Hi guys, here is my IX web hosting review:
IX was my first hosting company (I know I know) and while it was very difficult to get my head around some of the hosting terminology IX made it pretty simple to navigate through. I really only wanted to set up a wordpress blog on my own domain rather than use the free hosted service and the control panel let me do that in one click. I would say to go with IX hosting if you are a newcomer to hosting. I have NO IDEA how this would compare for a more experienced user.
Their uptime has been 100% for me so far (I think) and while their support are sometimes a little slow to respond at the weekends, I can live with that. I hope this helps others.
Have to agree. IX have been nothing but perfect for me the past few months. Had a LOT of issues hosting a videocode site with them and they resolved every single one quickly. Your statement about them being the leading media host could not be more true.
