    On 19 Jan 2014 I have purchased iPage hosting plan for $1.89/month! (It was a quagmire for a Greedy like me!) And transferred my domain from Godaddy to iPage (As Godaddy priced little bit high). It snatched nearly 7 days to get the transfer in the bag!
    I have strived more than 2days to get my site up in consequence! and didn’t go through!! I have settled to pull my head back and reached customer service for cancellation of hosting and refund in the Cooling-Off period. One of the agent agreed to refund the payment within 10 working days and given me the freedom to keep my Domain with iPage for free of cost until it expires! And I would get full refund in 10 working days.
    15days later, with zero about the refund, I knocked customer service again wasting my One and half hours! Finally they said “Sorry for providing incorrect information earlier by our previous chat agent. I really apologize for it.” What to say? **** ***?
    The experience was really disappointed!! They were eating my brain literally!
    iPage claimed for the Ownership of my domain for refund of $14.40 USD hosting fee!!! Interesting? Go ahead if you want to lose your domain. Upon demand, I am happy to forward you the chat transcript I have with some of the agents of iPage, It will make you laugh. ( I think iPage is an Asian owned hosting provider) I indubitable, you will get mad while you chatting with an agent for support/refund!! Please don’t trust iPage advertisements flings thousands of pounds rather providing least possible service to customers!
    I am one of the victims!!
    Please don’t kill your Domain for couple of penny! Stay away from iPage.com Rubbish!!!!!

    I can’t agree with the 3th place of IPage. My domain is registred with them but as soon as my agreement will end I’ll migrate to another hosting company.
    All operations are extremely slow, the overal speed of the frontend is under any expectations and the mail security certificates give more problems then solutions.
    IMHO iPage is the worst hosting service that I can think of.

    I agree, good hosting services as I have a few dot com’s with them but my latest Joomla website runs way too slow (> 1 minute to load). Tried contacting support (submit tickets, online chat, phone calls, etc…) numerous times and they are sub-standard at best! Keep telling me the engineers have been notified and are working on the problem but it never gets any better, for Joomla, stay away!

    Too bad I really like the company otherwise.

    This host is not optimized for Joomla. My site both front and backend were very slow. If you are working on the site, editing and all, will take 10 sec. per to get everything saved. Very slow indeed for a Joomla based site.

    Everything else is okey. Support and price both excellent for personal sites.
