Host Buyer's Guide Unix/Linux Hosts
Our Host Buyer's Guide Reviews for Unix/Linux Hosts are based on a set of testing criteria specific to
our industry (see Host Review Criteria). Each full review includes our Review Score as determined by an experienced Independent Review Panel. We also include your Reader Reviews input and poll other important sources of Web Host industry information, especially the better Forums and discussion groups that are geared towards Web Hosting and Web Developers. We also take great stock in the Letters to the Editor we receive from you. Added to that, we read each and every comment that our readers make on these pages.
For more information about our Review process see:

Important Tip
It is important to know that in almost every case we purchase the Web Hosting services we review through a blind account (that is, the Web Host does not know we are testing them so they cannot make our Web Hosting services better than someone elses) and we maintain the Web Host account long enough to monitor all the criteria we need to test, and then continue that Hosting account until we are satisfied that our results are accurate.
The only reason we would not buy the Web Hosting services we test is because we have access to the services through a third party, and can test the services in our same, methodical and unbiased manner.

Review This Web Host

Verdict: Lexiconn has strong network and very good support. They have been in the hosting business for a long time, which translates to business stability. However, their hosting solutions also seem to have been around for a long time. Though these plans would have been very competitive a year or two ago, they do not have the same amount of Web space and bandwidth to compete with some plans other Unix Hosts offer. If you are look for a solid-performing Host and you have modest needs, check out Lexiconn.

Review This Web Host
|
Verdict: Avid Hosting used to be an excellent Web Hosting company that we could recommend to our readers. Avid Hosting has several negatives that can be fixed, but perhaps not too easily. In our opinion, they need to work on their support (poor response times) and their Netword (poor uptimes). They may also want to finish their Web site so their links work.
