s been a few years since I
last sat down with them and I was anxious to see how they were
progressing. After all, with their very attractive hosting plans and
excellent service, they’ve managed to stay ranked on our list for some
years now, recently evolving to the claim our top spots.
First
a little background on the company. IX Web Hosting has been in business
since 1999. They have several offices around the world, over 160
employees, and a whopping 170,000+ web sites, all hosted and supported
out of their Kentucky-based Data Center and Call Center facilities.
Comparatively speaking, these are very strong numbers that bode well
for the tech-giant that is IX Web Hosting.
Although
it was a brief visit (I was only in town for about 2 hours while
waiting for a plane transfer), I was glad I stopped by IX Web Hosting.
I had the opportunity to meet personally with Mr. Fathi Said, CEO and
founder, to discuss some of the advantages of hosting with his company.
He was equally as excited to meet with me as I was him, so it turned
out to be a very interesting meeting. |
“If
you’re considering a new web host and value feature rich packages,
top-notch service and excellent guarantees, I strongly recommend
IX Web Hosting.”

“IX
Web Hosting's plans give you an excellent value -- regardless of your
needs, our plans allow you to save money right away. Where else can you
get 200,000 MB of web space for $3.95/month, or unlimited disk space
and multi-domain hosting for $12.95/month, paired with a zero-risk 100%
money back guarantee?” Mr. Said explained.
And he’s right, it’s one heck of a bargain! Great features and excellent prices, one of the major reasons we currently rank IX as #1.
“IX Web Hosting is one of the few companies that offer true 24/7 phone, email and live chat support.” |
Furthermore,
while on my little visit, I was able to tour their new dedicated call
center, a new facility recently opened in April 2006. In my entire
career as professional web master, I have never seen more responsive
and technically sound support staff. I am thoroughly impressed by the
technical skills of the IX Web Hosting customer care team. Featuring a
plush 60-seat call center, excellent amenities and a strong office
community spirit, it was quite a site to see such dedicated persons who
truly enjoy helping others! |
Being
a customer of theirs for over 3 years now, I feel confident in IX Web
Hosting. Albeit, my tenure with their service hasn’t been flawless,
it’s good to know what’s going on behind the scenes. Sometimes a web
server goes down, or some times email gets lost, but such things are
only expected on the Internet. What makes it livable is that every
problem I’ve ever had, IX Web Hosting has quickly corrected the problem
and provided me with excellent communication and support along the way,
oftentimes with the very people I’ve met while visiting!
All
in all, IX Web Hosting has proved itself to be one of the better
choices for web hosting services. If you’re considering a new web host
and value feature rich packages, top-notch service and excellent
guarantees, I strongly recommend IX Web Hosting.
The Hosting Chart hereby awards IX Web Hosting the #1 Web Hosting Rank.
