For anyone who uses Powweb, you should read this.
I tried posting this in their forum, but the powweb employees just edit my posts and delete them whenever I have very TRUE information that they don't like - which they have a right to do on their forums, but 1.) it is morally no-no, and 2.) they are hiding information their consumers should know.
So here it goes:
First thing I did was repsond to a post in their pre-sales questions forum. Someone was asking if Powweb is the actual hosting company and not a reseller.
Of course their own employee's responded to it and said "Yes, our servers are 100% located at a powweb data center".
No, not so, they have some colo servers through a company called Myrient, which I can confirm from someone I know who works there.
Immediately after posting this, a powweb forum admin edits my posts and puts words into my mouth saying exactly the opposite.
Then I replied again saying he's a fool for doing that because than customers will just know they're trying to hide something.
So I got over that one, and just went about my business.
But then again, some more controversial posts.
Powweb now requires you to send in a copy of your credit card or some other form of verification (in the site faq, it says CC only, it seems powweb is only accepting the alternate forms by request only).
I clearly replied to the post trying to point out to people that the copying/duplication of your credit card in any form (it is copied if you scan it/copy it, anyway) is ILLEGAL in some states.
I wasn't being rude, I was being polite, and I was actually posting the message in favor of powweb, because they can get in serious trouble as a business if they make people send in an image of their CC when it's illegal in that state - both parties.
About an hour or so later, I come back, and my post is no where to be found, it was deleted.
This can all be explained in itself, and you can clearly see powweb is covering up all of the truthful and helpful information I produce.
