purchased hosting after reading positive reviews. needed only a simple 5-page web site, and saw that ipage has great prices and reviews for shared hosting. after I signed up, their service representatives walked me through setup, and I had no problem getting started- installed wordpress with one-click exactly as advertised. I'd recommend the service to anyone looking for an affordable shared hosting service. I don't know much about the technical details- so I imagine that people who want more power and more features might not be happy with this product. At the end of the day, i think its good value for money.

watch out for the fine print - they'll take your money and run! the advertised price is only good for a very limited amount of time and then they hit you with unreasonable rates not to mention their support is non existent - non existent. Do not fall for their trap - read the fine print and you'll see any other host is better!

As with the previous reviewer, the offering seemed good value and had good reviews. In reality 13 days after signing up they had still not managed to transfer the domain name or set up email and web hosting. Even when they finally transfered the Domain they could not get it set up correctly so it is still unavailable. You can phone them but you get an American who simply follows a script and has no technical knowledge or access to the system. You cannot speak to a person from tech support as they are all in India, and all communication is via their Contol Panel, ie messaging, hence the often incomprehensible language. Also staff seemed to be paid by the support ticket as when they send a message they close the ticket even if no action has been taken.

I was lookign around for some cheap web hosting and came across "iPage" seemed to be cheap enough, good reviews on we hosting reviews for 2011 etc... I signed up for a 3 year hostign package with domain inlcuded for the 3 years or so I thought. Turns out you're paying roughly £86 just for website hosting which isn't too bad I guess but not the domain name! You only get that free for 1 year, so misleading on their website. My second gripe is to get the domain name via them for 2 years in about £26 but via 123-reg is £6 mmmm.... quite a mark up there. Third if you DONT pay by creidt card you're screwed if you decide to cancel as per their t&c's and cancellation policy, which I'm not impressed about. Their online chat is a bit slow in responses and sometimes doesn't make sense in terms of English. Okay I know I'm not the best for grammer and spelling being a bit dyslexic but come on; Rob: I want to know if I cancel my policy would I get my money back Rosie Dean: You can. However, it is not possible to refund domain fee set to nordmanni.co.uk How does that relate to my question about cancelling the policy?? So just be careful is all I'm saying and much improvement required to make me happy!
