Why Do We Highly
Recommend iPowerWeb ?
Sure, there're thousands, if not millions
yet;-), of web hosting services out there. Google "web
hosting" and you get over 4 million pages returned.
However, in our opinion, there's only one
that really stands out from the rest of the world - iPowerWeb.
We ourselves use their excellent service, and recommend
it to all our web site
design and web
promotion clients.
We, 1st Singapore
Web Hosting, are not reseller of iPowerWeb,
neither are we hired by them in any way. Yet we don't
hesitate to recommend their service to our own clients.
By doing this, we actually put our reputation on a company
that we are not associated with and have no control over.
Why?
Because they over-deliver every time we,
or our clients, use their service. Here's our first hand
review for you to make the decision.

period and are very satisfied with their speedy replies

for free. If you already registered a domain, you can

Free Fresh Content
iPowerWeb
provides free fresh content to your site and you will
be able to use the same content as the BIG guys! There
are 11 categories of daily news content: Financial, Business,
World News Horoscopes, Movies, Weather, Web Directory,
Software, Comics, Jokes and PC Enhancements.
Marketing Center
This is an customer only area where you
can login and use a lot of free tools to market your web
site. You can use the link submitter to submit your site
to all major search engines. You can also use link checker
to check for bad links on your web site. You can setup
a newsletter, create upcoming event alert, manage banners,
compress your GIF files to make them smaller, etc.
Anonymous FTP
You can setup anonymous FTP accounts with
iPowerWeb.
Anonymous FTP means someone can FTP to your site without
the need of an exact password (normally their email address
is submitted as password). This allows your visitors to
download specific files from your site via FTP or upload
files to a permitted directory.
Ecommerce Ready
iPowerWeb
is suitable for ecommerce hosting. An ecommerce ready
plan means the plan must provide free shopping cart and
SSL certificate. iPowerWeb
supplies each customer with secure SSL server and Agora
shopping cart.
To accept credit card payment, you have
to use a secure form. The information on the secure form
is encrypted at the web site using SSL and is mailed to
you securely.
Most hosting companies charge $10-30 per
month for SSL server. With iPowerWeb
you get it for free.
Flash Tutorials
They provide 49 interactive flash tutorials.
You learn by watching a movie showing you 'how to do it',
instead of reading boring text files. They have many tutorials
such as how to use your FTP software to upload your web
site, working with FrontPage, web site control panel,
MySQL database and more. You can watch all of them even
you are not their customer :-)
You can never find a better deal than this
under the sun!
