Web Hosting Columns

Being new in the webhosting world can be an advantage. But for Ultra Quantix host, it is a lot more than being new. To them it is more about getting right the first time. Let’s explore the extent to which Ultra Quantix.com may have - or might not have got it right.

The Security Question

All webmasters need a secure environment where their data is protected especially when hosting sensitive or valuable information. This is a green zone for UltraQuantix.com. They got the security question right on the dot. They collocated their servers to SoftLayer.

SoftLayer is as safe as secured can get, when it comes to webhosting. And this is a positive for webmasters who understands the value of security. But Ultra Quantix takes it one step further, they have made security a priority. Even in their advertising security shots out: “We might not be the rock bottom cheapest, but, we’re rock solid!”.

The Price Is Right

Using “unlimited bandwidth” as the catch, Ultra Quantix promotes a $4.95 hosting package with more space than you need for a personal account. But although some people may believe it is an okay price, the worldwide web is full of $2 offers.

Ultra Quantix gives away everything else in unlimited quantities – unlimited domains, and even unlimited space for just a few dollars more.

Aggressive Advertising

A search for Ultra Quantix on Yahoo! And Google returned mostly advertised links and forum posting with signature links. An indication that they are planning to be competitive. And even stay around for awhile. Some hosting reviews have allowed the website to advertise on their pages. A naïve or unpopular step that could undermine them should Ultra Quantix turns out to be a poor provider.

Rated #1 Linux Hosting

The Web Host Directory has been around for over 10 years now. It puzzles me therefore to see them pinning an award on Ultra Quantix. Not only that but, they rated them as the #1 linux hosts! It is wrong for a great directory as this to mislead the public this much. Not for a hosting service with less than three months in business.

Careful analysis finds it odd that they have no reviews. We got timely response from emails at the supports desk, but are not sure how the hosting experience really adds up. Without being unfair, we will advise caution in using Ultra Quantix.

We will start them at 1 star and upgrade them over time.
