The Good

  • Price – iPowerWeb has always been conscious about how their prices compare with other webhosting companies in the market. This has enabled them to offer the lowest priced plans and services without sacrificing the quality of their services. A quick survey of the top webhosting providers showed iPowerWeb’s services to be the cheapest.
  • Reliability – Unlike some webhosting companies, iPowerWeb has its own datacenters which are maintained by IT professionals round the clock. This has helped them maintain a verified 99.9 percent uptime.
  • Control Panel – iPowerWeb has since moved away from the CPanel 5, it now offers its own control panel known as Vdeck. This is a great improvement over the older software and enables users to create and maintain their websites more conveniently.


The Bad
iPowerWeb has improved by strides since we last visited their technical support service. These problems could best be described as growing pains as their support services seemed to be unable to cope with their growing number of clients. A few hiccups could be encountered along the way with some customers still complaining about the speed of how their issues are being addressed.

Analysis
iPowerWeb has become one of the more popular webhosting companies in the market today. They offer a wide range of plans to power beginners with simple websites to professionals and small business looking to expand their reach globally. While services have improved this changes has not reflected in the prices they charge their customers.
