Below is our review for Q9 Networks. It is
based on our ten plus years of experience reviewing Web Hosts and Host
Finders. It is based on our
proven test procedures,
and on our
reader's reviews. This review is also based on the feedback we get
from our reader's comments, and emails as well as from the our
interaction with the business and Web developer/design communities in
the numerous online forums. Much of this review was conducted by a
non-paid independent panel of experienced Web developers that are very
good at what they do. We know that all of that combined makes our review
process different from anyone else's in this industry, but to top it off
it is important for you to know that unlike other review sites, we
Purchase the Web Hosting services we review. That's right. The
absolute BEST way to review Web Host services is by actually using those
services and comparing them to other Web Host services that have been
similarly tested with the same testing criteria. We do these tests
using an anonymous account so the Web Hosts will not treat us any
differently than any other customer. Our process is expensive, but it is
what we do because we want to be the best, and we want you to have the
best information possible.

Here's a Tip for you: We have never accepted money to give a
company a better rating. Our reputation is more important than that.
However, even though the vast majority of the "top
10" review type sites you see in the search engines appear to be genuine, they
actually base their lists of "Top Hosting Companies" on the affiliate
rates (or other advertising revenue) they
receive from the companies they list. The Web Hosts they list may be
good but the rating method used is faulty.
In our opinion, you should NEVER trust those types of review and rating
sites.

Overview:
Q9 Networks, a Canadian based company, broke into the Web Hosting Industry in May of 2000. Their goal was simple, ensure the highest level of customer care and uptime possible.
When last we looked at Q9 Networks (December of 2005) our Independent Review Panel was impressed with the multiple connection redundancy, powerful network and outstanding support, very expensive. Q9 Networks still offering the same excellent services.
Q9 provides high-end Co-location and Managed Server solutions. Customization and redundancy are foremost on the minds of Q9 and it shows with multiple connections, powerful network paths, and variety of physical space options and custom server configurations.
Q9 isn't solely about the hardware. Q9 provides 24/7 monitoring and customer support. We found Q9's support staff to be efficient and knowledgeable.
Q9 is expensive, and in this case, you get what you pay for. The high price is definitely not for everyone, but the cost is justifiable for those who need the best. If you have modest needs Q9 probably isn't for you.
Pros:
Multiple Connections with amazing redundancy • Powerful Network Paths • 24/7 Technical Support
Cons:
Expensive • Higher price may not be for you
