. Hosting is one of those services where you have what feels like millions of options, and you never know which to choose. I stumbled upon a gold mine though when I found iPage and I've stuck with it ever since because it's simply the best value around. iPage offers a wide variety of hosting options that allows you to create your own website with ease, and customize it as much as you'd like, and their support is extremely hard to beat. The Price: $3.50 ($1.99 even with promotions)

When I started my first website for my new business, I was nearly new to the web, and iPage's easy site builder served me amicably in getting my site to look good quickly. Even more than 10 years later, I've advanced, and iPage has helped me scale my sites and business very easily, which is impressive for such a cheap hosting company.

They have the absolute best hosting support I've tried (I use three different hosts for different things, but iPage {takes the cake|is the best|takes the gold medal), and their hosting is often more reliable than my other main host, Godaddy. I don't take spending money lightly, but thankfully iPage offers a money-back guarantee (which I have never had to use) so I never even worried about trying them. iPage's support, reliability, and ease-of-use make them one of the best web hosts out there for small businesses, and I've never regretted anything since I started hosting with them.

PROS:

Reliably Fast Hosting:

iPage has had more uptime for me than GoDaddy, and my sites are consistently fast, which is more than you get from many hosting companies.

Simple Pricing Structure:

The pricing structure for iPage couldn't be easier to manage. One price. There's no deciding between three different hosting plans that all seem similar, because iPage has simplified it, and what they're offering is a pretty sweet deal too.

Great Support:

iPage support staff are from the good old USA (or at least this continent) and they're friendly 24/7. They probably have the best support for their price out of any hosting company around, and that simplified product line means that every agent only has to support one product, and they are very familiar with everything in the package.

Money Back Guarantee:

It's a small gesture offering a 100% Money back Guarantee, but it's a nice security net, and I like having it just in case.

CONS:

Not Too Many Options For Scalability Beyond A Certain Point:

iPage sticks to what they're good at - basic website hosting. If your website grows large enough that you'd like a virtual private server, or dedicated server (a very large site- but it happens) you'll have to move elsewhere because iPage only offers one form of web hosting. It's cheap web hosting because they keep their product line simple and easy to manage. If your website is very large, you may want to keep this in mind.

For the past five years, my website has only been down twice, compared to an average of twice a year on GoDaddy, and both issues were resolved very quickly. The support team takes great care of me. I have yet to run into anything less than unlimited on storage and bandwidth. There's a limit somewhere, but I haven't hit it. Their site builder is excellent for beginners, but they still offer WordPress and other apps just like any larger web host. It’s not the absolute best web hosting that money can buy, but for the price, it would be a great value, and I'm very happy with iPage Hosting.

Conclusion:

There are many good hosting companies, but there are also plenty of bad ones, and if you want a amazing host without the hassle of plans, and upgrading, and constant nickel-and-diming, go with iPage. Remember that with hosting you get what you pay for, and you can't expect top notch, flawless hosting for $3.50 a month, but iPage offers a lot more than most hosts for that price. They offer service, value and quality that I've been very happy with, and their one and only plan is perfect for small businesses.
