CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

quote Testimonial From 5xmom

5xmom (client since July 2005) : I want a reliable hosting which ensure that my sites run 24/7 without downtime… never compare webhosting packages based on the dollar amount. The main criteria is to find out if the company is reliable.


quote Testimonial From Paris B.

Paris B. (client since March 2007) : I presently have 3 hosting accounts with Ixiy.com which is saying a LOT about how much I trust them.
