iPowerWeb Hosting Review

iPower Web, with over 500,000 active members, has become one of the more dominant web hosting companies on the market today. iPowerWeb started in late 2001. Their all-in feature-rich offerings, combined with a huge ad campaign, propelled them to building an extremely large base of satisfied customers.

iPower Web's pricing is simple and offers users a great value for their dollar. They only have one Linux package, priced at $6.95 per month. This includes a complete web hosting package, with 1500 GB disk space and 15000 GB of bandwidth. A number of good features are provided, including MySQL, PHP and FrontPage support. For those looking for Windows hosting, iPowerWeb also provides an all-inclusive Windows package at an exceptional price of $8.95. Either way, you are getting great value in a secure environment.

Price Value
iPowerWeb has a clear pricing structure that offers users solid value. For just $6.95 a month, you receive the complete web hosting package described above, which includes everything one might expect from a premium web hosting account. Overall, $6.95 is an excellent price for the Linux package, and $8.95 for Windows hosting is also a great deal. Toll-free technical support also adds value.

Reliability
When compared to other web hosting companies, iPowerWeb hosting's servers perform well above the average. iPowerWeb possesses the best-of breed equipment and runs 4 state-of-the-art fully secure data centers with 24/7 monitoring, guards, closed circuit monitors and an alarm system.

Control Panel
iPower Web announced in June 2004 that it signed an exclusive contract with SWsoft, a developer of web hosting automation software, to provide Plesk 7 control panel to iPowerWeb's dedicated server customers. SWsoft introduced Plesk 7, the most recent version of its control panel application for managing Linux, Unix and Windows-based servers, in February 2005. SWsoft also offers Plesk Expand, an add-on to Plesk 7, which unifies web hosting environments with multiple servers running on varying platforms.

Customer Support
iPowerWeb had to play a little catch-up in the support department based on its fast growth, but this issues seems to be behind them; they now have a knowledgeable support team in place that can handle their huge base of customers. Support is offered by toll free telephone and live chat 24/7, along with e-mail - which has always been above average at iPower Web. They also offer an excellent "Start Center" with helpful tutorials.
