Ipage has the slowest customer service response time. Ipage has slowest and worst customer service. My website was down for like 3 days and it took them 3 days to fix the dam small website that barely has any contents. Agents take forever to respond when I need to chat with them.
All the good reviews they have are PAID MARKETINGS. ipage also has 2 mb upload limit… which makes it impossible to build even a decent website. They also have 60 sec execution time which makes so that even if they increase it to 10 mb upload size limit, you can only upload 2mb in the end with the execution time limit. Oh and default is 2mb size limit… you have to ask and beg them to lift it to 10 mb. It's ridiculous. Do not use ipage hosting service. DO not use their sister company ipower either.
They are basically same company (ipage and ipower). I paid about 80 bucks and they will only return like 20 something dollars. I am going to wait until my time is up then canceling it. All the savvy programmers and web developers told me to stay away from ipage hosting but it was too late… b/c i already signed up before they gave me the advice…
Oh and not to mention, my website was down like every other day even with barely having any content on it. (home page with banner and one blog comment…)
If you are serious about building a website, don’t use ipage nor ipower.
Their unlimit marketing is obviously a lie. It’s super limited and they cut you off anytime they feel like it. Do not get suckered into their paid marketing review. They pay to websites to have good ratings…
“ipage and ipower are Verry bad Hosting company!
