Stellar 0.02% Failure Rate Places It Among Internet's Elite

PHOENIX - IPOWER, Inc., The Power Behind eBusiness(TM), the world's leading eBusiness Website Hosting provider, placed an impressive third in Netcraft's March Ranking by Failed Requests and Connection of the most reliable hosting provider sites.

IPOWER's FreeBSD system recorded a miniscule 0.02% failure rate. IPOWER far exceeded numbers of other major industry players such as GoDaddy, 1&1, Yahoo! Small Business and Rackspace. In fact, since the company's inception, IPOWER has consistently ranked within the top 10 companies listed in this report.

"We pride ourselves in being a company that offers our customers what they need -- from great products and services, to great service to reliable systems. We are proud that the numbers in this report reflect that dedication to our customers," said CEO and President Thomas Gorny.

Netcraft, an Internet services company based in Bath, England, measures and publishes the response times of 50 leading hosting providers' sites. Performance measurements are taken at 15-minute intervals from six separate points around the internet. Averages are calculated over the immediately preceding 24-hour period.

The excellent ranking is only the latest in a string of awards for outstanding performance and customer service earned by IPOWER, which includes: "Gold Award -- Top Web Hosting Award for 2006" (TopTenREVIEWS(TM)); "Editor's Pick for 2006" (Hosting Review); "Top 3 Web Hosting Companies for December 2005" (Top Hosts); "Best Dedicated Host for 2005" (100Best); "#1 Budget Web Hosting Provider for October 2005" (Web Host Directory); and "Editor's Choice Award Winner for Budget Hosting for July 2005" (Web Host Magazine & Buyer's Guide).
