Not a bad deal from them and if you're still doubting or need support, I use namecheap and their services has been top-notch too.

I'd advise you switch to dedicated hosting or VPS if the need be. I can help you host on my dedicated server if you need any support on that too.

i repeat, do not host your wordpress website on ipage hosting, especially does who use 1 account to host other sites, ipage can shut your site down anytime they like telling you all sort of lies that their scanner scan your site and find malware,the reason why they do this is if your site is getting much traffic,it affect their bandwidth and server loading time, so they use that scanning and malware trick to shut you down temporarily and wait for you to contact them, they have done this to me and my friends several times. at the end,the will tell us the scanner didnt later detect anything . by the time they do this to you highly ranked site. your site will temporarily become unavailable to google bot,and you will lose rank and google will also penalize you by deindexing your site.you are warned.

Ipage is one of the best hosting companies in the world you can use, I buy my domains on Smartweb, qservers and whogohost to patronize local market but host on ipage.

Though they don't use the popular cpanel, they are also very strict security wise with great customer support.

Well, I have been using iPage for years now.
They are okay (90 uptime) with great customer support. However, i have been noticing a steady decline in the level of their performance compared to few years/months ago.

Their affiliate programme (for the webhosting) too is now a mess, compared to before.

The choice is yours.

I got mine for 2 years at US$40.

Ipage is good. But you won't be using cpanel. You will be using vdeck. It's cool though but cpanel is a lot better.
2nd they only give access to your public_html folder, meaning you can't easily perform some stunts with it. Installing software that require higher directories is very difficult.
Ipage is a much different world of shared hosting compare to many. Try it first before you commit all your resources to it so you don't freak out at the end.

If you do not mind, I have a dedicated server that I can offer you a space on. Just tell me your recommendations and I'll see how to help out. My reseller hosting portal- www.semasir.biz is under construction though!

I use Ipage for my weight loss blog and it's been over a year now and I can tell you their services is not so good.

I've once had issues (some time back) logging into my dashboard and when I used their live chat system to talk to one of their staff, I was told their server have been attacked by malwares.

Can you imagine?

This took close to a month before it was rectified and I was vexed. Really vexed.

Though, all the issues have been solved. I still get some complaints that my site loads slowly.

On the flip side, Ipage hosting offer is quite affordable especially for beginners that don't want to spend too much money: free domain name for the first year, hosting account for 2 years for about $40 plus free facebook and Google Adwords coupons for advertising your site.

Alluring plan, right?

If you ask me: it really helped me when I started out my first blog because I was on a very low budget.

I will be renewing my domain name next month, so the blog will still be hosted on Ipage for now.

Though, if I were to recommend a web hosting company to anyone it will be Siteground.

Always note this: No web host is perfect. A good web host today could go crappy tommorow, that why they always offer Money back guarantees.

Hope this helps!
