Do they have anyone with a brain there? I mean it!
My site (www.kelleysisland.com) has been down for three days now. This just two weeks after being down before when they "migrated" my site. This was one of the only sites i had not moved over from Ipower (out of about 25) because it was so big and busy i didn't want to risk it - now they finally screwed this one too. I have had multiple sites with virus injections problems that they tried to blame on me. I Especially LOVE their cut and paste customer service - does this look familiar? (My most recent conversation):
Virgil Shaw: How can I help you today?
Daniel Hazard: Well it has been 33 hours since I reported that my site was down and not a thing has been done.
Daniel Hazard: I was told i was on the "highest" priority multiple times
Virgil Shaw: To protect your account from unauthorized changes, can you please verify for me the answer to the Security Question:
Virgil Shaw: What is your mother's maiden name?
Daniel Hazard: XXXXXX
Virgil Shaw: Thank you for the authentication.
Virgil Shaw: Can you please hold while I review your account and get back within 2 to 3 minutes?
Daniel Hazard: which has nothing to do w/my site being down.
Daniel Hazard: oh sure, what the hell
Virgil Shaw: Thank you for holding.
Virgil Shaw: I have checked the issue and noticed that one of the senior specialist is working on the issue. The specialist will be calling you as soon as the issue is resolved.
Virgil Shaw: I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, I just want to reach thru the net or phone and choke someone to death! This is a site for a resort island where they basically have 3-4months to make all their money for the year. Each time i log back in they tell me a higher level person is "working" on it. The only thing wrong is that the site is not defaulting to www.kelleysisland.com/index.php from www.kelleysisland.com - if u go to the first address you can see the site - HOW HARD CAN THIS ACTUALLY BE TO FIX? THREE DAYS?

That is so ridiculous. That is almost the exact same conversation I had today about our site.
Why are these douche bags still in business?

When not hating iPower, I like to garden and take walks in the park.
After two days there solution to my site not appearing was to put a index.html with meta-reffresh to my index.php page! ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Are they freaking kidding? So no one there can even change a setting on the server so that index.php is the default or even just one of the choices if no index.html is present?? Its a VERY SLOW redirect and links to interior pages are still not working because someohow double slash is being added after .com
Im thinking this is a great forum to constitute or class action lawsuit
Ipower is the new Great Satan

Ipower is the new Great Satan
I feel your pain. Ipower isn't just the WORST hosting company I've dealt with, it is the WORST company that I've ever dealt with.
I've made three big mistakes in my 6 years of business and 1 of them is Hosting with IPOWER. I hope they get sued.
