While looking for a new web host, I noticed something very strange. Two hosting giants, FatCow and iPage, seem to be one and the same. The big giveaway was their rates pages. Compare them. ( FatCow’s page | iPage’s page ) They’re virtually identical! Even the URLs are the same! This seems very fishy to me. I know there are only a few web hosts that actually exist. All the other ones simply resell from the big companies. What I didn’t expect is that two giant companies are really the same. This fishiness, combined with the deceptive sale rates they have right now (the rate hikes up after the sale is over), means these two won’t get my business.
