Description - Services Provided
iPower.com has been a very good hosting provider. I use them and I have sent four clients to them for hosting. They provide 600GB for as low as $6.95/month, 2,500 POP3 email accounts, and all the other features one has come to expect from a hosting company. Very good web stats are provided, daily backups, and 24/7 tech support is also provided. Four years ago they were the cheapest provider with the most features I could find.
Other Comments
iPower.com's recent transition to the vDeck 3.0 platform has not gone well. I have one client who had an extensive PHP guest book and since the transition, the guest book does not work….at all! And I'm still waiting for tech support to fix it. Also, vDeck 3.0 does NOT provide any means to create a hit counter! That feature has been available in previous versions of vDeck and on cPanel for years. And again, their tech support has yet to fix that.
