@shahmnd As strange as it sounds, iPage is owned by the same parent company as Hostgator - Endurance International Group (EIG). If you Google EIG you’ll see that they don’t necessarily have a stellar reputation in their space.
Going back to your point about market prices, in the hosting space it’s quite common for a large parent company to spin off smaller brands to capture more of the market and make it so that when customers switch hosts due to satisfaction issues, they end up going with another property of the parent company.
As far as VPS service goes - I personally have been using KnownHost for around two years now and they are amazing. Namecheap also offers excellent hosting at affordable prices.
Keep in mind that pricing should not be the only factor in your decision to choose a host. You need to evaluate the quality of service also. Unfortunately this can involve some legwork and trial and error.
