Hosting Plans:

How many times have you heard the expression size doesnt matter? Well lets get serious here for a moment, of course it matters, and when it comes to web hosting, either you are providing a service people will use, or a service that people will purchase because they dont know any better. IPOWERWEB offers both of these scenarios in their Ready Site and their Pro Plan.

Ready Site appears to be designed for the nave or at least the ill-informed. At an introductory 3-month price of $8.95 plus a $10.00 setup fee, you really could find a better plan from most hosts if all you are looking at are comparison charts. Leaving customer support and infrastructure out of it, this plan is probably not for you. Although you get a decent five gigs of web space and 250 gigs of monthly transfer, you are only allowed one domain, one MySQL database, and one email address. You will not have any FTP accounts, no file manager and the web site creator will limit you to 9 pages. Since the typical web site owner could never use a full 5 GB of space using only nine web pages, we dont fully understand the point of this plan.

IPOWERWEBs Pro Plan is what you really want, giving you gobs of options for only $3.00 more than the previous plan. Start your day with unlimited options in fact: web space, monthly data transfer and total domains all unlimited. Add ftp accounts and even ShopSite Shopping carts with a 15 product limit! You could also choose the Agora Shopping Cart, OS Commerce Shopping Cart or PayPal Shopping Cart Integration. Jump yourself up to 2,500 email accounts and enjoy other premium options like WordPress or Online Chat. THIS is the hosting account you want and need, unless you are demanding an actual full-scale online store.

Site & Store is the plan you want when online shopping is the necessity. If you are selling your wares online, this is a plan that can help you make it look easy. Along with your free domain name and unlimited MySQL databases, you will also enjoy a premium web site creator with no limit on pages, and 220 template options! Stock and distribute from your store now with shipping capabilities and take advantage of bulk product uploading tools. Yes, if you are looking to make a dime with your web site by selling actual products, this is the plan you should pick from IPOWERWEB. You will pay a higher premium at $16.95 a month, but there is no setup fee if signing up for one or two years, plus you get a free domain registration AND all the store tools you can dream of.

Technical and Customer Support:

If you are like us, and we pray that you are, because we rock, then you like getting answers to baffling questions FAST. The first thing we do when we encounter a difficult situation with our host or server is hop onto the online chat and IPOWERWEB has that!

Not only can you speak with a human quickly online without having to dial a phone in the dark, but you COULD actually DIAL THOSE NUMBERS and speak to that human Johnny-on-the-spot. The live 24/7 promise is there and will take care of you the way you like to be treated.

The feature we LOVE from IPOWERWEB is the main Support page at the web site. Important System Notices show you exactly what is happening right now and what the status is in the datacenters. Of course its nice to never see anything in this list, but its also nice to see that there are issues that arise in every business, and IPOWERWEB doesnt sweep them under the rug. The Support page is a perfect place to go when you experience any difficulty. It can save you time or a headache from the stress that might accompany your issue.

The Support page is also an excellent portal to the Knowledgebase, Tutorials, and FAQ. There is no shortage of information with these guys.

Features:

Unlike their competition, you wont find the CPanel control panel giving you auto-scripts and a bunch of potentially useless data. You will however find the powerful tools you probably WILL use such as WordPress, and shopping carts.

Your value added features with IPOWERWEB come in the form of support and their top of the line data center. If you are hosting, or having your own server hosted by someone wed suggest no one before suggesting the infrastructure at IPOWERWEB. Redundant power supplies, network infrastructure and top tier internet connection are exactly what youd expect. What you might not expect would be the two identical datacenters built to take on World War Three.
