😠 I have been a loyal customer of HostFast Group, support-billing.com, and 3ix.org for almost 18 years, but to be honest, the services have deteriorated so much over the last 5 years that it is no longer possible to stay with this company. Due to complete dysfunctionality, I was forced to move all my domains to another provider. On average, the servers were up less than 30% of the time, which is an absolutely unusable service for a company that wants to present its services on the Internet. The advertised 98% availability from 3ix.org is a completely unrealistic utopia that has never been fulfilled. On average, the website worked less than 30% of the time, with hourly outages every day. Every day, I had to complain about these outages, exceeding access limits due to zero protection against bots, etc. Nothing works, absolutely nothing. Website protection doesn't work, a billion spam messages, daily outages, the website didn't work most of the day, and this happened every day. Absolute [read more...]

I don't know whay it have poor recensions.
Maybe for professional sites you'll need an upgrade but hostfast it's the cheapest webhosting service with all the things you need to run a website starting with a basic plan

(3*) 🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain Registration
3iX Networks, founded in the early 2000s, gained recognition as a low-cost hosting provider with a simple promise: no hidden fees, stable uptime, and accessible support. For years, they attracted thousands of customers worldwide with their shared hosting packages, domain registration, and basic web services. Though operating under the 3iX brand for a long time, by 2023 the company began trading under HostFast.com, leaving the older 3iX.org website online but without SSL support.

Hosting Services

3iX specialized in shared Linux hosting with budget-friendly plans aimed at individuals, small businesses, and resellers. Their packages typically included:

cPanel hosting with Fantastico Auto Installer for over 50 scripts.
Free ClickBe! Sitebuilder for customers without coding knowledge.
No contracts or setup fees, making it easy to try their services risk-free.
Reseller options via WebHost Manager, giving users the chance to launch their own small-scale hosting business.

While not a full-scale provider of VPS or dedicated servers, 3iX focused on keeping their shared hosting stable, fast, and inexpensive.

Infrastructure & Data Centers

Operations were based in a Texas, USA data center, supported by a robust and redundant network:

Connectivity: Six managed backbone providers and twelve third-party carriers, ensuring strong routing and failover capabilities.
Hardware: Juniper M20 routers for border routing, Cisco 6500 distribution switches, and Cisco 3500/2900 switches at the customer level.
Power & Cooling: Liebert and PowerWare UPS systems, permanent generator backup, redundant HVAC units, and fire suppression with VESDA.
Security: 24/7 monitoring, guards on-site, video surveillance, and anti-static environments.
Monitoring: Datatrax system for power and HVAC, along with IPAlert for quick response.

This setup allowed them to confidently advertise a 99.9% uptime guarantee, which was central to their service-level commitment.

Support & Guarantees

Customer service was always one of 3iX’s strongest points. They emphasized personal responses, not just ticket automation. Key commitments included:

24/7 support by phone, email, and ticket system, with response times usually under 6 hours (often under 2).
30-day money-back guarantee, with no contracts or hidden penalties. Refunds excluded domains and custom services but were straightforward for hosting accounts.
A strict no-spam, no upsell policy, maintaining customer trust.

Transition to HostFast

As of 2023, 3iX transitioned its business to HostFast.com, effectively modernizing its brand and infrastructure. The old 3iX.org site was left online, though its lack of SSL suggested it was no longer actively managed. HostFast now carries forward the same principles—affordable shared hosting, uptime guarantees, and quick support—but under a fresher identity.

🎯 Conclusion

3iX Networks built a reputation as a budget hosting provider with transparent policies, solid U.S. infrastructure, and responsive support. Their strengths were reliability at a low cost and a genuine effort to resolve customer issues quickly. The transition to HostFast reflects an attempt to stay relevant in a competitive hosting market. However, the lack of updates on the old 3iX website and the absence of advanced services like VPS or cloud hosting meant that more demanding businesses often looked elsewhere. For small projects and personal websites, though, 3iX—and now HostFast—remains a reasonable low-cost option.

Its hard to trust morons who can't write or speak English and sound like 12-year olds on their parent's computer. I can only surmise they are 3ix competitors.

