IPOWER has a Starter Plan that's very affordable at $3.95 per month.  And, when your website eventually outgrows it, you can upgrade to the Unlimited Pro Plan for $2 ($5.95 per month), which eliminates the limits on some features for not much more in price.  Oddly enough, to get the highest level plan, the Pro Plus Plan, its $8 more than the Starter Plan and $6 more than the Unlimited Pro Plan, but that's because it has a lot of features that are expanded or transformed into unlimited commodities.

Hosting Package:

IPOWER's Starter Plan is good for starting out, which is why it's called what it's called, but your website is going to outgrow it very quickly.  Luckily, they understand that this is going to happen, so they made their next available plan, the Unlimited Pro Plan, only $2 more than their most affordable option.  Unless you need advanced eCommerce features, the Unlimited Pro Plan is going to meet the needs of your website for years to come.  For those users who need a lot of eCommerce options, they have just the thing for you.  For $11.95 per month, you can have more eCommerce solutions at your fingertips.  Unfortunately, they have placed a 50 product limit for their ShopSite capabilities.  They have AgoraCart and osCommerce in place in case you have more than 50 products to offer.

Ease of Use:

IPOWER's software couldn't have been more easy to use.  We were pleased with how easy it was to complete even the most complex of functions.  Bugs popped up periodically during our use of their software, which were difficult to solve due to the unreliable customer service.  After awhile, you find ways to operate the software without coming across these bugs, but you shouldn't have to do it.  Every product that's released to the public should be free of bugs.  If any bugs pop up, they are remedied right away to prevent them from becoming a burden to any other customers.  IPOWER is aware of the bugs their software has.  They fix some, but are unwilling to fix all of them.  This doesn't do good things for their service's ease of use.

Support and Service:

We had issues with the response time for IPOWER's customer service.  We had questions about a few of the bugs that popped up in their programming and it took them several days to response.  When they did in fact respond, they left us more confused than ever.  Long holding times and hangups are common when it comes to using their customer service options.  If you're patient, odds are you're going to get what you need out of them, but you have to be really patient.
