📄 Editorial Review

IPower is an eco-friendly web hosting company founded in 2001, great for all sized businesses. Due to their tempting web offers, included features, tools and applications, IPower has become a top company in the hosting industry. IPower promises to offer the customers reliability, security and availability all around the world.

Their data is divided by load balancers and managed by servers which are, again, divided in application pools (FTP, Web, etc.). Their servers are secured by constant and high quality backups, in case there is any data failure. IPower comes with solutions to manage your website. Among products, we may mention: Domain Registration, VPS plans, Dedicated plans, WordPress hosting, Email hosting, Shared hosting, SSL certificates, Email Services, E-Commerce Services and Marketing Services.

There are three VPS plans available at IPower. There are set of useful features included in these packages and they come at good prices. Here are some of the features that are at your disposal: free domain; unlimited domains and subdomains, MySQL databases; FTP accounts and pre-installed scripts.

When it comes to Dedicated Servers, we have, again, three plans from which customers can choose. There are similar features between Dedicated servers and VPS hosting plans. Here, you also get between 3 to 5 IP addresses depending on what plan you choose. Their Reseller Hosting plans are available for both Linux and Windows OS. There are many attractive tools one can use as a reseller. Probably a disadvantage with this hosting website is that some tools do not last too long, as the customers might have to start paying for them after 12 months.

😞 Windows html site being changed to php
I create websites. All of a sudden my longtime favorite host ipower is not the same anymore. All my clients & my 2 sites are being changed without my permission from .html to .php ! They are seriously pushing php. Chat only no help. I am leaving ipower...sad & taking my clients with me.

😠 Run away and fast
I had been customer of iPower for many years. Suddenly, they started billing accounts I did not want renewed and changed the status in the control panel from manual to automatic was reset. Customer support was horrible. Not only were they rude, but heaven forbid you ask for a supervisor. These guys were USELESS! iPower's motto should be "It is always the customers fault...it is never us".
I am taking away each account from them as they expire.
I hate this company so much. I want to see them fail for treating me so poorly as a customer. I hate them in the strongest way possible. I used to refer people to them years ago. Now, I tell my customers to RUN from them.

😠 One domain, which had had hosting canceled in '07, was still being charged annually for hosting. Finding out that the front office had been paying the bill, I called ipower. The client will get about $45 back from the 2009 renewal, but that's it as ipower says they "have no record of the cancellation," and apparently no records at all about customer activity.

A 2nd domain's information apparently just vanished; ipower could not find it, even though I got to spell it for them phonetically 5 times. With no renewals or emails, it has fallen into Redemption Period, what a headache. HOURS on the phone, ipower says contact TucowsInc, ipower is not the Registrant, TucowsInc say contact ipower, ipower is the Registrant; nobody can do anything unless they get $160.

A couple other domains cannot have the name server information modified because ipower appears to be unable to supply me with the proper information to access opensrs. What boggles me is when did the access info get changed, and who changed it?

I do not recommend ipower.
