iPage and Hostgator are managed by EIG now alongwith other more 50 web hosting companies, you can check EIG's wikipedia page.

Fun fact: All EIG-Brand Hosting Companies utilize BetterLinux, an operating system specifically developed to maximize server density. By utilizing BetterLinux they are able to house 15 times as many accounts on one server than they would be able to without. However, I can tell you this and vouch for it... BetterLinux is not a better linux.

I have been with iPage for 3 years now and I haven't had a single problem with them so far. Their support is outstanding in my opinion. The only drawback is the fact that you can't install 3rd party SSL certificates on shared Web Hosting packages.

I was with Ipage when I first started.

I built a pretty bulky site and the load speeds were 20 seconds per page!!!

I figured I was just a novice and stayed with Ipage for 2 years. In that time I learned everything about speeding up a site you could possibly learn. After doing everything, leveraging browser cache, modifying .htaccess, optimizing images down to 15kb (yeah that's right, HQ images down to 15 kb), and blah blah blah

Ipage was still loading my site at 7-8 seconds. NO GOOD

I cussed out the theme developer and all along it was Ipage. As soon as I switched my hosting to Site5, 1-2 seconds load times.

Beautiful!

Needless to say, I will NEVER roll with Ipage again. Ipage is horrible IMHO

oh I didn't know this information, so they are owned by EIG company?

This point made me more disappointed. I have never used web hosts that loading more than 5s.
BTW, Thanks for your information.

Yes absolutely. I was very upset when they bought Hostgator because Hostgator used to be my "go-to".

Yes and always make sure that you check to see if another company you are considering is also owned by EIG because they control over 60 hosting brands, you can view [URLnf=http://www.linux-depot.com/non-endurance-international-group-eig-hosting/]here[/URLnf]
