PowWeb was established in 1999 and over the past decade has become one of the best known budget web hosts in the US. The company is privately owned.

Company and Services
PowWeb is one of the leading low price hosts targeting the small-to-medium-sized website market, and looks after more than 60,000 websites worldwide. The company is based in Burlington, Massachusetts, some 25 kilometers from Boston.

PowWeb’s motto is “One plan, one price”, and this is exactly what it offers - just one unlimited shared (or exchange hosting) plan for a competitive price. PowWeb’s plan includes unlimited data storage, bandwidth and email accounts, as well as offering e-commerce and online marketing tools. It offers a 30 day money back guarantee.

Despite relatively low prices, PowWeb is keen to emphasize that quality is not sacrificed: only its own state-of-the-art Dell servers are used and reliability is assured through load-balancing.

PowWeb has a policy of doing everything in-house, from sales to development and support. The company's stated policy is that it can get ahead of the competition by providing good customer service – this may be especially true in the budget hosting market where low cost often comes at the cost of good customer care.

Technical support can be reached by email, phone or live online chat, and is available 24/7. PowWeb also has a very large and active online user forum where you can exchange ideas and seek advice. There is also a knowledgebase on its website containing useful questions and answers from previous customer inquiries.

PowWeb has received numerous awards including being Hosting Review’s Editor’s Pick’ in 2006 and a ‘Top 5 Web Host’ with HostReview.com in December 2004.

Server Location
All of PowWeb’s servers are located in a data center in Los Angeles, California.
