PowWeb hosting was unleashed on the internet in 1999 with the idea of providing perfect web hosting solutions, and has since then managed to fulfill its promises. Because of this they are able to offer tons of bandwidth, disk space, and features for a low price. Because the hosting area is becoming increasingly commoditized, the needs of future customers will swing more towards reliability and support. Companies will have to improve their services to stay competitive. PowWeb is a great example of a company that is always trying to improve. PowWeb is constantly instituting improvements - they have improved their bandwith, disk space, webmail, control panel all in the last 6 months.

PowWeb offers a single plan for $7.77 per month. If you sign up under one of their 2-year specials that give you 14 months free you can actually lower your per month cost to $4.90 per month. With this you get 300 GB of disk space and 3000 GB of transfer. This is an unbeatable deal. Although PowWeb's single plan doesn't allow you to switch up to a higher plan, PowWeb's philosophy is that they want to give you so much available capacity that you won't need a better plan. They are constantly increasing their available bandwidth and disk space. For example, from 2003 to 2007 they increased their bandwidth gradually from 60 GB to 3000 GB. PowWeb's plan will meet the needs of 99.9% of all web sites. For the rare web sites that get up to 5,000-15,000 visitors they may need to switch to a lower-cost dedicated hosting.

PowWeb has a very easy to use Control Panel with many features. In February of 2006 they did a redesign of their control panel to make it more user-friendly. They also have many scripts, script installers, and ecommerce options. They offer CGI-bin, web stats, SSL Secure Server, Frontpage Extensions, DNS Control, 5 MySQL databases, and web-based e-mail.

PowWeb has always been known for it's satisfied customers. They have load-balanced servers to spread out the traffic and unbeatable levels of uptime. Their customer support is also excellent as they added chat support alongside their e-mail and phone support. They also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.

One of the most under-rated features of PowWeb is their extremely busy and helpful forum. Their admins and other users help you solve many of the problems you will have. The system will send a bandwidth notice email to the Administrative Email on the account when you reach 75% of monthly bandwidth quota.
