Price Value
Lunarpages offers good pricing on their web hosting
plans. The Basic Plan, at $4.95 per month, offers 1500 GB of space and
15000 GB of traffic. This basically will cover 90% of all websites on the
market and is an excellent deal. All of the "bells and whistles" are
included, with the exception of some of the e-commerce functions. The same
holds true for those that require Windows hosting, which is offered for
only $8.95/month. In addition, Lunarpages gives you a free domain for life
on all plans as long as you host with their company.
If
you have a high-traffic website, you may want to switch to their Business
package, which for $21.95 gives you unlimited storage space and 3
Terabytes of traffic. (That's huge!)
We
understand that there are some hosts offering large bandwidth, but keep in
mind that these hosts may have other restrictions, such as file size
limit, daily bandwidth limit, or even binary files bandwidth limit
(pictures, MP3s, Flash, etc.). Lunar Pages does not have
such restrictions with your disk space and bandwidth usage.
Control Panel
Lunarpages uses CPanel as the web site control panel. It
allows you to control a lot of functions, including e-mail accounts, MySQL
databases, custom error messages, password- protected directories, setting
up forums, shopping carts, chat rooms, cron jobs, sub domains, MIME types,
apache handlers, search engine submission, free CGI scripts and many more.
You can even upload and manage your files with its powerful file manager.
Customer Support
Customer support at Lunarpages is superior and they are
very responsive to your questions. Even e-mail support questions always
get answered in a timely manner. This is very different from most other
web hosting companies out there. Accounts are set up promptly after they
verify the order with you via a direct telephone call. Lunar Pages
has excellent telephone and e-mail support. LunarForums is a very popular
forum board that willl help you through the whole process, with feedback
from direct users.
Reliability
Lunarpages has devoted a good portion of
their resources into ensuring that they provide the best reliability
possible in the current hosting market. This company provides the best
equipment available to its customers, including Dell, Sun and Cisco
Network Devices. Their datacenter is located in Los Angeles, California,
and supplies the highest level of security, safety, redundancy,
reliability, scalability and technology. They employ a BGP4 routed gigabit
fiber network that is multi-homed with over 150 carriers, such as, Mzima
Networks, Level3, NTT/Verio, Global Crossing, Genuity, SBC, Microsoft/MSN,
AOL/TimeWarner, Japan Telecom, Hurricane Electric and Savvis. They also
utilize a proprietary system called the Active Response Protocol. This
program not only monitors the system for attacks and outages, but
continuously benchmarks the system for web, ftp, and email performance -
year round - with their expert staff taking care of any problems before
they happen.
