IPOWER uses it’s proprietary vDeck control panel, which a lot of other hosts are now licensing. We really like this control panel and think it really goes a step further then the cumbersome cPanel platform. vDeck offers all the same features as cPanel plus more, and for those of you whom are used to cPanel, vDeck even offers you the ability to change skins to look a lot like cPanel to help you adjust.

Ipower Uptime & Reliability
IPOWER’s newly revamped back-end is comprised a pooled server environment. This type of secure infrastructure makes it possible for any server on the network to access Web site files upon request. This type of back-end system makes for an incredibly sold and redundant platform. Since it’s the first machine available serving the Web page, it also makes it amazingly fast. The only down side to this type of platform is it doesn’t support access to the Shell (SSH), but if you are truly in need of command line access, you should probably be using a virtual private server, which IPOWER also offers