I have been using 3ix for several of my domains for years and they are top notch in service and value. If you don't know your way around the net and how to maintain your own website, don't blame the provider for your ignorance.

Hi to all who looking for cheap host.I am with 3ix.org for about more than 6 month and many times my site site was offline but they offer an fast suport to resolve it.Think twice before you buy an cheap host, because many times (about 1 or 2 time /day maybe your site will be offline for couple minutes or half hour or more )you.I am still with them till my traffic grow up and then I will find another hosting if they continues to offer an service like this.So if you are beginer you can chose them, but if you are a lot of trafic I recomand you to find another one.By the way my site is onlinetopgames.net an site with online games and tv cartoons; for see how many times my site is offline, you can visit them more than once per day to view the real true, like that you will see how many times an site hosted by 3ix.org is offline.

😠 Terrible, dishonest, lame service.
I am a web developer and I recommended 3iX to customers who were looking for very inexpensive hosting, as $1 per month is indeed not much. However, recently my client asked to do a more complicated site also using SSL security. I had some issues and tried to resolve them with tech support - which was real pain. Very slow responses, bad English (probably outsourced service), and very little of actual help.
Trying to resolve my problems I noticed that 3iX recently made some changes, which made me confused - many web sites, different company names, really a labyrinth of channels to navigate through. Their main (outdated looking) page is 3iX.org. then you get redirected to support-billing.com then you get to fast-host.com to deal with support, yet your site is hosted yet somewhere else, and cPanel just hangs in cyberspace between all of it. Not very convenient and kind of fishy. But real problems started when I tried to setup SSL security. After many back-and-forth, support told me [read more...]

Very disappointed, I have been using their hosting more than 5 years, they withdrwal a yearly service fee from my Paypal one month before due date, I asked to cancel the service one month before due date, the 3iX cancelled my service without refund my money back of the yearly fee advance payment.

😞 Avoid 3ix forever
I recommend everybody seeking for a reliable webhosting provider, please AVOID 3ix forever.

Their hosting works like this: up (a few hours), down (whole day), up (a few hours), down (whole day)...

Firstly, I thought the above scenario only relates to 1 $ hosting plan, so I decided to try the more expensive for 3 $ per month. The only difference from the cheapest plan is improved CPanel.

If you really appreciate your money, do not pay this company a cent.

😠 3ix STAY CLEAR AWAY FROM THIS CLOWNS!
Now you cant even talk to them via Chat anymore. This hosting company has so many problems that they dont allow you to talk live online with any support person unless you buy the most epensive package they have.

3ix webhosting services are a COMPLETE JOKE. FTP is always down, SSL certificates get deactivated, you cant even backup your own site without it going down. Yes, if you try to back up your own site, they will purposely disconnect your site for about 15 minutes.

For the 15th time since July 15th, our FTP has been down. Their support will give you lame ass excuses and make up BS reasons. The only reason why they are so cheap is thats the only way they can con new customers is price.

I have hosted a website via 3ix for 5 years and couldn't wait to get away from then in the end. The service is intermittent and I was forever finding the site down and having to spend lots of time on the live chat. Now I repurchased the url only and want to transfer it to another company but have found without a hosting package it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to contact them and when i do get hold of someone via livechat they refuse to change the ips tag and repeatedly cut me off. All their email addresses return as undelivered and without a plan i am barred from contacting any department but sales or billing. For days their live chat doesn't work at all and their UK tel no doesn't work. Even their USA tel number doesn;t alow you to talk to anyone unless you have a special code. They are a JOKE! half the live chat are obviosly non-english and they give you different answers to the same questions every time.

😠 Bad to the bone
I never believed online review, but with 3ix proven over and over again that they fail to do their job. I draw the line when my site is hacked, and the reply is "we restarted the firewall and you won't face this problem anymore" Guess what, it still got hacked after less than 3 days. With all the password change it didn't make much difference. 3 days to crack 10 digit combination of alpha numeric and symbol? I doubt that is the point of entry. Downtime are ignored most of the time if no complains are made. Apparently they only have the "firewall to blame every time something goes wrong". I found a cheaper and more secure hosting company.

