Maybe

Oct 10 2012

This host sometimes sucks and other times is good, so they aren't very consistent. I can maneuver around their inconsistencies but others may not have the patience.

Try looking somewhere else if you need a good host, this isn't where you want to land.

not my favorite place

Sep 12 2012

There are other hosts better than this one so I would think you need to look at another one. There are a lot of headaches here right now.

Doing OK

Aug 30 2012

They are doing a average job here and that is fine with me but I don't have any big business located here. I'm a small timer so maybe don't need as much as others. If you don't have a lot of technical needs you might be fine here.

Marginal host

Aug 16 2012

I'm okay here, it's not an outstanding host but they have been enough to maintain mine. But I'm a small player so might not suit you.

Not here

Aug 2 2012

Try to look elsewhere if you are looking, these people used to be good and all was good at the beginning but that has changed. Support team does not help now, don't know what is happening.

In the beginning things were good

Jul 22 2012

I was initially pretty happy with what they offered. The service was good, it seemed reliable. Then things changed. The customer service is non=existant. The tech team is clueless. The downtime is endless.

Great Service

Jun 20 2012

Pretty solid performance for a low monthly fee. Main strengths are their speed and reliability. I like their featured control panel and their Community Forum is so helpful for technical questions. They have free tools and utilities in their resource center and upgrade their servers all the time. So far my uptime with them haspractically 100%. I would recommend their service because of its size and dependability.

e-mails disappear

Jun 18 2012

The term "bounce" is not enough when you think about lost e-mails. The e-mails getting bounced or lost has been an issue that I can't deal with while usingpowweb. I have tried a few things to stop this from happening. I turned off my spam filter amoung other things and that did not help at all. If you need to be sure to get your e-mails then go with someone else.

Looking for new host

Jun 9 2012

My main problem with pow web is the perl set-up. It is not so good. The yabb mesaage forum soiftware is what I use, and my site is not any more complicated than that. Because powweb have been making changes to to the way they handle the perl installation it has made the scripts stop working . That is the whole issue with the scripts not working, it has nothiong to do with usersilike they say.

Decent price/reliable

Jun 14 2012

The price is good with them-for the basic sites that I do have. My relationship has gone on with them for over five years and they have stayed the same throughout. That right there means stability to me. My site is very reliable and has not had any major problems.

Powweb satisfies

Jun 11 2012

My satisfaction with this organization is substantial, they have done nothing but be supportive and try to fix whatever it is I need. Their user friendliness could be a bit better, it seems a bit clunky compared to the quality of the rest of it. But I would recommend them.
