LunarPages control panel is easy to use with a friendly user interface. Many Web hosting companies use CPanel which is a very common control panel and the same is being used by Lunarpages. CPanel features about 35 different functions which are quickly accessible. These functions include file management, e-mail management, disk usage, forums, web statistics, additional domain management, search engine submission, system security and a host of many other options.
Webalizer (a common application used by many Web hosts) runs in parallel with the web site statistics function. It gives a clear image about your web site stats.

Features vs. Cost Analysis |
Lunarpages offers two hosting packages namely Basic and Business both of which are Linux based. However the option to purchase ASP and JSP on the Linux platform is available. The Basic plan is their best-selling package because it's available for only $7.95/month and is thus very cost effective and affordable. The package offers 5 GB of disk space, a huge 400 GB of transfer, unlimited FTP accounts, anonymous FTP access, unlimited subdomains and best of all, a free domain name for life as well as free setup if you sign up for a full-year term. The Business plan has almost double the features as compared to the Basic plan and goes for $21.95 per month. However for most users, the Basic plan is adequate.
