Another short dedicated servers review

Lunarpages was founded in the summer of 2000 when Add2Net Corporation expanded
its hosting offerings to include shared hosting. Lunarpages offers ASP,
E-Commerce, FrontPage, and Budget solutions using the Linux operating system.



Lunarpages offers two high featured hosting plans starting at $7.95 per month.
From the start, our Independent Review Panel was pleased with both the amount of
Web space and the amount of monthly Data Transfer, which are well above the
industry average.



Both plans are packed with features. MySQL databases, FrontPage Extensions, PHP,
Python, Perl, CGI-BIN, SSI, Flash, Shockwave, Windows and Real Media, and more,
are standard for both plans, while the more expensive plan comes with a few
extra e-commerce options. Both plans also offer free domain names for life. As
long as you host with Lunarpages your domain name is free (1 free domain name
for the Basic plan and 4 free for the Business plan)



Lunarpages uses cPanel for their control panel solution. To increase cPanel's
functionality, Lunarpages includes the Fantastico Script Library plug-ins. At
the time of this review, Fantastico adds more than 30 features including
Geeklog, PHPList, MasterFlex, PHPauction, Nucleus, Coppermine Photo Gallery, and
osTicket.



Previously, Lunarpages offered a Web building tool that you could use to build
one Web page, but needed to upgrade for a nominal fee if you wanted to build a
full Web site. Our Independent Review Panel liked the idea of including a Site
Builder; however they disagreed with charging extra for what other Web Hosts
include for free. Recently, Lunarpages has dropped the upgrade fees and now
allow their customers full use of the Soho Web Site Builder tool.



Lunarpages offers multiple ways of contacting their Support staff. Toll-free
phone support is offered during business hours while forums and email support
are answered 24/7. Lunarpages is conscientious when it comes to answering their
support calls. Their support department has a call queue display to help the
support team maintain the phone lines in a more professional manner. All of our
email and calls were answered quickly and accurately by s professional and
courteous staff.



If you are not fully satisfied with your hosting solution, Lunarpages offers a
30-day no questions asked money back guarantee.



Lunarpages waves the setup fee if you pay for a twelve month hosting contract.
Otherwise you must pay the fee, which our Independent Review Panel thought was a
little bit steep. Also if you want the lower end hosting plan you need to
purchase a three month contract.



Verdict:

Lunarpages offers very good Unix hosting with all the bells and whistles you'd
expect in a more expensive Host. Their hosting solutions carry plenty of Web
Space and Data Transfer, while their support is quick and knowledgeable. If you
are looking for a Unix Host, check out Lunarpages.
