Powweb has been around since 1999 and in that time, has challenged its competition at every turn. Evolving into a serious player in the shared hosting market, Powweb now operates out of three facilities in two countries, and shows no sign of slowing down.

Like many of the hosts on this list, the level of Powweb’s reliability was evident over the course of the review. We found the responsiveness of their servers to be excellent and were hard pressed to find complaint with this aspect of their service. They have implemented a generator in case of power failure and perform regular backups, something that more hosts should do, but tend not to.

Powweb prices their single hosting plan, "One Plan" package, at $3.88 per month. For this, you get Unlimited web space, Unlimited transfer, a free domain registration, database access, a range of guarantees and much more. The features included with the plan are superb and, in our opinion, are more than sufficient for any uses; be it simple websites, business, or even corporate.

The control panel provided by Powweb is clean and straightforward. Unlike many hosts, they employ their own customized control panel. The performance and reliability of the control panel were fair, never dipping into the unacceptable. This is a good indicator of the stability of their infrastructure, as it is rare, even amongst the highest quality hosts, to encounter such a consistently reliable control panel.

Powweb offers 24/7 live chat, phone support and a convenient support system taking advantage of email support and a ticketing system. Their support staff is top notch, and always helpful when contacted.

Summary Overall, Powweb left us with a good impression. Although not perfect enough to rank higher on our chart, they nonetheless are a great choice and based on their history, those deficiencies which were evident will most likely be rectified. The fact that they are still in our top 10 hosting companies (many do not even reach our top 10 list) proves just that. Visit Powweb
