Ipage or Hostgator?

How about giving some more details on your sites...

Both are now owned & operated by the same company...do your research...

HG has excellent customer services.

Hostgator is pretty good. realiable servers..always up and site speed is good.

Hey Friend,
That depends on many things.
If money is a concern, then you should go with ipage.
But hostgator seems to be more reliable.
Also, I would like to mention one more thing, Hostgator user cpanel as the admin panel but ipage uses cPanel in VPS and Dedicated hosting servers but in Shared hosting, they use their own customized control panel powered by vDeck.
Now, being a newbie, cpanel is easy to understand and good to work on.
But this is not so with vDeck, though it is good for keyword research and seo etc., but difficult to work with as compared to cpanel.
And talking about the other benefits, if you hail from US or canada, only then you can redeem the $100 adwords coupon availed by ipage and with hostgator, you need to spend $25 to redeem $100 adwords coupon.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

I am satisfied with Hostgator service, there are support 24/7 that available.

They are both owned by the same company. I have HG and pay $300 per year. Please do not get me started on poor service. Also, I have the $1 per month I page. Well, so far so good, but we will see. Maybe people on this forum remember the old HG from years ago. They use to be in cypress creek near me. Fellows, those days are over.

Hello,

Both HostGator and iPage have been in the business of web hosting for some time, and both have an excellent reputation in the industry. In fact, it might be hard to choose one of these stellar companies over the other for your own web hosting needs. However, when it comes to closely examining the features and service that comes with each web hosting package, the differences become more clear. We will take a look at both HostGator and iPage to see which company might be best equipped to meet the unique needs of your company.

Both iPage and HostGator provide green web hosting. HostGator has their customized version of cPanel as their interface and utilizes Fantastico to install applications, while iPage has their own control panel. HostGator's cPanel give you access to more options, but the iPage control panel seems to be more user-friendly.

Performance-wise, HostGator offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee. On the other hand, for me personally, iPage seemed to provide better site load times. And while both web hosting companies provide good value, iPage will cost you much less than what you'll have to pay at HostGator to get the comparable features.

Have a nice day

HostGator definitely has better customer service than iPage, but it depends on what you're looking for. What kind of website are you planning on hosting, what features do you need, how much traffic are you expecting, etc.

Hostgator works for me and I think it should does the same with you too though I am not familiar with iPage so my answer could be bias at all.

They are all owned by the same company so their quality should be the same. But however their service is not. To be honest, many people praise HostGator and recommend it because of the high affiliate commissions HostGator pays out. The same holds for Aweber. People promote it only for this reason, and over a period of time, because of a large number of people promoting it, these services get the reputation of being the best in the industry. This clearly is not the case.

I would recommend you check out JustHost for shared hosting. They are owned by the same parent company as HostGator. They are cheaper and have a better cPanel than HostGator. Their support is also great.

VPS or dedicated hosting is better than shared hosting, but is more expensive if you buy from the big companies. If you want to go VPS then you can severely cut down on your hosting fee by picking an unmanaged hosting. This will mean you have no cPanel at all, but the cost of hosting will be $2/Month as opposed to $30/Month for managed VPS hosting in HostGator or JustHost. You can check out your unmanaged VPS hosting providers in lowendbox.com. They review the various vps hosting providers. But remember that unmanaged hosting will come at an additional learning curve. But it sure is worth it in the long run.

Been using Hostgator for 7+ years. Sometimes have issues with them but they get resolved fast.

I came up with a short list of shared hosting providers that seem reasonable and don't get many bad reviews:
Glowhost
Frog Host - Web Hosting
Site5 Web Hosting
Siteground
JaguarPC
Arvixe
PacificHost

I moved several of my sites to Glowhost, because they seemed to be the best deal for me. They handled the relocation of more than 20 sites without a glitch, no downtime.

Hostgator, Hostmonster, Bluehost, Ipage, JustHost and FatCow are all heavily promoted hosts that are owned by EIG and are all hosted in the same datacenter owned by EIG and are quickly gaining a reputation for bad customer service and lousy performance.
See a complete list of EIG sites [to stay away from] here:
Endurance International Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Get the "baby plan" on hostgator. Also, google for coupons. This way you can get hosting for $0.01 the first month :-)

Hostgator = iPage = same company. And they're terrible.

