BusinessPro hosting also includes a free marketing package with tools and guidelines that teach you how to properly market your website.

Overall Performance

Reliability
iPowerWeb uses high performance HP servers in their three data center locations. Their servers run on dual OC-48 connections on diverse backbones and their networks are monitored 24/7. All three data centers have UPS power back-up and diesel back-up generators so that your website will be up and running all the time.

Price Value
The price for hosting is very reasonable. Keep in mind that you only get one free domain with the BusinessPro package. If you need to register more domains for your business you'll pay another $6.50/year per additional domain name and that can really increase your business costs.

Control Panel
vDeck™ isiPowerWeb's customized control panel. It makes managing a shared hosting account very simple with self serve interfaces and end user access for mail and domain administration. The control panel's point-and-click simplicity makes website creation, site marketing and stats collection, shopping cart implementation, email account creation very straight forward.

Customer Support
iPowerWeb's Support Representatives are available 24/7 by phone (toll-free), email, and live chat. Their online help center has a large, searchable knowledgebase, and a very comprehensive collection of interactive online tutorials.
