About iPage • http://www.ipage.com

While iPage is a relative newcomer to the web hosting industry, it hit the ground running in 1998 and hasn’t looked back. They now serve over one million web sites operated by clients in more than 150 countries and have more than 800 employees in six locations worldwide. The company is headquartered in the vibrant hi-tech region of Boston, MA and runs 800 servers out of its two data-centers that are also located in the Boston area.

iPage has become very successful by offering an easy to use and reliable web hosting package that is also backed by excellent customer support. Both data centers run Cisco routers using BGP4 protocol, and the servers are arranged in pooled-server architecture for increased speed and reliability. The servers are connected to the Internet using multiple OC-48 connections on diverse backbones. The data centers also feature N+1 redundancy on all major systems including HVAC and power supply—iPage runs UPS power backup along with diesel generators—and are protected by 24/7 security. The servers are also monitored 24/7 so that any problems can be addressed before they cause an interruption of service.

Well what a dissapointment. After leaving my last hosting company because of performance issues I did my homework and iPageg seemed to be a good bet. How wrong I was. The website is down frequently, I dont check it that often so the fact I frequently find it is down suggests its probably down more often that its up. When it is up it frequently loads very slowly. Tech support told me that a 4 second load time was acceptable for a page which kind of tells me Im with the wrong company. 4 seconds is good compared to normal iPage load times btw but wholly unacceptable IMO. I'm losing custom, paying for clicks which don't make it to my site and for good measure being ignored then patronised by their support - NOT happy. AVOID THIS HOSTING COMPANY, I WISH I HAD.

Hi ! Like a lot of people I looked on the web and stupidly fell for the rhetorical reviews listed on the main Google listings regarding the service I page provide. As a novice I got sucked in by the rhetoric. First of all I paid for a jump start service costing nearly $15 if you include the VAT. This involves (i page) setting up a temporary card and email for you while you are getting you site sorted. This never happened, they never did it. Then having access to the control panel found out that the automatic billing for renewal doubles the cost the following year. There is no mention of this on the sign up. When trying to call you on the phone I was often left for some considerable time prior to getting an answer. Most of the services like fast data and security software are billed separate which is not clear on the site 100% money back guaranteed promise. If you want to use the Weebly software on the site you can have 6 pages but to upgrade it will cost you nearly �15 month for this on the I page site �Extortion� as you can get a Free 6 page site and upgrade direct from Weebly much cheaper It cost me $119 in total with jumpstart service and security software and having been totally disgusted by the service for the above reasons requested a refund. They sent back 20:86. They can argue the small print all they like, the fact is that they have taken $98 of my money and I am now left with very little for it. I no longer want anything to do with this company there business morals are appalling.
