Searching on Google brought me to this thread (http://forums.hostsearch.com/showthread.php?t=3099)

Like the Canuk, I've had a horrible experience with iPowerWeb. I used their server as a backup for some files - including 3 years of my son's baby pictures.

My website got shut down for an alleged DMCA infringement. While the content in question was a fair-use quotation including citation, I was willing to pull it to get my site back up. Fast forward through an unresolved BBB case and $100 in hosting renewal fees later.

In a nutshell, avoid this company at all costs.

Here's my longer version of what happened. (http://mystyl.us/iPowerWeb.htm) If you're a Digg member, I'd appreciate the publicity to get these guys to do the right thing and return my files.

Thanks for listening to my rant

Yes, I've heard many bad things about them too. It's a shame they're so popular :mad:

You'd think enough bad publicity would get around. No such luck so far.
