To help keep their claim of 99.9% uptime reality, IPOWER utilizes high
performance HP servers, dual OC-48 connections on diverse backbones, Cisco
routers using BGP4 protocol and provide 24/7 network monitoring. If problems do

outage they have available diesel back-up generators. Therefore, with IPOWER, a
little power outage will not freeze your site.

wise alternative to a sluggish host that your business or organization has
outgrown.
Control Panel
The control panel displays large, easy to interpret icons organized into
various categories, such as, reports, settings, email, plug-ins, applications
and marketing. Through the panel, you can manage your site and create web pages
and logos.
IPOWER employ several control panels, depending on the package purchased. New
shared, hosted accounts use VDec-a crisp, sophisticated control panel that is
powerful yet simple to use. VDeck has built in webpage publishing tools. The
help sections in VDeck are extensive, but often unnecessary since most functions
are self-explanatory. The statistics function runs with AWStats (Advanced Web
Statistics), an application capable of generating a wide range of easy-to-read
reports that help you get a clear idea of your site traffic.
Web Hosting Control Panel
Host Monster offers outstanding administrator control as their web hosting
accounts employ cPanel, the best control panel in the market. At Host Monster,
your cPanel will include crucial website data like website statistics, and will
allow for ultimate control over email accounts, domain names, files, and so on.
If you are interested in having a content management website, cPanel includes
Fantastico, so you will be able to easily install any major CMS like Joomla.
