Comparison of Price with Features |
IX small business web hosting offers excellent value for your money by loading its budget web hosting packages with unique features that are seldom found with the other small business web hosting providers. For a low price of only $4.95/month, you get a huge 20 GB of disk space and 250 GB bandwidth plus a free domain name. You also get 20 sub domains, 50 MySQL databases, 2500 Email accounts, 2500 FTP accounts and the list grows and grows. The most outstanding feature of their budget web hosting packages is the inclusion of dedicated IPs for each additional domain hosted under the same account (you get 2 dedicated IPs with the IX Expert Plan and 6 with IX Business Plus). This means that you will be able to host your domain name on its own static and dedicated IP address. By hosting with a dedicated IP, you will always be able to reach your website's files, regardless if your domain name is responding or not. It is an extremely valuable resource for fixing problems that may arise with your domain name. A dedicated IP also allows you to test your website thoroughly before you change its nameservers. This is something that no other web host (with the option of hosting multiple web sites) is offering at the moment.
Other unique features of IX small business web hosting include 100% 30 Day Money-Back Guarantee plus Any-Time Money Back Guarantee, Price-Freeze Guarantee and 99.9% Uptime Guarantee. The only shortcoming that their IX Expert Plan seems to have is that it does not include Ecommerce features (although they are included with their IX Business Plus plan for $7.95/month). However if you want these features at the same price of $4.95/month, then you should consider Dot5Hosting which supports Ecommerce features but includes only 1 dedicated IP to be shared among the 6 domains hosted under the same account.
