Do not even try hosting with them.

They cant solve your problem and believe me, problems grow there.

My email does not work from day 1 and after a ticket that has been open till now, it's not solve.

They are cheap... but definitely not worth the price you pay for.

Verdict :

I've three accounts with 3iX. Problems are
1) One of the sites had over a hundred spam subdomains - you'll come to know only if you do google search for 'site:'. I wrote to them, and in a day the subdomains resulted in error and did not open malicious sites.
2) All three sites repeatedly get hacked by trojans. You'll come to know this only if you have a licensed anti-virus installed on your pc- it'll prevent you from opening the site. Solution is to use a strong auto-generated 24 character password; I'm safe since last three months after I started using a strong password.
3) Sites are often down; I use a site monitoring tool, and sometimes my site has been down for as long as 47 minutes. I wrote to them, and thankfully they agreed that it was due to 'upstream' problem. I guess it is a continuous problem, as my site still get down for several minutes.
4) The site response time is sometimes very high. Over a one week period with a ping every fifteen minutes, the minimum was 431 ms and maximum was 24024 ms, averaging 1731 miliseconds. I have another account with hostgator, which averages only 231 miliseconds. I've written several times to them on this, but get a standard reply 'It's working now'.

My conclusion is that 3iX is not a bad choice if you are a small or medium company and your site is your product or service related, main reason being the low cost. If it is a complex site like say a database driven, or you want to set up once and forget about maintenance of your site, don't got for 3iX.

Bots took control of my domain, generated dozens of spam subdomains resulting in a google ban. No help from support, poor server administration, lots ofdowntime... I guess you get what you pay for... cheap..

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Worst support ever. Not to mention they will suspend without notice and delete your data. You would have to be the a major idiot to go with them.

Verdict :

Initially hosted 3 sites with them. All went OK but regularly noticed downtime and also had e-mail connection issues. A couple of months ago all my sites were taken over repeatedly by viruses and trojans, and it took them weeks to fix it. Stupidly hosted a fourth site with them, and this just disappeared one day: no notification. They eventually told me that my site had been taken down because of a complaint from SpamCop, on the grounds that spam was being sent from the site. The site had no scripts and no e-mail set up so any spam being sent was clearly down to their own lack of security, but they wanted $60 to investigate! If they do ever reply to e-mails they use Martian (I think: it is certainly not English). Please learn from my experience and avoid this company like the plague.

stay clear. they are holding on to my domain when i have requested more than 5 times that i want to transfer my domain, to a new registrar. they are un-operative, and don't reply your emails when it's a real emergency.

they are the admin contact for your whois data for the domain YOU own, so they are able to "deny" transfer requests for no reason (coz they want you to perpetually renew your domain and hosting plan with them, that's what!).

unscrupulous and unethical. don't be enticed by the low prices, because the trouble that you get is not worth it. save yourself time and unnecessary stress by paying more, for a more reliable host.

Verdict :

I am paying for a hosting account which I no longer needed. Ive terminated the account more than a year ago and they are charging me twice (which is last year and this year) for an account which no longer exist. Probably, the system arent updated for yonks or probably the billing department is still sleeping or something. This is purely a crap. No refunds were made for both charges. If this thing arnt stopped, I'd be paying for the hosting for the rest of my life!

Paypal has reviewed the case and no updates were given. This is the 2nd time Paypal is cancelling the account (which supposed to be cancelled sometime ago).

Well, I guess i should avoid 3ix and paypal as well.

Verdict :

I was hosted by these clowns for 8 months and I am so glad to be clear of them, they were very unhelpful towards me and I am sorry I ever signed into their dirt cheap package.

You only get what you pay for and I paid hardly anything and got virtually nothing back in return.

Stay Clear.

Verdict :

Signed up for the Excel plan ($44/year, 5 GB storage, cPanel, ClickBe, Fantastico, etc.) They were nice and responsive prior to my purchase.
Trouble started right after signing up: ClickBe didn't work. Asked them to fix it. They made a number of attempts, and did not get it to work most of the time. They downgraded my subscription to Excite level in the process and lost my two mailing lists. I then told them I wanted a refund (they offer a 30-day refund) and stated my reasons. According to support, I have an open ticket with admins regarding the refund, but they did not get back to me in this matter in the past 5 days. The story is documented here (still hosted by them :-)

Why I rated their pricing as 1 out of 5: they are cheap, but given that they did not deliver anything, the price is not right...
