😞 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.

😠 I have had this company for years. In the past year or during covid they charged a 150.00 hosting fee then this year they charged a 215.00 fee. I had changed two items to manual a few years ago and was recently charged again automatically for a privacy fee and the site when I did not want to keep it and never needed privacy on it from day one. I also downgraded shopsite and when I looked I was still being charged for shopsite pro. I used live chat and explained all and that I also was being charged for an SSL three times. He even said one was unused and the dead end was that he said he couldn't do any refunds.

😠 I used IPOWER for a website and email for a number of years, then sold my business and moved to a residual email address....then at some point, no more communication from IPOWER. No more billing, etc. When the email stopped working I phoned customer service and spoke with someone who seemed to be mad at the world (and me). The first few years were great, but their communication to clients seems to be nil.

📄 Editorial Review

🔃 iPower is part of Newfold Digital
🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain Registration
⇔ Redirected from ipowerweb.com

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.

💰 Price & Cost

They promise to give you a refund within 30 days if you are not satisfied with your choice of hosting solution. But there is a problem here! Even if they claim that the customers get a refund in 30 days, there is actually a cancellation fee that will cost them $35.

Their prices are affordable, but slightly higher than the ones offered by GoDaddy or Bluehost (click to compare), especially after the prices renew. Below is a brief comparison between the prices offered for the cheapest shared hosting plan by IPower, GoDaddy and Bluehost.

- Shared Hosting IPower – $3.99/month for the first term; renews at $8.99/month.
- Shared Hosting GoDaddy – $ 2.99/month for the first term; renews at $7.99/month.
- Shared Hosting Bluehost – $3.95/month for the first term; renews at $7.99/month.

⌛ Reliability

The purpose of IPower is to offer the customers a great experience when accessing their website. However, there is no mention of uptime guarantee on their page. This is a big disadvantage for them, as other top companies mention it. There is already a big competitiveness in the industry regarding uptime guarantees, and no mention just lowers their chances of remaining in the top.

🏢 Data Center

IPower has two data centers in Boston, MA area. These are equipped with 24x7 security and function on N+1 power.

✍️ Customer Support

Their customer support is available 24/7. When needed, customers can contact them by phone, live chat or email. Besides these, you can access their knowledgebase any time. However, there are many complains coming from customers regarding the speed of the response provided by the team and the quality of it. Nevertheless, each experience is different.

🔨 Control Panel

Unlike other companies that generally use cPanel, IPower uses vDeck control panel. It has a friendly interface and it is generally easy to use.

🎯 Conclusion

IPower offers great facilities to future customers and it is very competitive on the market. Some prices might seem a little higher than others offered by other top companies, though. Their customer support team might not satisfy the customers’ demands, and the time taken for a response is considered way too long. Overall, IPower is a great company, coming with efficient plans and good prices.

😠 No Longer a Good or Reliable Provider
I used to love IPOWER. They were my first host & registrar and everything was great for several years in terms of service, features, and customer service. But over the last few years, the price of hosting went up by 300%! I should have left two years ago, but the hassle of migration delayed me, until the updated Control Panel hid all the important features I needed in terms of database management, advanced naming control, and everything else took far too many click throughs to get there.

😠 Customer since open - Gone
I have been with Ipower since startup and so back when the owner still answered the phone, had only two staff members and was the best hosting company in the world. I myself have sold better than a thousand accounts for them and felt good about it.

For the past four years nothing works well, let alone right. Horrible and Horrible, ok,untrained and incompetent pack of... staff., Support staff and even walking them through exactly what they need to do because it has always been an issue... they can't see it or make. Even their own control panel is missing images.

Cannot understand, let alone answer a simple question. Cannot assist in any way shape or form as they are not authorised. managers who cant manage, 2nd level support open only 9-5 central US time.

Close cases with inane answers, don't tell cases are closed.

If you want a life, stay well clear from IPOWER!!!!!

😠 These guys have gone down hill over the last year. I have been with them for 7 years and it was good. There technical support model is the worse I have seen and their customer service is all template based. No one knows what each other is doing. My sites have been down for 3 days now and everyone is saying something different. Sorry Ipower, you played and you lost... Moving to another provider..

