iPower done me wrong, robbed me blind, and left me cryin'. I was with them for nearly 10 years and I HATE that company. Do a google on their nefarious billing practices. They cost me hundreds in double-and-triple billing that I know I'll never see back. Their tech support was abysmal (although now I know a lot more than they apparently do about MySQL...but still, that's not my freaking job!!). I really resent having to learn stuff because my provider can't do their JOB.
Now, I'll never use another irresponsible overseller (and lunarpages is one) and recommend medialayer. I did an
intense amount of angry research before choosing and could not be happier. If you go with an irresponsible overseller you are renting unmanaged server space with others: if you rent with a crazy company who promises the moon...that is what your customers could end up looking at instead of your site. If you get good service from an overseller you are just lucky until someone who shares your server gets Digged, Farked or AICN'd. Then watch your site die. Seriously: why do you smart people believe you
really get the storage and bandwidth quoted for seven bucks a month? Try using it! Try! Just try. Really try even approaching what you've been promised. I did.
If you are setting up for a business, DO NOT go with one of these cheap, too-good-to-be-true companies. You will get exactly $7.00 a month in service. You will spend far more in your personal labor on the phone with rank idiots. Then you will research and fix the problem(s) on your own and end up bitter.
