Pros: There are no pros. This is a horrible company. Cons: Your website will be unbearably slow if it loads at all.

Pros: Cost, setup, easy maintenance Cons: MySql servers are on a different "domain" so you cannot remotely connect to them.

Pros: none Cons: slow HTTP, slow FTP, clueless customer service
Summary: With the Endurance Inc take-over of Powweb, the customers have lost what was once a conscientious and user-based service. The 'new' Powweb is absolutely the worst hosting company I've seen yet. Slow page loads, slow and often timing-out FTP connection,

Pros: cheap Cons: SLOW, FLAKY, CONSTANTLY CHANGING THINGS
Summary: I saw a good review for powweb and decided to give it a try. Transfered my entire site over, which was very complex and a timely process. I rely on the sql databases and have close to a GB of content. After all the work, the performance has been
