    Their plan sounds really ok, but I would like a some personal opinions before I give my money away. If you are a client or you heard something, please share with us.
    Thanks.

    I hosted 4 sites with them 3 years back. In these 3 years never had any problem. It seems I have even forgotten the website passwords :) They are good. :)

    Wow. Thanks. I saw a site full of bad reviews at their address and got scared. I think i'm gonna apply at them.

    I think you can find better hosts out there. One of my clients hosted there at one time.

    I'm hosting with them, and have had no problems at all. Their customer service, especially their Live Chat, has been great and I've never had to wait more than 2 minutes to get hold of them. They helped me with everything when I was starting and did not know anything about web hosting. I however have only hosted small personal sites and never needed anything special.

    Best of luck buddy.

    I had to leave them due to issues that I was having on one of their servers. As Smyrl stated you can probably do better for the same price.

    You are correct. What they have is lame, rather line a kindergarten CP. I also had trouble in regard to down time.

    Yes. They don't have the cpanel and similar control panel.
    But they are very reliable, I don't think any of my sites was ever down in last 3 years. I love them.
    [disclaimer: I am not affiliated with them, just used them and liked them. thats it]

    Host Gator is a better host as many users say, but my experience with IX hasn't been bad at all. I do not like their control panel, but only because it looks outdated. The functionality is good and they have been very reliable.

    One thing to be considered in regard to ixwebhosting or any hosts. A host you might describe as a good host for a simple html only site may be a horrid host for interactive webs.

    At one time I had all of my webs with one host (not ixwebhosting). I never had a problem with them and sung their praises until I hosted a e-commerce site with them. Their staff did not provide the expertise to provide the support I needed for site. Communication with them was about like having a conversation with the three stooges.

    I am hosting with them

    I have asked a lot of favours to do with tech stuff that the tech people have done for me but some tech people just give suggestions answers.
    Tickets are answered sometimes in five minutes but sometimes a day
    I never had site downtime yet
    Only thing is the control panel= not Cpanel
