iPage knows that every customer has unique needs when it comes to their personal or business websites. That's why iPage strives to offer a great deal of flexibility without over-complicating things. They offer a quick start guide and website builder tutorial for beginners to help you build your first website without it looking like it's your first website.

Most customers will find everything they need to get their website started in the The iPage Essential Plan. It provides the freedom to create a website that looks and functions the way you want it to, but still includes plenty of prefabbed themes and templates so you can just click and choose how you want your website to come together. Newbies will also appreciate getting up to $250 in free marketing credit to promote their websites through major search engines like Yahoo! and Google. Plus, the Essential plan comes with 1GB of free cloud storage, so you can access your photos, videos and documents from any computer, at any time.

You can enjoy all of these hosting features, plus many more, for only $1.99/month to start at iPage. You can sign up for 1-, 2- or 3-year plans, and prices renew at the regular rate (between $10.95 - 12.95/month) once your initial contract is up. For this reason, it makes sense to lock in the introductory price for as long as possible and save yourself some serious cash. They also back up their hosting with a 30 day money-back guarantee, so you have a few weeks to test out their hosting plan and see if it's a good fit.
