3ix.org Review

24 April 2008 6 Comments

Today I was bored and decided to do an interview to one of 3ix’s representatives, as some of you know, 3ix offers very really cheap hosting, as low as $1 dollar.
Here is how the interview went.

Chat InformationPlease wait for an operator to respond.

Chat InformationYou are now connected.

Help24×7: Welcome to 3iX live chat, my name is Eric, please hold for a moment, I am reviewing your question.

Help24×7: yes, we have unlimites hosting

Help24×7: unlimited*

germz: So if Google.com were to move to your hosting you’d support it?

Help24×7: What is your domain/site name?

germz: Let’s say google.com, would you be able to support all that bandwidth?

germz: Or say digitalpoint.com

germz: Or digg.com

germz: Because i’ve read a lot of reviews that say that you guys freeze all accounts that use too much bandwidth

Help24×7: yes, it is correct

germz: You freeze people for too much bandwidth?

germz: If so, then why does it say “Unlimited”?

Help24×7: we have shared server environment if any account causes load on the server then we take a action

germz: So it’s a lie?

germz: Why don’t you just have that in the “buy hosting section”? Because it would really suck to waste $8 dollars a month to get very little hosting when there are other hosting companies such as hostgator that offer hosting for less… sory If I’m being too blunt, I’m doing this for an interview.

Help24×7: this is our policy

Help24×7: we have shared server environment if any account causes load on the server then we take a action

germz: Ok thank you very much. I’ll be sure to publish this.

I’ve had problems with this company many times.
I also had a problem when I first got this website, I installed SMF (Simple Machines Forum) and the server didn’t support a certain type of file, so I had to be moved to another server, that server cause WAY too many problems, like slow loading of my site, and then I asked to be moved to a new server, when that happened I finally got a little more spee and then this website went down various times and they fix it and then the problem came back again, finally I had to write a very rude letter to them to finally have them fix it, and now the problem is gone.

What I do l like about the site is that they have an excellent customer support service, but that’s not so great if they won’t do anything about it Unless you send rude letters to them. I had to talk to customer service for about 3 weeks 4 times a day just to get them to fix my site, and The answer that I would get all the time was “It’s your browser or ISP”…. but I had readers mailing me that the site was down.

So you be the judge, will it be just to waste 8 dollars a month and risk getting frozen? Or is it better to go to hostgator.com and get their much better hosting plan?

I used 3ix hosting but I have met two disappointments. First of them was that somebody broke into my web site and uploaded there some viagra shits and a virus, and second was that they are telling private things like EPP code in their chat and unblock domain for transfer without having any proof that they are really talking with the domain owner. Very unprofessional.

I am hosting two websites with hosting comapny - http://www.3ix.org

They provide hosting for as low as $1 per month and this was the reason I thought to host with them just like thousands of other users who have hosted with them.

I was stunned to see that my domains hosted with them has doorway subdomains with adverisements and malware.

I checked my cpanel and amazingly there were actually no sub domains in cpanel.

Those subdomains were actually created secretly through DNS entries by 3ix.org so that they can serve advertisements and malwares without being caught by

HOSTING USERS.

So I did a Reverse DNS lookup and found that all domains hosted by them are suffering from the same issue.

They are cheating their users and now all the sites hosted with them are in danger as this will be considered as spam by Search engines and all sites can be

banned anytime.

I would strictly advice to stay away from this web hosting company.

Their nameservers are
XX.host-care.com
XX.host-care.com

eg
Name Server:NS5.HOST-CARE.COM
Name Server:NS6.HOST-CARE.COM

There is no response from them even after 48 hrs I submitted support ticket with them.

You can check those subdomains spam through these Google links for different domains hosted by them:
