2011 is a tough time for most webmasters, especially to those owning large number of domain names. Domain price increased sharply, from as low as $8 dollars to the recent $13 dollars per domain per year. That’s the price we are paying, our domain names has been renewed recently and we are paying a much higher price right now.
The same domain pricing affect ix web hosting as well, our ixwebhosting review domain name hosted with ix hosting is effected all together. Our ixwebhosting free domain name is now not free anymore, we are require to pay additional fees for the domains, we are billed for $7.49 for domain name. Having three free domain names, that is $22 dollars extra each year. We belief its due to our .ORG domain name TLD which is more expensive than regular .com domain tld.
However, we got a good news as well, for this time we are getting an extra free month for our ixwebhoting account, from ixwebhosting as compensation to the domain price increase. That is a very good deals, we take the web hosting 1 free month and thanks to their offer.

Well, I guess I should be irritated a bit. More money spent for the same product at this particular point in the economy isnt going to be a pleasant thing regardless, but I guess free domains is a bit much to ask for.
However, I only jumped up to the high end account because of an additional domain I wanted to add, so I’ll have to do the math and see if its cheaper overall to downgrade yet again.
Great hosting with IX though. Overall Im very happy with the service and overly pleasant tech support.
