So i did this, and then i tried accessing it (there were numerous problems) so i go back and ask for more help...."woops" you can only access your POP3 from oulook express. So i enable this... Buy this poin the internet version is completely failed, and the POP3 keeps coming up with time-out, or some stupid errors. So i contact them again.... "your inbox is full" WHAT!!! Problems Continued... and never got it working... both sites i registered with them are companies, and so GRRR!

Anyone looking for webhosting of any sort, i would recommend researching your host on Web Hosting Talk as they are independant people, that submit their problem hosts / opinions on current host......
The only thing is, most posts on WHT are regarding bad hosting experiences.... So trying to find a good host isnt easy, but if you do a search on the hostname in their forum, and find posts, i recommend you read them to find out exactly what your host is like...
I-Web isnt on their much at all unfortunately... (or is that luckiily)... so our customers views / opinions of our services come from places like Cable Forum, and from our testimonial section on our website.
Each host is different, offering different services for different people. Make sure that the support you recieve is good, send an e-mail to
support@theirdomain.com and see how long it takes to get a response, exlain in the message (be fair) that this is just a test support message to gauge their response times. Also i would ask about things like upgrading packages... theirs nothing worse than purchasing a package to find out in 3 months time (when your website has really taken off) that your site is going to get suspended every 2 weeks because you have used up all your bandwidth. Another good thing to look for is a control panel, if you are new to having a proper hosting provider, it can often be daunting finding your way round a control panel. E-mail their sales dept, and see if they can offer you any sort of demonstration.
That should cover your basics, and ensure you get a package / company that suits you.....
