iPage is perfect for my needs. I run various websites on Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal, as well as some older flash projects. iPage hosts all of them and never gives me the slightest reason for an objection. Uptime and support are OK. Performance is not like having your own server, but hey – I’d never expect that when subscribing to a budget hosting plan. Both (cheap hosting plan and your own expensive server) have pros and cons, but regarding the time exposure for setup and administration of my own webserver, I’d always go with the latter, and that means with iPage. Their overall package for less than $4 is an EXCEPTIONAL SNAP.

Friendly and useful staff made my experience with them very pleasant. Price was pretty good, and technical characteristics were competitive. They also supply a nice marketing packaging worth two hundred dollars for free, and include a nice designer package for free. Their control panel was so easy to learn, that I got a chance to experiment with a lot of settings. And when I messed them up, tech support helped change them back to default. The whole time with them was just so smooth, that I recommended them to everyone I know. I have no regrets signing up with this company. You site is guaranteed to stay online all the time and not give you any errors messages. My advice – go with them.

Ipage is a really user friendly hosting company. Tons of customizable templates are available to make the fine quality web building for your website. This web hosting company offerings unlimited space, bandwidth and free domain as the standard service of a web host. It also has spam scanning business verification and online security part of the hosting plans. Ipage hosting is echo-friendly. It uses wind powered energy to run the services. That will prevent the release of 2,660 metric tons of carbon fuel each year and provides you with a green website. Ipage will serve you with the first and the fastest machine available. It will give you more redundancy and fewer service interruptions.

Ipage has very competitive plans and from the first moment on I felt comfortable being a customer there. Prices are low but that seems to have no impact on the quality of service. There’s always a savvy person to help in case of problems, and uptime is great.

I have chosen iPage hosting to host my 12 websites. Here I would like to share my honest review about this hosting.
Advantages:
1. Security impressed me most. I suffered from bad down time due to hacking of my previous hosting. However, after I changed to iPage, the hosting is secure and I have no more troubles. iPage also provides an enhanced security suite with daily malware and spam canning and 24x 7 network monitoring.
As my websites are mainly using wordpress script, I found it is very secure installing wordpress script using the iPage script installation.
2. Second point is technical customer service. They give quite prompt reply and they also provide 24 x 7 customer support. The technical support also has professional technical knowledge. I have faced problem in transferring my websites (using wordpress script) to iPage. Finally, I managed to transfer with the help of the support with step by step guide through chatting.
3. Price is another good merit to me. The price is very affordable with the features of unlimited domains, disk space, bandwidth and mysql database. If you are like me that building many micro niches site, this is perfect to bring down your costs.
4. Green hosting is another reason why I chose this hosting. This is because I hope to contribute a little to the environment.
Disadvantage:
I think the FAQ section is not clear enough. I have faced problems with transferring my wordpress driven websites to iPage at the beginning. This is because they only allow wordpress install through their secure script installation. If the website is manually transferred by ftp uploading to the hosting, there is a problem of log into wordpress admin. The correct way is to install the core wordpress script through their script installation and then ftp upload the other add ons files. It finally solved with the help of iPage technical support. But hey – safety first!
Overall, iPage is a very good and reliable hosting with very good technical support. The Uptime is also quite satisfactory. I highly recommended this hosting to anyone who is looking for low cost but good and reliable hosting.

I’ve been with this company for over three year now and I have no complains. I went with iPage because they are an established company, and online reviews were quite positive. Prices are reasonable – a bit high compared to their competition, but in return you get excellent customer service, knowledgeable tech support and etc. The whole green thing did not appeal to me, it made more concerned. I mean, what if those wind turbines break?!
According to stats from the admin panel, 404 errors never occurred. They also offer a refund anytime during the service, which is better than other companies out there. In addition, they provide a lot of popular scripts and engines to get the website up and running. On top of that, they give $200 credit with Google, Yahoo and other online companies. I would highly recommend anyone to go with this company.

Although Ipage have been around since 1998, they were not as popular as other competitors.
However, they constantly improved themselves throughout these years and the progress with efforts is the main driving factor made me have a shot with them.
Overall, I can say that I’m pretty satisfied with their service. At $3.50 per month with a free domain, unlimited bandwidth and disk space, it is almost everything that any web master could ever hope for. The sever speed is good and uptime is considered average.
The only thing that I wish they could provide for is Cpanel instead of their custom control panel. Maybe I should say I am more familiar to Cpanel instead.

Ipage has great prices even if you sign up for 1 year only. You’ll even get a free domain name for $3.50. So I think they offer the best value for their price, while others tend to grant special discounts only if you sign up for 3 or more years. I went through all these ‘unlimited’ plan features and ipage seemed to be best, so I signed up. I’m glad it was the right decision for me, as setup was easy and they offer a fantastic variety of tools and control features. And their hosting works – it’s up and running. What I personally like most about them is that they went GREEN: Their servers are 100% powered by wind energy and you can show that by placing a ‘green certificate’ badge on your website.
