Reliability
There are no more than 100 websites per server, very less when you compare it with other hosts. Most of the web hosts serve thousands of sites per server. With high quality servers, IX web hosting is able to provide 99.9 % uptime guarantee. All their plans offer a 30 day money back guarantee, in case customer is not satisfied with the services. However, their claim to be a highly reliable company was tinted somewhat since there has been instances where clients have published negative remarks about their way of handling of situations.

Unlike other web hosts, IXWebHosting does not use Cpanel control panel. Feature rich H panel is the control panel provided by IXWebHosting. It is very similar to Cpanel and also easy to use. Customers can manage domains, sub domains, FTP accounts, email accounts, MySQL databases, update personal information, billing information and mailing lists. The control panel comes with a site builder

Selecting a high quality web host is best achieved by taking the process step by step. A great place to start is a reputable web host review site. They have often done the hard yards for you by researching the prices and features offered by different hosting companies. This can save you a huge amount of time and money, since a good hosting company can be hard to find. The best review sites often list their top 5 or 10 recommendations, and compare their features against the prices they offer.
