More Reasons to Avoid Ipower at all Costs

by

The following image from Host Jury shows just how many domains Ipower is currently losing due to its lack of service. Head over to Host Jury to read the full post and details.

Ipowerweb problems

If you have a website hosted with Ipower, don’t be surprised if you start running into problems as soon as you hope to do anything beyond hosting a static HTML website. As soon as you require a MySQL database to run a PHP website such as Wordpress, phpBB, or Joomla, you will immediately start experiencing extreme downtime. If you do find any positive reviews about Ipower online, you may want to read this post about how Ipower has been caught posting fraudulent positive reviews!

So how slow will your website be and how long will it take Ipower to fix the problem? Read the comments to this post and see how one user discovered that his website was averaging below 60% uptime! On one day, reports said his website was only available 6% of the time… You can also see via the comments to this post that this sort of problem has now been going on for well over half a year, yet technical support still replies back that either nothing is wrong or that it is a temporary issue!

HostSearch - Visit HostSearch to see how users have been rating Ipower there.

Digg.com - Take a look at some interesting comments regarding Ipower posted by Digg users.

North Country Gazette - Read this extensive article about Ipowerweb and how they are basically putting companies who rely on their online revenue right out of business.

If all of this extensive information has not already convinced you to avoid Ipower at all costs, take a look at another post I wrote yesterday titled Slow MySQL and PHP with Ipower, which links to even more examples of their failure to provide adequate hosting.

The next question on your mind is probably, where to go from here…! Who is a good host? I’d recommend HostGator or 1and1.com. Before making a purchase from any company, take the time to research reviews first on reliable websites such as HostJury. HostJury continually makes an effort to make sure all reviews on their site are real and honest.
