They lease a dedicated server (if that is the right word for it) from the same company they were with before switching over from the shared server.

I don't anything about costs of it.

Nope, actually I did a bit of searching and I found a better company who offered much more for half the price as what I was going to do.

Right now, you are reading this text from the following computer:
Intel Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
1024mb DDRAM Memory
120gb Hard Drive
1000gb Data Transfer

We are getting this for about $70/month which is much better than the $180/month I originally had found.

So if you can find something like this, then you are set

Thanks guys.

We were using iPower.com (also iPowerWeb.com), but the problem was that they are OVERSELLING THEIR SERVICE.

I was told that of the server we were on, there were a total of 500 clients using that same machine!!!!!!

Customer support seemed quick and responsive, but then NOTHING would ever get fixed! I would constantly have to make the same requests over and over until I could find someone who knew anything about computers. Yes the wait time was low to speak to customer support, but there really wasn't any support at all.

I HIGHLY recommend AGAINST iPower.com for anyone who is looking for a host.
