Think for a minute. Entrusting your website to a web hosting company is no small matter. Even for a personal website, it’s important to pick the right web host. For small businesses entrusting the right web host with their namesake can be vital to survival. IX Web Hosting has some impressive features, good support, and a fair price.  But also consider their highly spoken of competition:

Hostgator
Hostgator: the fastest growing web hosting company in the world. Constantly praised for customer service, the CEO has a policy of focusing on paying for a more talented staff of technicians and support, rather than for marketing. Positive word-of-mouth alone is responsible for their explosive growth, and that tells you more than my words ever could.


DreamHost: One of the biggest web hosting services, DreamHost has been around for a long time. That’s a good thing, it shows reliabiltiy and stabilty which is critical for any website. Nothing is worse than having a web host who disappears, and in this economy, business often go up in smoke in the blink of an eye. Not so with DreamHost: DreamHost is here to stay.


JustHost: Quickly rising up in the web hosting world for one reason above all others: price. Just Host is consistently the lowest priced of the large web hosting services, but retains a decent reputation for customer service. Which is hard task when charging such low prices, as generally, “you get what you pay for”. Not as highly spoken of as the other two, but is generally the least expensive option.
