I've used Powweb for a couple of years, and overall have been
very satisfied with their products and service. Admittedly, none of
my sites (I have six websites, which are redirected to two Powweb
packages) are high volume, none are overly complex, and none are
mission critical. My experience is that they have been helpful, and
when some part of their system goes down (webmail, pop3mail, a
website, MySQL) they are quick to post a notice on their bulletin
board, and prompt to fix the problem. For $7.77 per month, I can
tolerate my website not working for five minutes in two months. Such
downtime is very rare in my experience. When I have had serious
problems with my websites, it's been my own fault. Php, MySQL, Perl,
and other things you simply can't get on AOL have a steep learning
curve! Fortunately, the Powweb forums usually provide an answer to
such mistakes. My only real reservation is that all of their
equipment is located in Los Angeles, not far from the San Andreas
fault. When The Big One comes, I'm in trouble.

I have been with PowWeb for years now and they have been an
excellent host. Countless times they have improved their service and
hosting package for existing users for free. PowWeb has great
servers, equipment, and Internet connection for an extremely high
level of speed and reliability with downtime (not caused by
upgrades) very rare. Support and the community forum are great. Not
many hosts have their own forum to allow customers (and potential
customers) to help each other out, but I don't see why not--if
you're having a problem you can get an answer in literally minutes.
Try out PowWeb, you should like them as much as I have. And if you
don't, they have a 30 day money back guarantee.

Can't beat the price
Powweb is a shared hosting provider that I have been using for
just under a year now. They have a price of only $5.77 a month for
300 gigs of space and their one and only plan includes a free domain
(for a year). For the price I really don't think there is a better
shared hosting provider. Now that's not to say that they are perfect
by any means. I have noticed some slowness with some of my pages
loading. It usually only lasts a few hours and then the speed picks
right up again. Their other fault is that you can only host 1 site
for that price (you can create many sub domains though). I've found
the 24/7 tech support to be quite helpful and knowledgeable as well.
Also for that price you get a bunch of free programs already
installed that you just need to activate. The best being wordpress.
Overall I'm happy with Powweb and I recommend them for anyone
looking to start a new site.

Good Value
for Money
I signed up for PowWeb as my
first host, having heard about it from a friend. Having previously
been on a free host, I was somewhat daunted by the huge amount of
space on offer, and along with the traffic allowed, not unlimited,
but more than enough I find (200 pages and I haven't scratched the
surface). There's an easy to use control panel which everyone can
use (even my mother) and for the more technologically minded the FTP
is easy to access, which I connected to no problems. I found the PHP
support very useful, though it was annoying to find out after
muchbannoying discussion with Technical Support they don't support
custom dlls. All-in-all you get a lot for virtually no cost: more
than enough for small to medium sized businesses.

Powweb - for
the empowered
I hosted my old website on powweb for more than a year. They have
only one plan. But it in essentials had all what i needed. Their
Support was terrific and the servers uptime was 100%. I never had my
website down . The serrver was very much reliable and lightning
fast. But one major pitfall on the host is that they have only one
plan and I felt that the resources given was too much to me at that
time when i nowhere touched 35% of the total resource available and
thought that the price i had to pay for that was a sky high. But on
the whole they are a great host. I would recomend anyone to sign up
there if your site sucks that much mamoth resource and you can
afford to spend 100bucks a year just for your site.

PowWeb's
famous OnePlan
PowWeb is a host that has been around for quite a few years
now. I personally believe this is a great host. They have many
benefits, including 300GB space, 3000GB data transfer, 24/7 live
support and a custom built control panel that lets you dynamically
modify many things such as the PHP.INI file and interpreter
versions. The only disappointing thing about this host is that they
are a little elusive. They have only one plan, and on their site
they claim to allow ‘unlimited domains’ which one would think means
you can have as many sites as you want, but in reality ‘unlimited
domains’ just means you can have multiple domains point to the same
site. However, overall I think this is a great host with a large
community forum and other great features. All this at just $5.77 a
month. I recommend this host.

Reviewer: KartikMy site is hosted on Powweb and overall
connection speed has been great . Even the customer support is very
goods, if not fast.
Very little downtime and very good price.
Highly recommended

Pretty damn solid performance for a low monthly fee. Main
strengths are their speed and reliability. I like their featured
control panel and their Community Forum is so helpful for technical
questions. They have free tools and utilities in their resource
center and upgrade their servers all the time. So far my uptime with
them has been near 100%. I would recommend their service because of
its size and dependability.
