Stay away from IX webhosting

[Mr-AJ]

Must be one of the worst hosters with incredible downtime. Sites I hosted there are performing not that well in Google and I think one of the reasons is that chances are pretty high that G finds a dead site. Will only host feeder sites where I don't care that much. Thumbs down!

Why would you host ANY sites at all if the host is always down.

[pokergooddeal]

What host do you guys use?

I use GoDaddy, HostPapa and HostGator.

HostPapa are useless at the moment, I am fighting with them to host a .fr domain on my nameservers...

Godaddy is quite reliable and have a good support although last week there was several godaddy sites from several different persons down with 'Page not available' errors and Godaddy fixed the issue with 5 hours but didn't want to admit the issue was on their side...

For Hostgator, I host 2 WP sites, and it runs ok so far but the site are quite small...

I have a blue host account, have plenty of sites on the normal $8/month deal and I find them great, I see people complain about downtime, it does happen a very odd time, but for the price/service I find it great.

Yes, BH is ok. They used to have decent downtime but they have become better again. I tried IX to diversify my websites IPs and don't host money sites there. They say that some people abuse the bandwith and that's the risk of shared hosting. I wonder why I never had these issues with BH or Hostgator before. Although their support is good, I won't recommend them.

@ Aussie: How do you wanna know about the real downtime when you don't host any sites there?

I use Bluehost and Hostgator. The both have +/- the same cPanel, which makes administration easier. It seems to me that Hostgator has less downtime than BH.

He asked a perfectly legitimate question. You start a thread titled "stay away from..." and then say they are one of the "worst hosters with incredible downtime"... yet you still have a hosting account with them. Then you get defensive when someone asks the blinking obvious.

FWIW I have some shared hosting with BlueHost and HostGator... neither are for my money sites or ones that I check daily. If I had to pick only one of them then it'd probably be HostGator, but there's not much between them, IMO.

I dont know where the problem is. It's obvious that I gave them a try and have not been happy with them. Obviously I won't move all sites instantly and I'm sure it was just a typical rant.
