Anyone else in here use IPowerweb for hosting and have problems?

My work uses them and I've been having problems with downtime, slow connections to the control panel from multiple locations, long website response time, files not overwriting when uploading via the browser uploader or ftp client & sometimes files get corrupt when using the browser uploader. Anyone else have these problems??

Are these recent issues? They have had a major network problem about a week ago that may have pushed things on the wrong side of the road. They may shill be recovering from that.

I'm using their "fatcow" brother brand, and server performance is indeed quite unimpressive, though uptime is quite decent.

The issues are off and on since about May of 08. I'm not impressed with the performance at all, and to be honest their control panel sucks. Of course I have always used cpanel so it could just be my personal preference. Talked my work into switching to HostGator.

Have you thought about possibility have the mirror somewhere? I believe each web host can have some kind of the temperate issues

If your experience with them will be like mine, you should see quite an improvement.

Only own experience is the best teacher IMHO.

Hello Mike!
So how that is going?
Have you changed web host or still with the one you used to use?

**mobilegame** · 10-13-2009, 01:12 PM

i did plan to use ipower, but now i change my mind although they are cheap.

**infotech rules** · 10-13-2009, 01:20 PM

yeah they have much trouble to go through while using their services. cp is headache as well. when you have do a simpler stuff you gota lose your nerves..using other services is quite useful...

Why? If someone has bad luck with them that is not guarantee you will have the same

**infotech rules** · 10-14-2009, 12:16 PM

All of us have different experiences because of different hosts..i will vote for hostgator as well...

Ipower Is Fine, But You Need Check Your Hosting Providers Reliablity And Fuctions.
Also Most Of the Hosting Providers Wont Allow Multiple Signin In Cpanel.
So If You signin From Multiple Locations That Will Slow Your Connection With Cpanel.
