Beware of NIX Solutions Ltd.
NIX Solutions Ltd. is a web development
company operating out of Kharkov, Ukraine that is owned by an Israeli shell
company called United Softhouse Ltd. They operate websites www.nixsolutions.com and www.unitedsofthouse.com and offer their services on third party web development escrow sites such as www.elance.com (now called www.upwork.com). These rogue companies, their owners,
and their employees have scammed a former client out of millions of dollars. A
short list of things that you can expect from NIX Solutions should you be
so unfortunate to hire them: Inefficient development, Defective development,
Illegal activity (NIX Solutions doesn't abide by laws in their own country by being involved in the development of a hardcore explicit pornographic website; we encourage Ukraine authorities to investigate NIX Solutions on this matter), Being ignored by top management (it'll take
a year for them to respond to you), Unqualified non-expert developers (when your
project requires experts), Copyright and Trademark infringement (they'll use
your intellectual property for their own commercial gain), Poor support (your
project will be offline for days without being addressed), Sloppiness (they'll
inadvertently alter your sites robot.txt file so that it gets de-listed from all
search engines), and thousands of hours of site downtime and inexplicable slow site speeds.
NIX Solutions will destroy your business while telling you that it is a
tremendous success despite all metrics pointing to the opposite. Our advice is
to say far away from NIX Solutions Ltd. and all the companies and parties associated
with them below.

The following are the address for NIX SOLUTIONS LTD. and associated companies: NIX Solutions Ltd. (New Address) NIX SOLUTIONS LTD. United Softhouse United Softhouse (the company's second address) (Update January 10, 2019): Bogus Copyright Claim: The Nix Solutions Ltd. saga continues, now with a bogus DMCA claim from Viktor Shalnyev sent to us on January 9th. We've submitted our counter claim.
(Update December 20, 2018): Infringement: On November 24th I was made aware of Nix Solutions Ltd. attempting to piggyback on this website by copying it but substituting several key words. I lodged a DMCA Notice complaint with their domain registrar, and they have since removed the infringing content. A screenshot of the resolution is located here. After all these years, it appears that Nix Solutions Ltd. will stop at nothing to discredit themselves.
(Update July 13, 2016): Hacking attempt: On April 13th I went to www.nixsolutions-sucks.com and noticed that the site had disappeared. In its place was an image with text that appears to be Russian or Ukrainian. I immediately contact the hosting company for this website and they were unable to confirm how the site had changed and suggested that it may have been hacked but that they do not know by whom nor how it was hacked. Since then, they have moved this website to a newer secure server and passwords have been updated.
Was Nix Solutions staff behind this hack or was it purely a coincidence that the hackers left an image in what appears to be Russian writing? Whom other than Nix Solutions would want to take this site down? Interestingly, on the same day that the site was taken down, several posts on forums on the internet where I've criticized Nix Solutions were suddenly responded to by Nix Solutions (these posts are several years old). Perhaps Nix Solutions believed I had abandoned this site so they took it down and were attempting to clean up their image on internet forums simultaneously. It's all very strange and makes one wonder to what lengths Nix Solutions may go to try and silence their critics.
I wish to let Nix Solutions know that this site will remain online indefinitely. Nix Solutions has never attempted to make good on the failures of their services that compromised my busines and this latest incident suggests they're still far from trying to make amends.

(Update October 22, 2014): Justice has prevailed. The WIPO decision allows us to continue airing NIX Solutions' dirty laundry.
(Update September 28, 2014): NIX Solutions' team of lawyers emailed a supplemental filing to WIPO rehashing the same arguments that the original response already debunked. Nonetheless, we've submitted a supplemental response elaborating on the fact that NIX Solutions Ltd. is an English-language based ecommerce company targeting English language based companies and individuals almost exclusively. We've also noted that NIX Solutions has no problems with other international companies utilizing "NIX" in their domain name, including a commercial website operating within the same industry as NIX Soluions Ltd. You can read the supplement to the complaint here and the supplement to the response here.
(Update September 23, 2014): Proceedings have commenced. In the spirit of full transparency, you can view the NIX Solution Ltd. complaint here and the response here.
(Update August 30, 2014): In an attempt to censor ex-client criticism and greivances, NIXSolutions Ltd. had their lawyers initiate arbitration to cancel our website's domain. Rather than address the complaint and the mountain of evidence supporting it, they want to silence us. This action is further support of our review on NIX Solutions Ltd.
