IPOWER, Inc., a web hosting provider for small businesses, yesterday announced that it has received web site hosting awards from two  online web hosting directories on the same day - January 13.

FindMyHost has given IPOWER its Editor's Choice Award for Budget Web Hosting for January 2006 and Webhostdirectory has listed IPOWER as one of the top web hosting award winners for Ecommerce Web Hosting for January 2006. Webhostdirectory's award for Ecommerce Web Hosting was selected on behalf of the visitors to the site and was approved by the company's review board.

"IPOWER has proven to be a leader not only in price, but in quality of service, support and value," said Chris Henning, President and Founder of FindMyHost. "You will be hard-pressed to find such a professional solution at such an affordable price."

"IPOWER was chosen as an award-winning web host by our visitors because of their powerful and scaleable hosting plans, which are suitable for SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) sites to growing business websites, along with their commitment to providing all the features and support that both novice users and experienced designers alike are demanding today," said Lee Brant, Account Manager, Webhostdirectory.

"This is an excellent way to start off 2006," said T. Griffin Conrad, EVP and VP of Marketing for IPOWER. "It is great to be recognized for all the hard work in operational improvements we made in the areas of customer service and product development last year."
