[edit] Criticism

StartLogic has been criticized for its reliability and customer service. The attack site www.startlogicsucks.com includes 50 user-submitted complaints,^[6] and is listed as the highest-ranked unofficial site in a Google search for StartLogic.^[7] The Better Business Bureau recorded 90 complaints in the current reporting period, although most have been listed as resolved or administratively closed.^[8]

StartLogic iPowerWeb, and Blue Domino are sister companies^[9] owned by Thomas Gorny and sharing the same headquarters.^[2]^[10] The two services are largely similar, leading some to suggest that they were forked solely to escape a poor corporate image.

iPowerWeb has an unsatisfactory record with the Better Business Bureau due to unanswered complaints and a failure to respond to complaints within the Bureau's time frame. As of September of 2007, the BBB processed a total of 156 complaints against iPowerWeb within the previous 36 months. StopBadware.org has also reported^[11] that more sites hosted by iPowerWeb have wound up in their Website Clearinghouse than any other service. iPowerWeb has promised to work with StopBadware.org to solve this problem.^{[citation needed]}
