Who is Lunarpages?

Lunarpages with their base in California have been in the web hosting service for more than 8 years. With 4 data center across the states, Lunarpages host most than 150,000 website worldwide. The year of services and the number of customers speak for itself the quality of their service. Numerous awards won by Lunarpages along the years and the recent one will be :-

  • FrontPage Hosting award by “Find My Host” (2008)
  • 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?

Unfortunately enough, I have not yet get the honor to visit the data center of Lunarpages. I believe the visit to their data center will definitely be an eye opening experience as they are having the world top technology on hand.

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.

Review On Lunarpages

September 12th, 2008 @ 7:58 am Tagged with , ,   Comments: 0


Lunarpages Score
9 / 10
Very Good

I would give a 9 to Luarnpages for reasons.

I always have this concept in mind that if one could survive in a tough field, like web hosting industry, one must be very capable. And for Lunarpages who has established for more than 8 years and not only still around but with her strong position in the market, the quality of their services speaks for itself.

I myself am a customer of Lunarpgages and have been around with them for more than 3 years. I host my web site, business, data, email and etc with Lunarpages and of cause they do not give me any problems. I have been one of their satisfied customers all this while except for one thing that I have not receive my loyalty rewards from them yet. ?

There are reasons why Lunarpages deserves the high scores and I have put them down in point form below.

High Reliability – 99.9% Uptime

99.9% uptime is what Lunarpages has achieved. Lunarpages has altogether 3 data centers to serve the users. Two are located in California and one in Las Vegas. All 3 have redundant power supply and are well designed for controlled humidity and air circulation. Speaking on this, Lunarpages is also famous of their server monitoring by technicians on duty. Meaning every moment of time, there is somebody on duty monitoring my web hosting. Any sparkle on the system will be found out. No wonder 99.9% uptime.

Effective Support

Support is one of my most concerned issues when come to picking up web hosting. And believe me Lunarpages has done a very good job on this. All sort of supports are provided by Lunarpages to resolve customers’ issue at the soonest time. One of the useful supports is the LunarDesk. It is a ticket system submitting your technical queries to them. I had some experiences dealing with this when my websites are not accessible due to some setting. They had shown professionalism in doing their job as a quick reply was received. When I say quick, that is almost instantly. That was indeed impressive. Later that I found out their support has won them numerous awards and 24/7/365 supports are available.

cPanel - User Friendly

Lunarpages uses cPanel as their webhosting control panel. Needless to say, it is user friendly enough. It is designed for lame man use and everything is just a few clicks away. With cPanel, I am able to manage features that had previously been reserved for the Lunarpages. With the ease of one-click, I can install applications, mange files and email addresses, create domain names, upload pictures and music, password protect directories, etc.

Free Softwares

I get free software with my hosting plan. Lunarpages from time to time will work with others developers to add features into their services. One of my favorite is CoffeeCup software. CoffeeCup make things easy to create cool websites. Their Award Winning HTML Editor, Flash Form Builder and other Web Design Software are truly make website designing easy and hassle free for me. To me, this serves as another plus point for Lunarpages.

Low Pricing

With all the services available, the price of the hosting is more than fair. It cost you only $4.95/mo for basic hosting plan. I sometime cannot really understand how Lunarpages manages to survive on the low price yet maintaining such a good quality.

Bottom line, will I recommend Lunarpages to people? You bet! Lunarpages is so far the best web hosting provider that I have ever experienced with. For sure I believe you might read somewhere else that Lunarpages experienced down time or slow or bad support, etc. I do not know what happen to them, but to me, they serve me well. Do not take me wrong I am not their huge customers and I do not get special treatment from them. What I feel is they are serious about their job and they do show their professionalism in conducting the business. It is their will that drive them to become one of the leaders in the industry.

Lunarpages offers different web hosting plan to suit different categories of users, range from basic hosting to business hosting. Below is the list of available hosting plan from Lunarpages. I suggest basic hosting plan for average usage and e-commerce website. For those more advance user, window hosting is recommended due to its extra features as well as the free-3-months promoitons that is on going now.

When come to choosing a suitable website hosting for yourself, there are a few consideration points you should take care of:-

  1. What are you going to host with your new hosting? (storage issue - Lunarpages provides unlimited storage for basic hosting plan)
  2. What is the purpose of website? (bandwidth issue - vidoe loading consume more bandwidth - Lunarpages also provides unlimited bandwidth for basic hosting plan)
  3. Who is going to access to your data? (location of your hosting)
  4. How many domain you are going to host with your hosting? (11 domains in 1 hosting account is what Lunarpages offer is)
  5. What kind of softwares compatibiliies you need?
  6. How about your email features?
  7. and etc.

Basically if you are not building web site or storing date like youtube or facebook does, Lunarpages basic plan is more than enough for your web hosting needs.
