iPage offers world-class website building solutions with plenty of perks and incentives for individuals and business owners to establish an online presence. With no prior design or HTML code experience required, iPage’s drag-and-drop interface makes it surprisingly easy for you to design, publish and promote your own website.

All of the necessary tools, apps and services are conveniently tied into one powerful, simple solution, making it easy to add blog software and photo galleries with the click of a button. Building online stores that prominently feature your products and services is also a breeze with iPage. Basically, iPage takes the heavy lifting out of website building, allowing you to focus on whatever it is that you do best.

Ease of Use

iPage’s drag-and-drop site builder allows you to design and build your site without any painstaking HTML coding. It’s completely template-based, so you’ll start by choosing from iPage’s library of beautiful layouts. Then you can drag and drop various design elements to personalize your site, like changing colors and backgrounds, adding pages or picking images from the site’s photo gallery. If you’re not sure where to start, you can use iPage’s wizards to walk you through setups to make it as simple as possible to put your site together just the way you want it. Templates are fully customizable, so you can accept the default settings and colors, or modify any aspect of the template to give it your own special touch. iPage offers extensive customer support options and resources in case you need help with design, hosting, marketing or anything related to your website building experience.

Website Building

Building your website should be incredibly easy, thanks to iPage’s template-based site builder, which gives you the perfect foundation to create and customize your site. With drag-and-drop functionality, you can quickly tailor your site without learning code or outsourcing your design to a third party. As part of your package, you’ll also receive a personalized domain name for one year, web hosting control panel, enhanced security suites, 24/7 network monitoring and visitor and traffic reporting so you can keep track of which pages and products are attracting the most attention.

Your iPage website solution also comes with the ability to send and receive emails from an unlimited number of email accounts, with a WebMail option in case you want to access your emails from a browser. It also includes mail forwarding, autoresponders, customizable spam filters and virus checking.

Hosting

iPage provides flexible hosting options that can be adjusted to suit your particular demands. By pooling its resources across numerous customers, the Shared hosting plan would likely suffice for many smaller-sized websites. Costs are lower than dedicated and VPS hosting packages and require less configuration, though you’ll still receive 24/7 customer support. VPS hosts a smaller pool of customers, adding improved control and performance over the shared hosting option. Finally, the Dedicated server option offers even higher performance, allowing top-tier customers extended security, speed and performance. All hosting packages include 24/7 support from iPage’s expert support staff.

The iPlayBook is a very handy iPage tool that gives you tremendous insight into effective marketing techniques in the web industry that can maximize online exposure and increase business revenue. iPage’s articles are very relevant to today’s online businesses and can help any entrepreneur navigate the world of eCommerce.

I used ipage initially, then switched to godaddy for the better price. All in all, Ipage was a lot easier to use and had a more intuitive interface in regards to web design tools. I may go back to them soon..

Submitted by Charlie Pate

Worked fine but there was no tech support for the few times I needed it.

Submitted by Ronnie S.

My initial contact with Genevie in sales was informative and educational. She is what customer support should be. Unfortunately I cannot use iPage Open Exchange email program because employee's are not allowed to change password for privacy. It has to be set by administration. We have board members who not approve of administration having passwords.

Submitted by Paladin Roy

Been with them over 3 years now. And truly, the best hosting out there, with the best tech support, and ease of use I've seen in several hosts I've tried. No turning back for me :)

Great company! I have been using them for 2 years. Best customer support I have ever had.

Submitted by Michael Dahlke

I've been using them for a year (switched from godaddy) and have had an excellent experience. Support issues had been resolved within 12 hours (usually within 3-4 hours) and is great on your wallet!

Submitted by Victor K

Their customer support was so helpful. Overall iPage is a great value for your money.

Submitted by Dixon Phillips

Have used iPage for almost two years now and am completely satisfied after having been disappointed with some of the other major names.

Submitted by Leslie Bradford

I have two sites hosted by iPage, and I'm very happy to have chosen this host. The tech department is quick to respond to any and all questions. They have taken time and 'gone the extra mile' to help me. The hosting cost is well within my budget. I use Macs and Rapidweaver, which, is completely compatible with iPage hosting. I highly recommend iPage for all hosting and support needs.

Submitted by Rebecca Taylor

Most iPage features and functions were understandable for me. Those that weren't were quickly addressed through one of their help and support options. This saves me time and spares me frustration. I appreciate that. Thanks

I have used IPage for about two years now and I am very pleased with the customer support and tech support, and I do not think in that time my web page has been down once in that time.

Perfect for first timers. I didn't want to spend too much money on my first site since I'm so new at this. Ipage let me get my site up quickly and easily for close to nothing.

Submitted by Joshua Drean

I love iPage! I hired someone to build a website for me for a few hundred dollars and it ended up not working out. I found iPage and was so happy because I got a better site and for practically free!
