About iPowerWeb:
The company is currently the world's leading web site hosting provider for small and medium sized enterprises. Hosting over 180,000 web sites worldwide, makes iPowerWeb the leader in this industry.
iPowerWeb's Shared Plan: Too good to be true?
iPowerWeb offers an amazing package deal at $7.95 per month. With this package you get 800 Megs (MB) of disk space, 400 e-mails, and 50 GB of transfer! At first glance this sounds a bit unbelievable, because if you do your shopping right, you will notice that there are very few web hosting companies that offer similar packages.
Fortunately I have discovered just how iPowerWeb offers such an amazing package at such a low price. If you do your research properly, you will notice that most web sites actually only use 1 to 2 MB of disk space. Having been a web developer for over five years, I have also noticed this with a number of my own sites. With iPowerWeb offering 800 MB of disk space, gives developers with small web sites room to expand, while not over charging them, and gives developers with larger web sites a great deal for their money.
Here are a few of the many features that you get with iPowerWeb's $7.95 per month package:
| - 800 MB Storage | - 400 POP3 E-Mail Accounts | - 40 GB Data Transfer | - MySQL | - Server Side Includes (SSI) | - CGI BIN and Library |
| - Account Control Panel | - FTP Access | - Browser Based E-Mail | - SSL Secure Server | - Anonymous FTP Accounts | - Content Providing |
| - FrontPage 2002 Extension | - Log Files | - PHP Support | - Autoresponder | - Unlimited Forwarding | - SGI Origin 200 Servers |
| - Password Protected Directories | - Multimedia Support | - 24/7 Network Monitoring | - Daily Tape Back ups | - CISCO Routers (BGP4 Protocol) | - Apache Web Server |
For a COMPLETE list of features that you get with iPowerWeb, click here.
If I'm only going to use 1 to 2 MB of disk space, why not go with a $2 host?
This is because the chances of you going with a $2 host and getting the same uptime, reliability, and support that iPowerWeb provides is hopeless! A quality service requires investment on your part, and fortunately iPowerWeb has been found to provide the greatest quality, at the most affordable price ($7.95 per month x 12 months = only $95.40 per year).

iPowerWeb Uptime and Support:
iPowerWeb has extensive server uptime and customer support:
- 99.9 % server uptime (you won't get any better than this)
- 24/7 customer support at support@ipowerweb.com
- 7 day e-mail support at support@ipowerweb.com
- 7 day telephone support at 1-888-511- HOST (4678)
- free marketing tools for your web site
- smooth transfer from another host (if you are currently with a host)
iPowerWeb's Money Back Guarantee:
Another distinguishing feature about iPowerWeb is that they provide customers with a 30 day money back guarantee. That's correct -- if for any reason you are not completely satisfied with iPowerWeb, you can cancel your account for a full refund within 30 days after you purchase an account. There aren't a lot of hosts that do this, so it goes to show you how confident iPowerWeb is in making sure that you will be satisfied with their offer.

iPowerWeb is the 3rd Fastest Growing Hosting Company Worldwide
iPowerWeb is proud to announce it ranks 3rd among the world's fastest growing hosting providers, according to Netcraft, an Internet services company. The Top 6 Hosting Provider survey is based on the percentage increase in Active Sites between April 2003 and October 2003. iPowerWeb has achieved 65.85% percent growth during that time period placing iPowerWeb in 3rd place.
"The pheonomal growth we achieved over the past six months can be directly attributed to the hard work of everyone here at iPowerWeb," said Thomas Gorny, CEO & President of iPowerWeb.
In August, NETCRAFT's monthly reliablity survey ranked iPowerWeb in the Top 5 of the "Most reliable and fastest hosting company sites." This is a major testiment to the strength of iPowerWeb's technology as many events occurred in August that adversely affected performance and reliability for many hosting companies. A few major events included Distributed Denial of Service Attacks, the Power Outage in the North East US and Canada, a much shorter outage in London, the Blaster Worm, the SoBig Virus, and a deluge of related mail from poorly written anti-virus programs. iPowerWeb ranked 3rd amount a handful of companies that recorded zero percent downtime during that month.
