IONOS Hosting vs. iPage

Reasonable pricing (SSL certificate for only $30! vs the usual $99), ease of use on the backend and/or dashboard, and reliable customer service, all make this a win in my book. And, of course, you can't beat the free private registration that comes with each domain purchase. I've been recommending 1&1 to all my clients for domain purchases for years.

iPage is well suited for any small business owner or entrepreneur to host their domain and perhaps use the built-in Weebly drag-and-drop feature to build their site in iPage - that's what I did when I built my first ever website. I had no experience and was able to put a website together in a couple of hours. It's good for people who don't have a huge budget but still need domain hosting.

• In my opinion it is really pricey

• They do increase their pricing after the first year, but this is common of all domain hosting services
• They could update their front end to look more modern and be more user-friendly, especially for web novices

Rackspace I find to be too pricey for the service they offer. Pagely is very much WordPress oriented. I've had downtime with both that I haven't experienced with 1&1.

iPage is on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of pricing and also features. The lack of a cPanel makes it a less attractive option than almost any other company offering the same services. Also customer service and technical support are extremely frustrating and slow. I continue to use iPage only because clients have selected it for themselves and not because I chose it myself.

The scalability of the email solution far exceeds our needs and would be suitable for organizations not looking for an enterprise sized multipurpose solution (O365, Google Workspace, etc).
