IX Webhosting
For the last couple years, whenever someone has asked me for a shared web host recommendation, I’ve pointed them in the direction of IX Webhosting. I used them for two years and am happy I did, as they’re inexpensive with decent service. I’ve had no problem reaching them via email, chat, or phone whenever I need assistance. In particular, I recommend the Business Plus Linux plan, which costs only $6.95/mo.
In exchange for a few measly dollars, you get a really freaking good deal:
- Unlimited domains
- 1000GB web space
- 2 Free domains
- 8000GB data transfer
- 8 dedicated IP addresses
- MySQL/PostgreSQL
- PHP/Perl
- And a whole lot more!
The cheaper plan doesn’t offer database support, so don’t get that. The more expensive plan doesn’t really add much, so don’t get that either. Get the middle plan, and for the love of God, don’t get the Windows plan.
The main reason I moved was so I could have a little more control over my server to deal with heavy traffic and custom applications. If you don’t expect millions of hits each week, then IX Webhosting is a really good place to park your website. They’re no fly-by-night operation like many other inexpensive web hosts and actually do have good service for a good price.
