Cheap
Web hosts are domain hosts
at $5 or less a month, and the Cheap Web
Host
Awards is one of a series of
featured Web
Hosting Awards
which bring you the pick of the
best and most popular cheap hosts available
today.
IX
Web Hosting
is the hosting arm of the
Ecommerce Corporation, a world leader in content
and delivery services with offices in nearly every
continent.
They own and maintain all their own equipment
which is located in their own substantial data
center in Hopkinsville, KY. Their network runs on
fault-tolerant systems utilizing smart-routing
which ensures very fast Web site loading times and
is designed with a high degree of redundancy which
enables them to offer a true 99.9% uptime
guarantee.
That's impressive, but perhaps the most important
feature they offer is their focus on customer
service which is backed by a 1 hour support
guarantee.
Finding a Web host with this degree of quality and
reliability is a task in itself, but finding one
in this price segment is very rare to say the
least and it may come as a surprise to many to see
what they have to offer.
Their IX Expert plan features 10 GB disk space,
100 GB bandwidth, 2500 email accounts, Webmail and
supports 2 domains, one of which they will give
you free. If you pre-pay this account can cost as
little as $3.95 a month, complete with a
price-freeze guarantee, so it will never cost
more.
In summary IX Web Hosting offers a quality
network in a quality data center with an
emphasis on customer service at a price that is
truly very cheap indeed, and earns them the
position as our top cheap Web hosts.
Netfirms
offer a very well featured plan on their fast,
multi-homed, OC3 and gigabit fiber-connected
network in this price segment.
At $4.95 the Netfirms Plus account comes with 6Gb of storage,
300Gb of monthly
traffic, and 10 email accounts, which will more
than cater to the vast majority of Web sites
requirements, and you can host 2 domains on it if
you wish.
Setup
is free and they offer instant activation of their
accounts, all of which come with a 30 day
unconditional guarantee.
With a client base of over 100,000 members, iPower Hosting
have become very popular Web hosts.
With best of breed equipment in two world-class
data centers, connected to the Internet using the
highest performing OC48/OC192 IP backbone
available, their network set-up is high quality,
and they have garnered several awards for
outstanding performance and customer service.
Their offering in this price bracket includes 5Gb
disk space, 250Gb data transfer, ftp, email account
and forwarding, cgi-bin and site self backup.
These top picks for
cheap web site hosting show quite different offerings and
approaches, with what is
right for one person not necessarily suiting
another. For that reason it may be worthwhile
browsing through the whole list of cheap domain
hosting, because a different organization's offering
may be just the niche that suits you best.
