Web hosts iPower, PowWeb, StartLogic all owned by Endurance International Group
I am in the process of moving all of my hosting clients off of iPowerWeb (iPower) as each account comes up for renewal. It’s an opportunity to also upgrade the platform they’re on as it has been a few years for a lot of these websites.
Why? If you’ve ever dealt with iPower as a multiple-site manager, you know. They were bought or merged with Endurance International Group in MA about a year ago? (I can’t remember, doesn’t matter).
In the process they had to manually edit things like server paths in php configure files without knowledge of the site owner or administrator. They wound up killing an osCommerce installation for one of my clients. I can only imagine how many others were lost by their inexperienced developers who were charged with editing thousands of files. The task itself is unimaginable to me, and of course they screwed up a few.
Anyway, that’s just a single example. I’m moving these sites for many more reasons, the most important one being cost. Companies like IXWebhosting offer unlimited domains (8 unique IP’s – unlimited shared IP’s) for the price of a single domian on most hosts. Check out IX here. Below is a list of known web hosts also owned by Endurance International Group. Do yourself a favor and consider someone else to host your site(s).

Stay away from these sites. We called to cancel a purehost account after moving the site to ipower and they cancelled our ipower site and deleted the files. Then they had the nerve to charge us to open a new account. Customer service was routed to a call center in Arizona after several hours on the. The Endurance International Group would not take responsibility for deleting our site, even though they admit it was their error.
