iPage has been offering affordable web hosting since 1998, making it one of the longest-running budget hosting providers. Now part of the Newfold Digital family (alongside Bluehost and HostGator), iPage has maintained its focus on simplicity and accessibility. Their single shared hosting plan simplifies the decision-making process — one plan includes unlimited websites, unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth, a free domain for the first year, and a free SSL certificate. The pricing starts at $1.99/mo on long-term commitments. iPage includes a drag-and-drop website builder with hundreds of templates and integrates with WordPress for those who prefer the CMS approach. Their vDeck control panel is simpler than cPanel but covers all the basics for managing websites, email, and databases. iPage provides $200 in free advertising credits for Google and Bing, which is helpful for small businesses launching their first marketing campaigns. Support is available 24/7 via live chat and phone. While iPage delivers on affordability and simplicity, it lags behind modern competitors on performance — they still use HDD storage on some servers rather than SSDs. For users who need basic, affordable hosting for simple websites, iPage gets the job done, but performance-conscious users should consider Hostinger or Namecheap instead.
