iPower Inc's Shared Plan: Too good to be true?
iPower Inc offers an amazing package deal at $7.95 per month. With this package you get 800 Megs (MB) of disk space, 400 e-mails, and 50 GB of transfer! At first glance this sounds a bit unbelievable, because if you do your shopping right, you will notice that there are very few web hosting companies that offer similar packages.

Fortunately I have discovered just how iPower Inc offers such an amazing package at such a low price. If you do your research properly, you will notice that most web sites actually only use 1 to 2 MB of disk space. Having been a web developer for over five years, I have also noticed this with a number of my own sites. With iPower Inc offering 800 MB of disk space, gives developers with small web sites room to expand, while not over charging them, and gives developers with larger web sites a great deal for their money.

Here are a few of the many features that you get with iPower Inc's $7.95 per month package:

If I'm only going to use 1 to 2 MB of disk space, why not go with a $2 host?
This is because the chances of you going with a $2 host and getting the same uptime, reliability, and support that iPower Inc provides is hopeless! A quality service requires investment on your part, and fortunately iPower Inc has been found to provide the greatest quality, at the most affordable price ($7.95 per month x 12 months = only $95.40 per year).

iPower Inc Uptime and Support:
iPower Inc has extensive server uptime and customer support:

- 99.9 % server uptime (you won't get any better than this)
- 24/7 customer support at support@ipower.com
- 7 day e-mail support at support@ipower.com
- 7 day telephone support at 1-888-511- HOST (4678)
- free marketing tools for your web site
- smooth transfer from another host (if you are currently with a host)

iPower Inc's Money Back Guarantee:
Another distinguishing feature about iPower Inc is that they provide customers with a 30 day money back guarantee. That's correct -- if for any reason you are not completely satisfied with iPower Inc, you can cancel your account for a full refund within 30 days after you purchase an account. There aren't a lot of hosts that do this, so it goes to show you how confident iPower Inc is in making sure that you will be satisfied with their offer.

iPower Inc is proud to announce it ranks 3rd among the world's fastest growing hosting providers, according to Netcraft, an Internet services company. The Top 6 Hosting Provider survey is based on the percentage increase in Active Sites between April 2003 and October 2003. iPower Inc has achieved 65.85% percent growth during that time period placing iPower Inc in 3rd place.

"The pheonomal growth we achieved over the past six months can be directly attributed to the hard work of everyone here at iPower Inc," said Thomas Gorny, CEO & President of iPower Inc.

In August, NETCRAFT's monthly reliablity survey ranked iPower Inc in the Top 5 of the "Most reliable and fastest hosting company sites." This is a major testiment to the strength of iPower Inc's technology as many events occurred in August that adversely affected performance and reliability for many hosting companies. A few major events included Distributed Denial of Service Attacks, the Power Outage in the North East US and Canada, a much shorter outage in London, the Blaster Worm, the SoBig Virus, and a deluge of related mail from poorly written anti-virus programs. iPower Inc ranked 3rd amount a handful of companies that recorded zero percent downtime during that month.
