Guys,
I know this thread is quite old but...
I am with Ipowerweb and have been for about a year. Read the articles on the webhostingtalk.com and the comments here. To be perfectly honest, at the webhostingtalk.com most of the disparaging comments were made by people with the appended signature of an advertisement for their own webhosting services.
In short, I am very happy with ipowerweb. Never had a single problem with customer service at all. Any issue was handled in a timely and courteous manner. As far as speed goes, the other website mentions the issue of overselling on each server and hence speed has been affected. This I do not know and doubt anyone really does. I cannot complain about speed at all. There is not a problem that I have had.
Bear in mind, I am in Australia and ipowerweb is in the USA. My FTP speeds and site loading rates are brilliant. I Use the links sql with over 300,000 links in it and search's and results are performed and returned at very high and acceptable speed.
I personally would recommend them.
Putting it another way, if you ever had any experience with Australian ISP's and their boody minded simple stupidity you would understand my praise for ipowerweb. The Australian ISP's think they are doing you a favor by letting you have 10megs of server space. As for a sql account? forget it. perl is often a luxury. Bandwidth? Good grief, dont ask.
With Ipowerweb I am paying abouy AU$13 per month with what they offer. And free domain renewals every year. With an Australian ISP one quote I had was over AU$500 per month for the same service.
I know when I am well off and why the Australian ISP's are falling over at a rapid rate.