😁 ive been using 3ix now for nearly 2 years and ive got to say that i was a little bit worried before i first signed up because i had read a couple of bad reviews, but as with a lot of things like this due to the price i decided to give it a go and i am so glad i did - everything i needed at a very cheep price! ive had no issues to speak of and ive had close to 100% up time while ive been with them, there was one time when my site was down for 4 hours while they upgraded my server which was done in the middle of the night so i cant really moan about that! the only time i have used their live chat help was at the begining when i was having problems loading up my site, this was my second web site but someone else set up the first one for me so i was unsure of how to do everything, the lady i spoke to was a great help. ive got nothing bad to say about 3ix as hosts and do regularly recommend them to my friends

😃 Guys, you get what you pay for. Is there any other hosting that's cheaper than 3iX? No.

Nonone, goes and buy a Honda Accord and expect it to perform like a Ferrari.

So here's my review. I've been with them for a good few years, and I like them -- but only for their pricing.

Features: Average, cos I don't even utilise most of them. I set up using fantastico, and then my sites auto-run. Nothin fancy, so just a decent rating here. But they do provide fantastico with numerous stuffs. This I like.

Downtimes: Yes, unlike other hosts that I'm with, 3iX suffered has more downtimes than I would have liked, but thankfully, I was smart enough to only place my low-traffic websites with them. But which webhost has never suffered down time before? Nevertheless, I'd give them a poor rating on server uptime.

Pricing: Wonderful. $1 per month. Hah! No reasons to be using xxx.blogspot.com or xxx.wordpress.com eh? Unfortunately, it's the only best thing with 3iX -- but I'm not [read more...]

Not only did they not have a recent backup, but there was a 24-hour outage for my sites. What on earth am I paying them for?

😃 I must say, I have had a few server downtimes in the few years I've been with 3ix - but on the whole it hasn't been that bad. Any approach to live support resolves the problem. My site http://www.spankingallery.com has been up for about 6 months now with 2 downtimes caused by IP lockout - that has since been fixed.

In closing you get what you pay for, for the cost a few errors are expected. They are not the best, but I'll still use them for now...

😠 3ix.org is one of the worst web host i've came across. They suspend account without warning and it was offline for months ( i was away). When I asked why, they said the site was causing more than 10% load on server so it was suspended. My site is basic static html/image with no script. When I asked for log file, they send me bogus log which has no IP indication or is related to my website. When i asked why I wasn't informed, they said they did send me email, but when i asked them to forward a copy with full header, they wouldn't. Later admitted that they never send the email. Their support LIE, and are untrustworthy to work with. They are willing to make up information just to pass by. Please, do yourself a favor, don't host here, it isn't worth the trouble. warn others! It is cheap, and you get cheap service in return.

😠 Ever since I have hosted my site at 3IX, I'm seeing poor connection to the server. I have aided the support department on the debugging. Every time they response, they repeat debugging request for me without looking back at the history.

It doesn't make sense for me to own something which I can't have 99.9% access to. Hence I've request them to honor their 30 days money back guarantee.

I have made 5 request for them to HONOR THEIR 30 DAYS MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. Till date, no such commit from them. I will feedback in this forum if they do so. Hopefully people will make a better decision before deciding to host site with them.

Admittedly we have some problems from time to time, so I could not recommend it for a 100% uptime critical application.
For the money it's -so far- worth it and the chat operators help you sort out things (unless something really weird has taken place and they can't). Other hosts do not have chat and you have to wait hours for assistance by email.

😠 I have never come across such an appalling company in my life on the nett! I have 2 sites and they were down on a daily basis! I contacted their 24 hr support and the level of English was a joke! I had to question this persons ability to understand as I had no idea what he was writing but then received lots of sarcasm. By the way I write English educational books! This wasn't typos but grammar! Where are these people as I noticed they have a telephone number in Thailand!

My question is: I have seen so many complaints and wonder how they could be served a lawsuit? They quite simply do not honor their contracts and should be shut down .... full stop!

