I had ipage for another business a few years ago. They used to be knowledgeable and pleasant. I therefore got it for another business in August 2020, and how I regret it!
First of all they had gone up significantly in price without any particular improvements or extra features (250 up from 30 a year); they charge for every little thing separately.
Even more importantly, there has been a bug or problem every week! In the past 3 months, I have spent more time on ipage chat to solve problems than I have on any marketing aspect of my business!
Most recently, the maps on my website for my two business locations point out to an address in a different state! It's been over a month and the issue has not been solved, after multiple follow ups.
Today after another follow up I got this incredible/horrible email:
"... Depending on the priority of the bug that is placed, the bug will be moved to an Engineer or Product Manager for work, or more often; it will be moved to a list for future work. In many cases, the product team will opt to wait for a length of time, such as 3 months, for bugs to accumulate on a given tool so that they can work with our partners to address the bugs in a new version of the tool. Please leave the business address blank to avoid displaying the incorrect Map pointer. I am afraid that we do not have the estimated time frame for the bug with the Google map location not displaying on Websitebuilder tool...

So, it turns out that not only the bug on my website has no priority to this person and the irresponsible team he or she works with, but also his/her suggestion is to "leave the business address blank"!
Why on earth I would pay to host a website if I wanted to leave my business address blank?
Such rude, irresponsible, careless and just horrible treatment of customers!
I will be moving my domain.
Don't even consider ipage! Stay away!
Don't waste your time and money. It is not even cheap anymore. It used to be called "cheap host with modest performance". It is now not cheap with horrible performance.
They are not worth a penny, let alone over $250 they have charged me so far!
