Radix Hosting, the cheapest and the best web host around

RadixHosting is a web hosting company that launched in January, 2007 when four hosting companies – PixelHosting, ResellerPlanet, HostAgent and VelocityHost merged. I am using RadixHosting’s hosting package and I’m very much satisfied with them. I am yet to find a web host cheaper than RadixHosting. RadixHosting offers the following six hosting packages:

• RadixOne – 3GB Disk Space, 30 GB Transfer/mo, Actual price : $3/mo, Price after discount : $2.1/mo (for annual orders)
• RadixTwo – 6GB Disk Space, 60 GB Transfer/mo, Actual price : $6/mo, Price after discount : $4.2/mo (for annual orders)

10%, 20% and 30% discounts are offered for lifetime on quarterly, semi-annual and annual orders respectively on the actual price of all the above mentioned packages.

Getting a domain name from Radix will cost you $9.90/year and you can get RapidSSL certificates for $19.95/year. RadixHosting does not charge any setup fees and there are no hidden costs either.

I am using RadixOne package as my bandwidth requirement is very less. 30GB/mo is more than enough for me and I am paying $25.2/year to radix for that package. Yeah it’s cheap but they have not compromised on quality. Regarding the quality, RadixHosting mentions the following on their website:

In spite of the competitive price, the technical quality has never been compromised. We only use suppliers that can show a quality stamp and have reliable backup-systems. Servers, server rooms and bandwidth are monitored around the clock, 365 days a year. All servers are of the best quality with redundant power supplies and components. The systems are placed in a server room at SoftLayer, Dallas. This server room has redundant power circuits, battery backup, diesel generators and a Vesda (Very early Smoke Detection Alarm) alarm system. The backbone is fiber-based with a redundant infrastructure. Source: RadixHosting

Their customer support is great and they reply to the queries of their customers very fast. They also offer a lot of payment options. Customers can make payments via PayPal, MoneyBookers, e-Check and credit cards. Lately, they have told me that they are planning to add AlertPay soon.

So, if you are looking for a cheap and yet reliable web host which has a great customer support, RadixHosting is the one. Believe me and take these words from a satisfied customer of RadixHosting, you won’t be disappointed. Here’s the link if you want to buy hosting packages from them.
