I have had a account here at IX for over 7 mos now and would have to say DON"T USE THEM for anything more that html pages. I host 5 site there right now (only till my account is up for renew) all my site are Mysql and PhP based and that’s were the trouble lays.

There MySql server are over sold to the point at times it will take 10 to 20 sec to show, trying to run a forum there well good luck as people trying to post will only see page time out 35% of the time.I don't think in the 5 mos I have been there I have not seen downtime everyday if only for 5 min but none the less downtime.

Web mail is out of date and slow to load all the time, php send mail is down more than it's up.

Trouble tickets take 24 hours to get a auto reply with this info same thing every time.

A: Dear valued customer,

I apologize for the recent problems with the SQL server.
Such issues are related to the fact that you are hosted on the shared server, where besides you, the accounts of other customers are hosted as well.
As you might understand, we are literally unable to control every customers's actions on the server. There is no technical way to track if there is anything getting prepared to spam, is there any trend for the traffic on somebody's web site to increase rapidly or if somebody's forum will be overcrowded in a few minutes.
We can not foresee such failures. However, I totally understand that this is a lame excuse for you.
Let me inform you that we are now in the process of moving the part of the accounts from this server to a new one. We believe that it will unload the server a bit and you will see the first results in a few days.
Your accounts won't be toucned in any way, do not worry, this is also won't influence the work of the SQL server in general.
We thank you for your prolonged patience and staying with us though.

Please don't use this host for anything more that Html ONLY
