p.1 #1 · Anyone Using Ipower for web site hosting?
A month ago I received a notice my web site was not secure. Apparently Ipower (I have been with them for many years) sold to Ipage. I paid $112.35 on Sept 21 to ipage to have it made secure (it gets http// added to the site apparently). I was OK until today, and now if you try to go to my site you get an unsafe warning. I tried contacting ipower to no avail. There pages say wrong or bad address. If you do finally get there via my email, it says my passwords are wrong. What a nightmare. I am now 88. I built and maintain my own website, but this is getting very frustrating. I have been trying for an hour to fix this but I cannot get anywhere with their site. I have been told if I try to migrate to another hosting site, not all can handle my Web software which is Microsoft Expressions Web).
Thanks folks

Tonight and all day Sunday and Monday is predicted a major major flooding Nor'easter.
I will post on several forums as I am not sure where this belongs

I am very happy to report my web site is now "SAFE". Also my web site email now works (no thanks to Ipage). I FINALLY got to Instant Chat by doing the following: I went to the Financial Section, changed from automatic billing, and deleted my Credit Card on file with them. Their site kept warning me I needed to insert valid credit card number information. I kept ignoring the warning, and it must have triggered an "INSTANT CHAT" window. I have been trying to get access to this feature forever. It must have rung a bell with them that I was going to hit them in the wallet. I told my frustration about the SSL problem that I paid for, and made my site unsafe. I was chatting with a Financial Person, but they said if I held on for several minutes they would consult with a Tech Person. I did hold, and when he came back he said it should be fixed within 0 to 9 hours. About 9 or 10 hours later my web site was secure with no warnings. I fixed my email almost by accident. While trying to fix it I tried logging in to Ipower (the old hosting company before they sold it to Ipage) and noticed an alternate log in to "Roundcube". When I hit this it took me to a log in page to my old email. I gave my password and it took me to my old website email (BUT VERY DIFFERENT interface).
I now pay $112.35 for Domain Validated SSL per year. My Web Site cost is $594.67 for two years, due again Feb 22 2026. Is this high, low or average in your opinion? My web site is plain vanilla. No music, or slide shows, and no ability to order and pay for prints.

Dave, I feel your pain.
I am now an iPower "customer" since my original hosting provider was bought out by Network Solutions.
I have been mostly unhappy with my experience so far.
My site is currently down. I cannot get to any login screen for the hosting site to even check on things. There is NO human support at all anymore.
I am looking for another lower-cost hosting solution that is NOT GoDaddy. I don't need the giant bill for the low traffic I generate but I also like the "unlimited" model they have so if I something happened I would not go broke paying for electrons.