😁 Over 6 years and only two outages
I've used these guys for over 6 years, every problem has been handled quickly and professionally. The only outages were handled within hours and the staff was informative and apologetic for any issues called. They pretty much answer any question you ask even if it isn't truely service related, like how to do something with there design tools if you can't figure out what to use. The price of this service is worth being able to speak to someone who understands what you are asking and is polite with the reponse. For over six years of service, and such a bargain price, I think I can handle one 30 minute outage and one 4 hour one.

😠 Long term customer but I've had enough
Terrible system. The damned thing crashes at the worst times. Every year I need to deal with a crash. You can't talk to a human, so they have a chat system. You wait for 20 minutes or so for the privilege of talking to someone via chat who lies to you. Later, when I complain about the lie they tell me I must have misunderstood. What lie? "Within the next hour your service will be restored". Pretty clear to me what my expectations are after that statement.

I am forced to look elsewhere. I have no time for this crap, but apparently I must. I wish I could just find an e-mail provider who could handle my domain, provide me with service without all the drama.

😠 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.

I wished to cancel my domain but missed the email telling me they would automatically renew and even though I contacted them within 14 days of the billing date they would not refund. I was charge in the region of 150USD for a domain I didn't want. They're the sort of company that makes their money from oversights and ultimately from other people's misfourtune. Shame on 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.

I encounter ipower about twice per year, and dread it each time. I stay with them only because of momentum and dread the search/uncertainty/porting to a new ISP. Here is what to expect from them:

You get an email with threatening terms each year indicating you need to pay to renew. However, there is no link to the pay webpage, so you have to navigate their crappy interface to pay. There is no immediate indication that you have paid, so you aren't quite sure. Twice, I paid and then received a second threatening email, and had to phone them to straighten things out.

I started to notice that the terms of my plan for new users increased disk space and bandwidth etc, but they did not offer to increase mine. I asked, and they would not do it until my next renewal (4 months away). At that time, I had to negotiate it, again.

I immediately opened a trouble ticket with iPower and when I didn't hear from them after a few days I started to call and use the chat feature on their site. I cannot tell you how many times they told me that "someone is working on it and it will be resolved in a few hours".

To make matters worse, they have switched to a new cPanel (that my other hosts have had no trouble with) and they can't seem to get it right. They obviously didn't test it before shoving down our throats, so what should have taken a matter of hours to get up and running is now taking months.

They take all your questions and information on the phone and forward them to a tech support person that will contact you in 24-48 hours.

I am with out my domain name for now and the attorney general office has been contacted by me. ONLINE.Inc who does ipowerweb registrations are not getting away with their part in this mess either. Stay away from ipowerweb, watch your wallet!

😠 Very sorry experience. I signed up and payed for a 1yr contract. Tried to get customer service with the 24 hot line and received a recording to leave my name and number twice - did that and they never returned my calls. Tried to get email support for same issue and received only canned responses that they would get to me. Waited for 30 minutes on the chat support that never came. I have been trying to get my money refunded for a month now which according to their 30 day guarantee should be no problem. I have spent over an hour total on hold talking to 3 different people and still no refund!!!!!!! The only thing they did quickly was take my money!

Causa Technologies (sales@c...)

😠 Let me start off by saying Im not here to bash this host. Im here to share my culmination of over 5 years of experience with this company. I want to make fellow webmasters and IT proffesionals who run small buisinesses aware that this provider is in trouble. There is no accountablility at this company, they grew too fast and you are never going to get any sort of "technical help" if your site is down or if your having any problems. What you will get is legions of cut and paste experts reading a scripted dialouge. That being said, lets look at the meat and potaotes of what prompted this post.

Today is 2/2/2006 I have a dedicated server with these people and I am a reseller with over 20 sites hosted with them. The dedicated server went down a day ago, and I have called and spoke with 3-4 "technicians" to get it back up. All they can tell me is they will try to "page" someone to reboot the server and then hang up. I pay $99 a month for this thing and was promised 24/7/365 [read more...]

😠 iPower.com is the worst domain registrar and host I have ever encountered. My blood pressure rises whenever I have to deal with them as their customer support is massively incompetent. Try to get them on the phone and then be prepared to get cut off after an hour on hold. Happened to me several times. Their online chat is worthless as all they do for any issue is to tell you to call their tech support or billing department. They want to do everything through email which is a major hassle if you use different email addresses (say, from home and from work).