😃 The 3ixis a mediocre hosting company. Although when one thinks about what they charge then what you pay is what you get. There are uptime problems, but so far i have not seen any dns spam/hack problems and when i had to use the live chat i had my problem resolved.

😠 Bad. Bad. Bad.
Every month we have some issues with them. At the beggining it was ok as the Live Chat ppl could help pretty fast. But recently they say "please contact our support techs via this form". And then it takes AGES for them to fix the problem.
It may be good if you want to host your website with pictures, etc.
If you are a business owner go for something better (more expensive) as 3iX will lose you some clients otherwise!!

😠 3ix must be the worst hosting company in the world I went with them 6 months ago and straight away had major connection problems, tried to ring them, answer machine “leave your telephone number and name and well get back to you. Never ever did. Tried live chat most of the operators do not know what they are doing (told me they could see my site at their end) took me 2 days to get hold of someone that did and was told they had to reset the something or other. This happened quite a number of times with loss of service for hours. Monday I lost both my site and email contacted 3ix by live chat told it would be up and running within 2/3 hrs. Since then its not been working, that’s 3days now with without service and being fed excuses from it’s a virus, changing the server, it running but its got to perpetrates the internet, again 3 hrs and still not working here is the chat from 3ix when I tried to get them to change server tonight

😃 After reading Manish's note about DNS subdomain spam/malware, I checked with 3ix 24hr tech service. They responded in under 1 minute, and took less than 5 minutes to verify the issue.

24x7Help: What happened is known as DNS Hacking that isn't a usual way of hacking/spoofing. This method is based on a vulnerability on DNS Protocol. We have taken measures on our server. Actually not all domains on server had this problem. There were only few and we fixed them already.

Manish (irajiv2001@y...)

😠 I am hosting two websites with hosting company - 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 advertisements 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 [read more...]

😠 I used 3ix and I was disappointed with their unprofessional behavior and low security. That is why I changed my web hosting provider.

😃 I just set up my website and am thrilled with the results. When I did have a problem, I used their live chat, and they were very helpful in helping me troubleshoot. www.jasonkadinger.com I only have a basic understanding of ftp. and was able to put it together for the $1 mo. excite plan - you'd have a hard time finding web hosting for less than $20 a year!

AON (aon_Raza@h...)

😠 DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Worst support ever. Not to mention they will suspend without notice and delete your data. You would have to be the a major idiot to go with them.

Mark (watchinuwatch@y...)

😠 Horrible! The worst I have ever experienced. If you register a domain there is NO CONTROL through the admin utility. Although there is a domain admin utility, it doesn't do anything. The support will tell you that it doesn't work through the admin. You need to talk via live chat to update your nameservers. And they say they do it but never do. For one domain, I had a tech rep give me an auth code without verifying my information!!! If you want to get robbed or cheated I highly recommend this place for you.

😁 Been with them for years and never had a serious problem, that was not my own fault. Must admit that this is not for the novices that end up complaining because they are lost. This is a no frills service that is excellent for the price.

sanjay (sanjaykattimani@h...)

😃 They are definitely one of the most cost effective hosting providers. Support isnt difficult to get. Site has good speed. There is only one limitation with them that i faced. You are not allowed to send more than 150 mails in an hour.

KOVACS, Istvan (kovacs.it@g...)

😠 Signed up for the Excel plan ($44/year, 5 GB storage, cPanel, ClickBe, Fantastico, etc.) They were nice and responsive prior to my purchase.
Trouble started right after signing up: ClickBe didn't work. Asked them to fix it. They made a number of attempts, and did not get it to work most of the time. They downgraded my subscription to Excite level in the process and lost my two mailing lists. I then told them I wanted a refund (they offer a 30-day refund) and stated my reasons. According to support, I have an open ticket with admins regarding the refund, but they did not get back to me in this matter in the past 5 days. The story is documented here (still hosted by them :-)

Why I rated their pricing as 1 out of 5: they are cheap, but given that they did not deliver anything, the price is not right...

😃 Fantastic Support! I'm paying 3iX one dollar a month for my web hosting, amazing! John Eastman in the 3iX Support Center spent a lot of time helping me, I'm quite new to the internet :) thanks John!
