PowWeb was established in 1999 by Andrew Te in California, USA. The hosting company has made a name for itself in the “low cost” hosting industry with its history of great support and rich hosting features. Through the years, PowWeb has been recognized by numerous hosting review websites and has been honored with awards for excellence in web hosting. Today, the company hosts over 100,000 domains.
PowWeb owns a huge number of Dell servers and they use unparalleled load balanced technology which provides great reliability to the website owner. PowWeb prides itself on the fact that most of its infrastructure and software was designed and developed by its own engineers.
On PowWeb.com, it is stated that “By continuing to listen to our customers, we continue to learn, grow and evolve our business into the #1 choice for Web hosting.”
Powweb has only one hosting plan. and they have dramatically increased the levelo of services.
The standard rate used to be $7.77 month but it is on sale now for $5.77 / month
I went with Powweb as it seemed very highly rated. Bad choice. The database access to my Joomla site was so slow, it made the server timeout and display the "site temporarily unavailable" message. Powweb customer support admitted they had too many accounts on the data server, but told me there was not much to be done.
Not reliable as a SQL or joomla host AT ALL.
