How Soon Can My Website Goes Online With Lunarpages?

September 30th, 2008 @ 1:30 am Tagged with , ,



Basically once you have clear the payment, almost immediately your website can go online.

The process works like this:
First you pick the hosting plan. For example the Basic Plan for one year subscription. Then you will need to fill up a subscription form which takes you more or less 15 minutes. Once you complete your subscriptions form, it will lead you to the payment page. A total of $59.40 will be charged to you (1 year fee). Once the payment is processed successfully, you will get an email with your critical information. By then, you are ready to upload your files. You could now either upload your files through the cPanel or through FTP software. Simply connect to your hosting with your username and password. You can start uploading your files into a folder named public_html.

If you are moving from other hosting to Lunarpages, once you get your critical information, you need to change the DNS server name at your domain registration portal. Once you set up the DNS, allow 1 or 2 minutes of buffer before your website goes online. For worldwide access, it might take up to 24 – 48 hours. This is because the DNS need some time to shift from your previous hosting to the new one.

What Are The Latest Promotions?

September 27th, 2008 @ 8:46 am Tagged with , , ,



Lunarpages has recently gone unlimited with their storage, bandwidth and add-on domain. Lunarpages subscribers can now store files and data without limit. In fact they have already been giving the best with the previous features (15,000Gb storage and 15Tb bandwidth) but apparently they are not satisfied with themselves and has now gone unlimited. Besides the huge storage and bandwidth, Lunarpages now allow unlimited websites with add on domain hosted in one account. For usual most of the providers only allow 10 to 20 domains.

Free software worth of $775 is another selling point for Lunarpages. This bonus is just added into the hosting plan recently. They name this bonus as CoffeeCup which includes HTML Editor, Flash Form Builder and other Web Design Software. It definitely help those new webmaster in getting a well designed web site.

Not only they added additional features, Lunarpages has lowered their monthly charge as much as 40% to $4.95/mo (previously $6.95). It is unbelievable as you get extra but your pay lesser. Unfortunately the price $4.95 is only available for 12 months and 24 months subscriptions but I think that is fair enough.

For more information you could pay a visit to Lunarpages official website.

  • HostPedia’s Editor’s Choice by “HostPedia” (2008)
  • Full Won-Awards List

What can you get from Lunarpages?

Something that I have stressed enough – a quality support.
What differ this California web hosting company from others is the supports that they are providing. Lunarpages provides all sort of supports from email,telephone to ticket sumitting. They also have a good FAQ sessions. Actually having these features is nothing great about them but what is impressive is their speed in responding to the queries which I call it “an effective customer support”.

Lunarpages Review

Lunarpages is definitely committed in serving their customers. Why am I so confident? Because I myself am their customer for more than 3 years. I have several websites hosted with them including this one. I am satisfied with their service and have no complain. Although I gave only a “9 out of 10″ to them is because I hope they will not settle for what they have achieved now. The remaining 1 point deducted is with the hope that they will continue striving for the best of the best. View my full Lunarpages review.

Lunarpages Basic Plan

The Specifications of Service

Previously they are still providing limted storage(1500Gb) and bandwidth(15Tb) but they have now gone UNLIMITED. It is officially published in their website. You can now store as much data as you like and no worries on your traffic volume. On top of that you get an absolutely FREE domain.
Also upon fall, every new signed-up customer is entitled to enjoy a $775 dollars worth of Free Sotrware. I do not know how useful of them to you but for me, I love using these 4 out of many – Gafana Spam Blocking, DMXReady’s Contact Us Manager, Photo TurboBackup and Logo Creator. You can learn more about the free bonus here.

The Fall Promotions

Yes. It is officially started. Lunarpages is now doing promotions that they have revised their price and specsifications to a even more competitive package. As mentioned above, unlimited storage and bandwidth, free domain and unlimite add on domains which means you can host as much website as you like. And on top of all of these extra benefits, the pricing is only $4.95/month which is 20% lower han before! It is definitely a bargain! I seriously wonder will this promotions apply to those existing customers because I have already tied up for 2 more years with them! Argh..

How long will the promotions last?

I have seriously no idea. They name it Fall Promotions. How long you are expecting Fall will last? With the global warming issue nowadays, it is really unpredictable, don’t you think so?

As discussed in Lunarpages data center, we have known that data center is the backbone of a web hosting company. With the fact that all they sell is the storage inside the server computer.

For your information, their data center location, One Wilshire (located in Los Angeles) and Marquisnet (in Nevada) are among the best data centers in the world. Without questioning, the technology and facilities being used in the data centers are world-class. The server chipsets, HVAC systems, UPS, network connections, maintenance and etc.
