iPage vDeck Control Panel Overview
This is a recently screenshot taken from iPage’s control panel. If you are used to cPanel, well iPage’s vDeck control panel looks very similar to it. If you have no experience managing a hosting account, I can tell is very simple to use and straightforward. You have access to all necessary tools and software to setup your website, create and manage your emails, upload files or check visitor statistics. Obviously there is much more to it: manage your billing, renew your account, purchase and manage domains and much more.
If you want to contact the support through email, you can do it from the control panel directly.
Conclusion
Overall iPage is a reliable and trustworthy hosting provider. You should note, though, that the Essential Plan is only suitable for small business websites. You can always upgrade your plan to VPS if your website needs more server resources, but keep in mind that shared hosting is not for every type of website. With that in mind, if you are looking to create and host your small website on a budget hosting plan, iPage is the way to go.
Overall it is a very good hosting company when it comes to hosting simple php and html websites. Websites built with their site building tool are running perfectly. But when you install wordpress and you have decent traffic on your website, you will see the speed difference. I got an account at BlueHost as well, where wordpress runs smoothly and I keep my other websites with iPage. Don’t want to complain because the price is ok and features as well, however I would not recommend buying it if you planning to build with wordpress.
I’m very impressed now about the great live chat support and the special promotion they have now. The singup process is boring but it’s quite easy and fast. The website builder is very useful tool, however it would be great if I could set up even more pages. I’m new to all these hosting and website creation things, and I’m with iPage for only couple of days but I’m already loving it!
Very please with the performance of our website and emails. Phone support is just great, always helped me with any question I had. I will recommend ipage hosting.
Fantastic support and easy to use, this is what I can say about iPage after 9 months of hosting. I did not had any problem with my site so far, so I can’t complain. Have contacted the support through live-chat and got a response in 3 minutes. I think ipage is a very good hosting company and the start-up price is also very attractive. Thumbs up for ipage!
Outstanding support, great service, super easy to get started, just how I like it. Thanks to ipage’s website builder I was able to create a website for my company without the help of a web designer. I will recommend ipage! Thanks!!1
It was the best decision for my print business when I get my first website at iPage one year ago. With this free marketing boost I was able to get few new clients right from the first day. Never had a problem with my website, so basically never contacted the tech support team, however I assume that they are also as good as the hosting service.
You have to be stupid to not buy their hosting service. For only $1.00/mo you get more than you will ever need. Have managed to set up my account and start my website in less then 30 minutes. Thumbs up for Ipage!
