I wrote on my website a checklist that can help to detect hosting providers you have to avoid. For instance, when the hosting provider aggressively promotes its affiliates programme and when this programme is very rewarding, this may indicate this hosting provider has a high customer turnover rate. So, many customers are leaving the hosting provider because of the poor service. Hence, the hosting provider is spending a lot on its affiliates programme to compensate all these lost customers. In contrast, hosting providers which provide a good customer service will have a (much) lower customer turnover rate and will not need to acquire new customers as aggressively as bad hosters.

So, in theory their employees can access information on websites hosted with them (possibly credit card details) and IXHosting will not give any assurances that this information wont be misused ! – not good !!
