iXiun was founded by husband and wife Joss and Theresa Malasuk in March of 2026 in Wisconsin. However, their history together creating and hosting websites dates back roughly 15 years before founding. In fact, they previously ran a similar business, “Dedicated Web Management,” between 2010 and 2014, building websites and hosting for small businesses. “DWM” built a handful of websites and even continues to host some of those same customers to this day, now under iXiun.
As life progressed, the primary application developer (Joss) moved into infrastructure engineering and took on fewer development projects, so the business stopped taking on new clients. Personal project development continued, however, on the same hosting infrastructure used for customers. As time passed, some clients’ businesses folded, some retired, and a few are still being hosted and managed as before.
In 2024, Theresa began her education in web and software development. Building beautiful websites became a creative outlet she excelled at. Together, they decided not only to begin taking on additional clients, but also to release original web applications and software.
iXiun as a brand name is technical but semi-ambiguous, this is an intentional decision. Over the years we have developed a number of applications that we will be launching and managing under iXiun. Operating software as a service (SaaS) is a complicated venture requiring development and infrastructure engineering practices that rival those of literal tech giants. The infrastructure we’ve built to manage our own SaaS is now being used to lift small and mid-sized businesses in our area, giving them the same capabilities we’ve built for ourselves.
At iXiun, we are not reselling hosting services from a larger host, which is common in this space. We are not limited to only the technologies supported by any control panel. We have built our systems on infrastructure we have complete control over. We keep costs low by leveraging open source software and developing in-house when necessary, and we pass those savings on to our clients.
The future is exciting for iXiun. With the rapid pace of innovation in the field, we look forward to building and releasing web applications for our friends, neighbors, and ourselves on a flexible and reliable platform.
