Nexx Web hosting is offers a decent sized plan with unlimited domains, 24/7 support via email ticket and phone, all for a reasonable price. Nexx is a fairly well known company, and makes the top ten of at least one other review site. I found them to be a really good host, but the space and bandwidth they offer for the cost isn’t quite as good as my Top Two hosts. Still, I only have a few problems with Nexx Hosting, and they basically all relate to value for your money. Here they are;

1. They only offer one plan, and you only get 300 GB of space and 3,000 GB of bandwidth for $7.95 a month
2. They advertise their price as a “special 20% off” deal, compared to what they say is their regular price of $9.95 a month
3. You get only a basic scripts package (although it should be sufficient for most people), and they don’t offer an online Site Builder
4. Although their support isn’t a real issue (most support emails are responded to within 4 hours, 90% within 8 hours), there is no support response time guarantee
5. No uptime guarantee is listed on the web site

Nexx Hosting’s main claim to fame is that they offer both Linux and Windows hosting available on the same account. To me, this isn’t a big deal, since I feel that the Linux platform is more stable, and definitely the best choice for most users. Still, if you require Windows hosting for some of your applications, or for an already built web site, Nexx offers Windows hosting for an unbeatable price. Most web hosts only offer your choice of one or the other, and Windows hosting is usually a more expensive option. Since Nexx 24/7 support, offers a free domain name and unlimited domain hosting, and has a 30 day money back guarantee, they would be my first pick if I needed or really wanted Windows hosting. Here are the basics of the Nexx hosting plan;

• Free domain name for life with hosting purchase
• Additional domain names are only $7.95 to $9.95 a year (check for special)
• Unlimited domains hosted, up to your space limitations
• 300 GB of space
• 3,000 GB of bandwidth per month
• 24/7 ticket and phone support
• No support response guarantee, but says 4-8 hour response for 90% of tickets
• Online help database
• No uptime guarantee listed
• 1,000 email accounts, up to the 300 GB combined space limit
• MySQL databases available - no number or limit listed
• No online Site Builder (you’ll have to get your own software to build your website)
• Basic scripts package (Wordpress, Joomla, picture gallery, forums, etc.) included. )
• E-commerce shopping cart included
• Free shared SSL server
• Free WHOIS privacy
• Linux and Windows hosting available on same account
• No advertising or SEO bonuses
• Cost - $95.40 a year ($7.95 a month) for a one year contract.

Basically, Nexx hosting is a good plan for a decent price, but it doesn’t include some of the extras, like an online Site Builder, a wide assortment of one click scripts, and advertising bonuses, that I’ve found to be extremely useful in setting up and promoting a web site. If you need Windows hosting, however, they would be my first choice. Otherwise, especially if you’re a real newbie at building a web site, one of my Top Two Hosts would be a better choice. They both offer Linux hosting, and give you more space and bonuses for the same (or less) money. Click this link to find out more about Nexx Web Hosting.
