IPower was the top web host for years, but lately lower priced competition has raised the bar faster than IPower has lowered its prices. Overall though, IPower does a great job and has awesome service which may make it worth the look for many web sites which may need fast, accurate service.
This review was based on IPower's Pro Plan. IPower has three shared web hosting plans - Starter, Pro, and Pro Plus. The Starter plan is only about $4 cheaper a year than the Pro plan, and you miss out on a lot of extras. It's only suitable for the smallest, personal sites. Pro Plus is best for very large sites.
IPower offers unlimited bandwidth, unlimited domain hosting, unlimited transfer, one free domain name, and free setup. IPower supports PHP, Perl, and MySQL support, allowing 25 databases (which is more than most sites need). IPower supports Frontpage extensions as well.
IPower was also one of the first hosts to include the VDeck control panel, which is a pretty smooth control panel - very easy to use.
The bottom line is IPower provides great service for most web sites. If you're looking for lesser known programming languages (Ruby, Python) or looking for Fantastico will need to look elsewhere though. Get hosting from iPower today! |
