Unfortunately I have/had (not too sure yet) 2 x $55 accounts + some extra's (with costs). I've been phoning, emailing, and using their 'live chat' all day - to try and get some response - even just to let me access mySql data - but to no avail. One of the sites I had hosted there was one of the bigger top sites list, and another, a busy forum - so all day I've been bombarded with messages from disgruntled members. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Anyway - that's it! I'm off to the pub to drown my sorrows! Thanks for the reply Dave.

I've been waiting until April (now) to do my piece on them, but I think if enough of us do pieces associating the words "3ix" and "bad" then at least when people do a search at least they'll have some stories to read and make a judgment. That dollar a month is attractive though, so it's an uphill battle! Hi Mike,

They (and host-care.com) are completely useless. 1. Their service is unreliable 2. They have a lot of security holes 3. They will only communicate with you if and when it suits them The final straw came, when after breakfast I went online to find an email from them saying - 'Account terminated due to a report from spamcop'! They hadn't emailed me to ask or debate - just chopped me and all of the sites (+ valuable data) off! And could I contact them - by any means? - Not a chance! They had sent me the email header - I processed it through spamcop - and it actually showed that the offending source was from elsewhere! I am currently trying to relocate around 8 websites and domains - but as yet, have not heard from them - and have lost all of my clients data. :-( 3ix – has got to be the very worst hosting company I’ve come across in using many different hosts (for different projects) over the last 11 years!

Thanks for the visit Tim. Yeah it's funny because next month I'm supposed to renew with those guys but it's just sitting dormant since I quietly packed up and "moved," and I'll just let that 3ix account close. And I'm at geekstorage now. After looking at prices, responsiveness of the company and services I chose those guys and the first DAY I was with them they crashed for like 5 days. So I was all set to take advantage of their <strong>money back guarantee</strong> and find somebody else. But it seemed to have been a fluke and things have been been smooth. Plus I think they gave us a gift as compensation. Haha ha! Thanks for the visit Tim.

I swear, these people must have stock in paracetemol and hair-renewal products and be doing their bit to up sales worldwide. Just of interest Dave; where is it you rehosted? I have two seperate sites on the 3iX server and I'd rather not have to pay to host them both seperately, especially as I rarely ever touch one of them. I've seen some places that look good but don't offer the "housing sub-domains" thing that 3iX do. Cheers :) I agree with all of that.
