Ix Web Hosting Review & Coupon $38 Discount – IXwebhosting Hosted

Lately, there are few complaint that we saw is regarding to ixwebhosting support, which the user ‘claimed’ the ixwebhosting support team is utsource to Rusia or other asian country. The claim is mentioning the technical support team can’t speak fruent english, or can’t communicate properly. Thats the biggest joke we had ever seen. As a web hosting review entity, we had experience with more than 50 web hosting companies, not to mention communicate with their technical support to get issue solved. Time to time, we encounter foreigner that help us to solve technical problem. They did a great job as well, if they are not good at the job, they won’t stay long at it, thats what we see. We also see talent is seek world wide at everywhere, the best talent is no just next to your house or something, it can be at others countries. If there is foreign people working as technical support, we are fine as long they are able to get issue solved as quick as others do

Furthermore ix web hosting support call centre is located in Kentucky, US

“Our call center is right here, in the US

Out Call Center in KY Hopkinsville, Kentucky; to be exact. We know that normally, just being located in the US wouldn’t be something to brag about, but with all of the complaints concerning support employees having too-low a command of English to help you, let alone greet you properly, we thought we should mention it.“

Note that ix web hosting domain name does not have domain privacy feature. Ix web hosting plans come with multiple free domain name, and each domain name will shows your personal contact information when someone performed a WHOIS search on your ix domain name.

I had contact ix web hosting support regarding this ixwebhosting domain privacy problem, and i had been informed that ix web hosting doesn’t have domain privacy protection feature for their registered domain name. Meaning that the domain registered with IXwebhosting will not have this domain protection feature.

Unless your domain name is now with other registrar, or you transfered your domain to other registrar that offering domain privacy feature. Then you can activate the domain privacy feature from these domain registrar. For example namecheap is giving 1 year free whois protection to domain name registered with them or transfer to them. You can activate the domain privacy from namecheap instead.

Over the 12 months hosted with ixwebhosting, it had been really great! I have to say that the ix web hosting server uptime is good and the server is much realiable as well. This ix web hosting review site is being monitored 24/7 and every 5 minutes for server downtime or any websites problems. So far, i am happy with it, and been using it for more than 12 months old. Lately i renew the ix hosting subscription, and extended the hosting term.

Ix web hosting had upgraded their hosting package, and now its offering even much more for even less price. Ixwebhosting business plus plan which is previously offering 8 domain hosting, is now upgraded to unlimited domain hosting. And you can add as much websites/domain to this single account as you like.

Ix web hosting marketing coupon had been increased as well. With business plus hosting package is now offering $533 in marketing coupon, unlimited pro plan is offering $558 in coupon. Which is a very huge value. Use these marketing coupon to buy some online visitors to your website, and convert them into sales income. Nice free money from ix.

At localtime 6pm, 25th May 2007, first time i having ftp downtime. The website still can appear as normal, and wordpress blog are accessible like normal days. However, just the ftp account can not be login/accessible. I am using cuteftp ftp client to make ftp connection. Might be a short downtime, so i waited after 10 minutes, and try to make the ftp connection to ix server again. I got the same ftp problem again. The FTP log as following:

STATUS:> Getting listing “”…
STATUS:> Resolving host name Ixwebhostingforum.com…
STATUS:> Host name Ixwebhostingforum.com resolved: ip = 76.163.44.91.
STATUS:> Connecting to FTP server Ixwebhostingforum.com:21 (ip = 76.163.44.91)…
STATUS:> Socket connected. Waiting for welcome message…
ERROR:> Can’t read from control socket. Socket error = #10054.

Yaisk… this problem still persist. So, quickly i live chat with ix web hosting support and tell them about this problem. OK, my problem got their attention, and after 2 minutes, they reply and said that no problem as their site and they tested it. So, this left one solution, which is the problem is at my side. I try to login from webbrowser to ftp server, still can not connect to server. Frustrated at the beginning, but later i search online for the error message explaination. It lead me to a setting changes on cuteftp software. Change the detect mode to port, and not the auto mode instead. This solved the connected issue. So, the problem is as my side actually.

This review blog is hosted by IXwebhosting business plan for almost 4 weeks time now, and for the first time i detected server downtime, and my website is not accessible. So does all my other 2 addon domains. Quickly i check on the ixwebhosting.com homepage to get connected to ix support. Unfortunately i can’t get connected as well. My first though is might be my local ISP’s DNS problem, and this can cause website not accessible.

After another five minutes, i gain access to ixwebhosting homepage, and i connected to live chat. Instantly i get a support staff to help me. I stating that all my website are down and please help me to check on it.  After a minute and few question asked, they told me its their datacentre maintenance and upgrading work. Thats the reason that caused the downtime. They promised to get my sites back up and running in short time. Actually after the live chat session, i visited my website, including this review blog, its back online.

Total downtime is estimated to be within 10 minutes, and its caused by scheduled maintenance. Cause of its a short duration of interuption and downtime, customer is not necessary to get informed and panic for the 10 minutes time. Well, i can accept that, as long the server is maintained at their best quality.

www.ixwebhostingreview.org is hosted at ixwebhosting with business package. And i can host a maximum of 8 domains/websites here. Today while browing my websites hosted here, i notice that the sites is suddently not available and most likely is server problem or downtime. Website downtime is very common to any hosting provider, and usually its take just few minutes to be available again. But i would like to log this error, and hopefully it can be catched, and prevented in future by support team. Quickly i visited ixwebhosting.com and start a live chat conversation.

Through the five minutes chat, the ixwebhosting live support is been very helpful, honest, and speed in getting the issue solved. I am happy with it. Here is the preview of the converstation with them:

It’s very important that at any issue, you can reach the customer support team at the quickest, and solve the problem on the spot. If this issue is to be solved through emails, i don’t think it will ever get solved, and customer will upsad cause need to resend many emails repeatingly explaining the problem that the hosting support can’t see it at the time.

Experience good customer support from Ixwebhosting

Today, a very nice holiday here. In the early morning, i was setup a new forum website at ixwebhosting hosting server, and setup a new email account as well. Finally the vbulletin forum and the email is setup and running.

When i using outlook express to connect to Ixwebhosting email pop3 account. I keep getting the “authentication failure” error from outlook. I relogin to ixwebhosting manager, and change the email password. And check with outlook express settings. Both are correct, webmail can access the emails. But outlook still can’t connect to mail server.

After tired of trying, i visited ixwebhosting homepage, and started live chat with technical support. The live chat took almost 10 minutes. Because the support personal is helping by setup outlook at his machine. .. first time in history, actually the support team is simulation the scenario, just to help me solved the problem. Here is the chat session:
