IPage are totally incompetent and their server is down every 2 days.
In the last 3 days I have spent over 19 hours trying to convince them their server has a problem.
Only look at this transcript:
____
IPage: Hi Petria, how are you today?
Petria: not so great.
Petria: I have problems with your server
Petria: I reported this problem also yesterday
Petria: it is intermitent
Petria: do you know what intermitent means?
IPage: Yes.
IPage: What exactly seems to be the issue?
Petria: how can we diagnose this kind of problem?
Petria: I have an exe file
Petria: uploaded here:
Petria: http://www.bionixwallpaper.com/downloads/Bionix%20Desktop%20Wallpaper%20Changer/BioniX%20Wallpaper%20Setup.exe
Petria: the users reported in the last days that they get incomplete downloads.
Petria: indeed TODAY, about 40 minutes ago I also got two incomplete downloads
IPage: Let me check.
Petria: I got them yesterday also
Petria: at 16:51 today (my time) the download had only 12.8 MB
IPage: Yes, I tried and the file downloaded already.
Petria: then again only 6.4 MB
Petria: what size?
IPage: The download is depends on your Internet connection. You can contact Internet Service Provider to check issue.
IPage: There is no filesize limit to download.
Petria: I never said that
IPage: If small filesize means download immediately. Otherwise it takes time.
IPage: The download is not incomplete.
Petria: I never spoke about time/speed either
IPage: Okay.
IPage: I can understand.
Petria: DID YOU ACTUALLY READ THE TEXT ABOVE?
IPage: Yes, I am sorry.
Petria: do you understand my problem?
Petria: do you have technical expertize to help me with this?
IPage: You are saying that you can see file size difference right?
IPage: Yes, I understand your inquiry.
Petria: Good I got fucking pissed about it!
IPage: Petria, I am really sorry about this issue.
Petria: I keep contacting you in the last two days and I gut bull shit answers like the one above
Petria: > You are saying that you can see file size difference right?
Petria: God! yes, finally!
IPage: No, I cannot see filesize difference.
Petria: I got different sizes
Petria: I made 9 downlaods in the last hour
IPage: I can see filesze 13.5 MB is downloaded.
Petria: over 50 in the last 2 days
Petria: and I keep telling you there is a problem, but your support stuff is too incompentent to understand this
Petria: and don't tell me is my ISP
Petria: I got reports from users!
Petria: they are all over the world
Petria: please let me know if you still think is my isp or we can continue
Petria: I can send you a screenshot with my donwnloads
Petria: to see the size of each download
Petria: and I also have some emails from customers
IPage: Yes, please upload a screenshot to account and let me know filename
Petria: the problem started 2 days ago when your server was down
IPage: Okay.
IPage: I can forward issue to technical specialists to check it. Can you please provide us a screenshot?
Petria: i already sent one yesterday, but I will do it again. anything to convince you that your server got into a glithc two days ago

Petria: again... IPS problems is aout of question since I got reports from users.
Petria: I also have this reproduced in a diff computer
Petria: so. it is not local and coincides with your server failure 2 days ago
IPage: yes, I am checking it. This need to be check by technical specialists. Let me create a support ticket. Please hold on.
IPage: Thank you for holding.
IPage: Our technical specialists will be investigating further on the issue. I have also hand over all my findings to that specialist. You should be hearing from them within 2-4 hours.
IPage: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
___
Their 'specialist' did fucking nothing! More chats like this to follow. No solution from iPage.
So, I tried to convince them to give my money back but the refuse to say what it the procedure, how to apply for a refund.
I am moving to BlueHost now.
A big and sincere FUCK YOU iPage.com

You want to do amateur or power-level computing? Then there is no other choice than Windows! Period. As a Windows user you don't have to spend tons of a money for a Mac PC (sorry Mac guys but Mac is nothing else than an expensive PC now) and you don't have to waste time on forums to learn how install stuff. All that Linux/Mac can offer you can get on Windows and get is better. I spent many years working with Linux but it was always only my second choice. Sorry Linux friends, but I said it.
