No Nonsense iPage Web Hosting Review

iPage has some major advantages over other shared hosting providers in the same price range. Both email AND toll free phone support are available 24/7. They have no setup fee, even if you only want monthly billing (most cheap hosts only waive the setup fee if you pay yearly). And since they are on a Windows platform, you get both PHP/MySQL and ASP/Access with up to 5 data sources. CGI/Perl is also available, as is the ASP.NET platform. It is very difficult to find all of that being offered by another hosting provider for $7.96 per month.

The amount of disk space, bandwidth, email accounts, and FTP accounts you get with the iPage Basic Plan are far beyond the needs of the average website. You can check a couple iPage reviews to see what customers say about about the plan. The minor shortcomings of this account are that no FrontPage extensions are available, and there are no pre-installed shopping carts for Ecommerce. However, this plan can certainly be used for Ecommerce with any shopping cart that can be setup on a Windows hosting platform (shared SSL is included and private SSL certificates can be installed). The Basic Plan from iPage is by far one of the best low cost Windows hosting accounts available today.
