the world’s leading eBusiness Website Hosting provider, has announced that it recently
hit the astounding milestone of 500,000 customer accounts served. So far, the company is
beating out industry expectations for growth for this year. IPOWER just reached the

22% over last year. Projections for industry growth for 2006 and 2007 are more than
