Company Information
iPage was founded in 2000 and has been committed to providing clean hosting solutions which is evident from the fact that they are 100% wind powered. That does not mean they run on wind power, they simply purchase clean energy coupons for the amount of electricity that they consume. They have over 1.5 million domains under their management and host over 1 million websites. The company has 6 offices across the globe and employs 800 people.

They provide an impressive anytime money back guarantee. If at anytime you are dissatisfied with their service you may cancel your account and will be refunded any balance that is left on your contract. Fees incurred for domain registration are taken out of the refund by iPage.

Reviews such as this are for informative purposes and should only be taken in that respect. Please ensure personal evaluation of all companies is completed before making a decision.

While a low per month cost and attractive features seem like good enough reasons to join, the lack of testimonials or awards featured on the company's website raise a few questions. However the money back guarantee allows for an escape option if required.
