| ludwigb's Full Review: PowWeb Hosting |
I have been with Powweb for 3 years. Unfortunately, they have been bought by a holding company called Endurance that is in the business of buying up hosting services and conglomerating them into one network. During the migration of Powweb accounts to the servers at Endurance there were innumerable problems. Just read the Powweb forum. Of course many complaints were removed by the heavy-handed forum moderators but there are still a mountain of them. Endurance seems to have been ill-prepared for the migration and unable to cope with many of the common content management and commercial packages that the old Powweb handled nicely. Right now Endurance seems to have a problem with their backbone service as well. The customer service is a laugh (except when you're crying). FTP service is erratic with delays and dropped connections. There are constant Mysql database problems. The email service is very bad.
The bottom line- Avoid Powweb or any hosting service that Endurance has taken over.
