Review: The deciding factors to switching to IX were, 1) rDNS via dedicated IP (basic plan includes ONE, other providers basic plan provides NONE). 2) Price, $3.95/mo, not a "special introductory rate" that goes up later. 3) Tech support had the right answers the first time....Read full customer review

Review: I have been with IX Web for over 3 years. My own experience has been satisfactory. The few times I have submitted a support ticket, the response time has been quick. I was with another web service and compared to them, IX is much better. They are one of the few that support both a windows based server and linux. Since I use ASP, the windows platform was a real plus....Read full customer review
