IX Web Hosting is a strong competitor in the budget web hosting sector. They offer a range of low-cost web hosting plans, ranging from the $3.95 Expert plan upwards. All their options include IX's own web-based Control Panel, along with reasonably generous disk space and data transfer allowances.
IX Web Hosting's most basic plan doesn't seem to offer any database facilities – this is a slightly surprising omission, but ample MySQL faculties are offered by the next hosting plan up in the range, at $6.45, so this isn't a major problem.
Reliability should not be a problem with IX Web Hosting either - 2005 saw IX win several hosting awards from well-known web hosting websites. With their guarantee of 99.9% uptime being backed by a well-advertised compensation plan, you should be able to expect good reliability from this company.
