User Testimonials
	DNSimple	iPage
Likelihood to Recommend	DNSimple When you have several DNS domains contracted with different domain providers, you must manage each domain with its corresponding provider. With the DNSimple portal we can bring together all domains in one service and manage them from its portal. In this way we can register the domains with the providers that offer us the best price at all times but we will always manage all the domains from the same portal. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	iPage I would say iPage is about average. They have WordPress and Weebly for site building along with their own version, but don't offer any others. There is no cPanel which I dislike as I use that quite often with all my other clients. iPage does have a clean user interface and is probably ideal for a small non tech savvy user.

Cons	DNSimple It only has 3 pricing plans, but they are very flexible. Domain transfers can sometimes be slow Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	iPage I think It is better and there is no area to improvement. I suggest to ipage to do work on privacy.

Alternatives Considered	DNSimple They all have similar functions, but I decided on DNSimple because of its prices and the fact that it does not have your domain "kidnapped", since you can have your domain at any time to move it to another provider. It also offers very personalized support to customers and tries to solve any problems that arise. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	iPage iPage is on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of pricing and also features. The lack of a cPanel makes it a less attractive option than almost any other company offering the same services. Also customer service and technical support are extremely frustrating and slow. I continue to use iPage only because clients have selected it for themselves and not because I chose it myself. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	DNSimple Faster management from a single portal, which saves time/money in management Centralization of all SSL certificates Redirection from http to https so we save money on updating all the links to our web pages. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	iPage It kept my business expenses down. I was only paying $24/year for my domain.