I would recommend you avoid them like the plague!

😠 We hosted our customers thru Ipower as a reseller for about 1 year. Had we done a simple Google search for Ipower we would have quickly learned that Ipower is a notoriously bad company. There is more bad stuff written about Ipower than all of the other hosting companies combined. I cannot fit all of the horror stories about them into this review but image never getting though to customer support, frequent billing errors (in there favor of coarse), excessive downtime, domains not getting reregistered even after they take your money, rude and unprofessional support team, and the list goes on. Avoid them at all costs and do not trust any review site that rates them very high - they probably own it.

😠 I'm leaving these fools and going to ixwebhosting.com's site!! Ipowerweb does not answer emails or answer the phone. NOR do they know WHAT they are doing!!.... I've had to figure things out by myself.

Ixwebhosting.com answers emails BEFORE 2 minutes is up AND the answer the phone before 3 minutes is up!!... now THIS is service!!!

😞 I work in a government office. When iPower changed to their vDeck system, we were unable to utilize the control panel through our firewall. The customer service trying to resolve this issue was horrendous. I spoke with people who had so little knowledge, they did not even know what a server-side include was. They ended up telling us we could not use vDeck unless we opened a port (which we can't do).

Additionally, the phone wait times are very long, and, they use internet phone service, so there can be large gaps as the call drops in and out.

It absolutely DUMBFOUNDS me how they can stay at the top of the ratings. I used to be a fan of theirs as I also use them for various client websites, but not anymore.

😃 You get what you pay for. The business pro plan is about $100 a year, and you can't expect to have instant satisfaction when dealing with support. I give them a 7 because, you are getting a nice toolset and reasonable response time (~24hrs) for the price. Expect to struggle a little bit when you have issues, but be patient, because all these companies at this price model are going to be the same. Something I have noticed is that lately IPowerWeb appears to be changing it's name to IPower. There are 2 websites, 1 new (ipower.com) and 1 old (ipowerweb.com). I am wondering if it is being done to distinguish them from PowWeb a completely different company? The new website has different hosting plans with vDeck on it's unix servers than the old one which using cpanel. I get the impression that cpanel is being phased out and vdeck is still in a beta stage but is being pushed on anyone willing to switch from cpanel and giving to all new customers. I just switched this week and there are [read more...]

😠 DO NOT USE THIS HOST!!!!!!
The billing dept is 100% AWOL when it comes to helping you. I have been trying for a week to reach a person in billing to discuss an upcoming automatic renewal of my account. No one is home. You are either placed on permanent hold or told that their system is down and that they will return your call (don't hold your breath!!). E-mails to IPower are equally ignored. All you receive is an endless chain of replies stating that they will respond shortly (they don't). If you call Sales and they find out you are asking about an EXISTING account, you are immediately slammed over to billing (read the avove). Don't let the cute responses by people from IPower on some of the review sites fool you. You will not be able to reach them, even though they write responses with their phone extension, etc. I'm close (very close) to calling the Santa Monica Police, Bunko division if they do any unathorized billing to my credit card.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!! YOU HAVE [read more...]

😠 I have had the same customer service problems as the previous opinion states. Can only contact throught email... and some automated reply gets spit back to me without any resolution. I have been dealing with this for the past (2) weeks and below is the latest transcript between myself and ipower technical support.

I will update with the outcome, but it looks like I will be switching my host.
Any companies out there who think they can provide better customer service than ipower is welcome to contact me for my business.

James Schuster (jschuster@s...)

😠 I would like to share with you our dismal experience thus far with ipower. For two to three weeks, we have attempted to work in good faith with ipower on some very serious issues to our business. Spending very significant executive time, our company attempted to work with ipower relative to dedicated server problems on ipower's part, which resulted in more than 300+ unexpected shut-downs over a short period of time. For example, with respect to 8/8/2005, alone, we experienced 17 unexpected shut-downs alone. What we were told is that ipower would look into it and get back to us. The last time we had that discussion (very a websession, was on the 17th. Yet, no one has gotten back to us, other than a "robo" message presuming everything is fixed unless ipower hears back from us within x amount of hours. Because we are not interacting with the server during those times of unexpected shutdown, the customer relations person at ipower (who simply ended up providing us with nothing but [read more...]