This forum seems to be getting amnesia again. See my quote below. HG screwed THOUSANDS of customers since May 2013. Tens of thousands of sites are running slow, have errors, etc.

The people who think HG is "fine" likely have no experience with better hosts. They think that support is excellent, when it ACTUALLY slow and unnecessary. Or that servers are "fast" when ACTUALLY they're slow. They've been bamboozled by too much BS, between the fake "top 10" affiliate sites, and EIG itself. Most NEVER test their sites, and just ASSUME all is well.

There are many better hosts to choose from. Use one!

Kingfish - I had a bad experience with Arvixe, and honestly I have never heard of the rest of them which is a real risk too. It's no fun when your hosting company suddenly goes out of business taking your websites with them. That type of risk is low with the EIG hosts. If your looking for a non EIG host that has decent shared accounts I'd say www.certifiedhosting.com. I have been a customer for 7 years or more now and they also have cheap reseller packages starting at $20 a month.

I've been using Hostgator practically since they started and haven't had many problems plus their tech support is fast.

Then you simply move your site somewhere else which is a much better situation than your sites being suddenly turned off and never coming back up.

But the overall point I am trying to make is that a $25 account at iPage will buy you 2 years of hosting plus one year of domain name registration fees. The service will be no better or no worse than any of the other EIG hosts or any of the other non EIG mass market hosts. Their tech support is good and toll free. For someone starting out it is a good deal. However, once you reach the point where your making some money you need to upgrade to VPS somewhere to get better performance and a better user experience.

Hostgator is definitely better. I have used hostgator for a number of years and from my experiences hostgator is a great host. There servers are top notch so I have never had one of my sites go down or lose up time. I haven't personally used ipage before but have heard that it can be a little unreliable when its comes to overworking your servers.

I think Both Ipage and Hostgator is under one parent company i.e EIG. So, Both are now same.

I gotta go with Hostgator. The tools they give you to get setup and running are awesome. Plus many marketers prefer Hostgator, and design products and video trainings using it.

Over the last 2 days my site on hostgator went in migration. It went up and down 9 times in less than 24 hours ( According to my website monitoring service )

Hi,

I used HostGator and never had any problems. Easy CPanel system. If you have never used a CPanel before, it won't take you long to get it!

I use froghost.com I know silly name, but they're great, support is really good too, im not affiliated with them, just a happy customer, they got a sale right now now too, im paying like $7 a month, for month-to-month hosting,

I might be the only one to shift from HG to ipage. Well, when HG gets problems, you are still helpless as other hostings. I conclude that we can't be too trusted with hostings, and need to take care of our business ourselves like backup, put money sites in different hosting, etc. I got business plan on HG, and when point domain there, and the speed of loading sits, HG is actually slower.

For cpanel, well, I am not an expert in cpanel, but vdeck is not hard to understand. and it's easier to point to directories than upload files to other directories if you have a site that is big and you are hardworking at revamping it. If you believe in take care of your business yourself, for $1 a month, I can't blame anything and I don't like add-on domains, it messes me up. In ipage, you just point your domain there and point to your folder. it's not perfect, but for 1, it is far worth than it. For Customer service, well, I have waited 2 hours in HG, so far ipage hasn't surpassed the record.......

And I am not techie, so I don't need so many codes and scripts, I focus on marketing and making money, so it's enough for me. BTW, I get hawkhost and another HG account as well. if you are a simple marketer like me, ipage is enough for you to start out. if you really get tons of traffic or hide your origin (mostly for CPA I guess), then you need vps and dedicated server, shared hosting, is shared and it does the job for $1. It's not perfect, but paying less itself makes me happy.

Hostgator is good as compare to ipage.

I use host gator and three others. The three I use all have videos for you to view so as to make a good decision of the host right for you. see below

hostgator is definitely better-been with both actually

I'm looking for alternatives but I can tell you this, Hostgator USED to be good, now it is awful! today I found out that the deleted 2 of my sites and they have no clue of what happened! before this I had many problems like they suspended my sites until I install a plugin that later they ask me to remove so my sites can run correctly, my sites where down, then slow, then having 500 errors...
