Have been using powweb for two of my sites.
The first one has been a great thing, without problems...the reason? It doesn't really get any traffic.
The second has been a nightmare. 3 days after setting it up, the mySQL went down. Powweb denies it, but in their forum, there were more than 20 posts of people on that same mySQL server who were down. We all went up and down together over the next two days when something must have been fixed.
However, the limitations put on mySQL keep it from being of any use at all. If you have a website that gets ANY real traffic, you will go over their mySQL limitations many, many times a day...doing so causes them to shut down your web site until the hour is finished.
Powweb in their forums states that they expect to only lose a small percentage of their business b/c of the limitations on mySQL...however, the reality is that do not allow any real "business" site to run due to the restrictions. The only websites that will not go over their restrictions are the ones that do not get any traffic.
If you have a website that no-one goes to, and you don't want anyone to go there, powweb is a great host.
If you are using mySQL, don't even think about using powweb...unless again you don't expect anyone to visit your website.
(oh and don't think about service being useful...they replied to my emails with cut and paste answers)
