iPage VPS and Dedicated Server secret revealed

So what's the secret behind? You might have surprised about the great deal and decide to purchase. But please keep reading and find more.

As we know, iPage and many of its sister brands like fatcow, ipower etc are Vdeck control panel based hosting service on Debian linux. The vdeck is inhouse developed control panel software by endurance group and only available to their own hosting brands. They might not ready to offer this control panel to VPS or dedicated server yet for any reason but it's quite rare to get cpanel option from their service. From editors interview, we finally found those servers are actually created from bluehost data centers. Means it's part of bluehost service but just offered in different terms. If we compare their server plans we'll find all server details and even price are exact the same. However, bluehost dedicated server definitely provides better price where users get 50% discount for the first term, but we just receive 20% discount from ipage for same service.

Bluehost manages total of 3 leading data centers in Utah. Based its previous stats revealed by Matt heaton, bluehost servers just took about 25% server racks so there're lots of free space for new server installation. Although hostgator has migrated their servers there, at least 30% free space left for new servers. Since bluehost was merged to EIG group, all existing facilities are totally managed by new teams. It's not a surprise to see they provide VPS and dedicated server plans on more and more sites because they want to be profitable from unused space.

So, do we recommend the ipage upgrade server plans? You might have found the price difference for initial terms. However, the promotinal price is only for the first month and you have to pay full amount after that period. In case you have business from ipage hosting and need higher hosting solutions, we don't recommend to migrate to bluehost just because you can get few bucks discount for the first month. You might have to deal with various problems during migrating to new server. Instead, you upgrade is almost automatically with ipage because their people will handle everything on behalf of you. No worries for a single failure!
