Not VPS
I have not used their VPS but I have tons of sites installed on ipowerweb.com and have only had a minor degree of difficulty - granted they aren't high volumes of traffic on either one but for the needs of the small organizations I work with they seem to work just fine.
However, the one problem I have when working with ipower is that they do not allow local LOCK TABLES by default (not global, mind you, just local), and while it doesn't prevent Drupal installs from running, it does create from 1-8 error messages on each action. I always always have to open a trouble ticket at the start of a new account to ask them to grant LOCK TABLES permissions, and it always always takes a level 2 technician to do it. I've made it habit to ask them on the phone when I open the account, then wait a good couple of hours for it to happen.
I can't imagine it would be any different for their VPS.
Thanks! I'll keep that in
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

do you have problem with 4.7 on ipower shared hosting?
I'm having problem uploading file after upgrade to 4.7.
keep getting this error message after the upload
move_uploaded_file(): Moved: '/var/tmp/phpL7vK6F' to '/var/tmp/tmp_jjjG4c' in /home/recipesh/public_html/davidhsieh/includes/file.inc on line 234.
Thanks for the LOCK TABLES tip, now max_connections
Thanks for the LOCK TABLE tip. I spent 4 hours on the phone and then waited a couple of days but managed to get LOCK TABLE access. I was able to install Drupal and start setting up a basic site.
Now I am running into a new problem, MySQL reports the following message: Too many connections.
I tried changing the connect command to pconnect and that is helping. Anyone else have an suggestions?

I'm not sure what this
I'm not sure what this vocabulary means but what I did experience from iPower is that they capped the daily database queries I was allowed to run. Start running a community website, even with a small community, and you bump into those limitations pretty quick. I seem to remember that the "too many connections" problem had to do with maybe too many database queries in a given period. Call them and ask.
I eventually dropped them and moved to ASmallOrange. Happy so far.
