LUNARPAGES REVIEW

The launching of LunarPages dates back to the mid of the year 2000 when Add2Net Corporation started offering shared web hosting solutions as part of its hosting expansion program. Till that point, Add2Net had been highly successful in its managed as well as unmanaged large-scale web hosting offerings for the previous three years. Because of the fact that their hosting platform was highly stable as well as their customer service was exceptionally efficient, their customer base started to increase which boosted their courage for future growth. The result of the high level of service and experience was that the Lunarpages brand came into being. They are highly committed to continue to serve their customers to the highest level of satisfaction. More information about the company behind this innovative web hosting service can be found at Add2Net.com.

LunarPages Review
 

The LunarPages Difference!

The pivotal objective of the LunarPages Team is the highest level of customer satisfaction and for this reason they have developed one of the best and the most skilled web hosting personnel in the hosting industry. The support department comprises general queries team, high-level system administrators as well as developers and programmers to help their customers solve the most complicated of their problems. Plus their customer support is also very fast, and as soon as the customer has conveyed the problem, their team starts working on its resolution. If however, the customer does not want direct resolution but instead wants them to help him with something, they are more than happy to give a full length explanation. They are so confident of their customer care department that they guarantee the satisfaction of their customers, no matter what the situation may be.

Simplicity of Use - Control Panel

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. You can find out exactly where your site visitors are coming from (including country name), the OSs and browsers being used by those visitors, their landing and exiting pages on your web site with tracking on a daily/hourly basis.

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.

Customer Support

Lunarpages is very receptive in responding to the queries and problems of customers. Hosting accounts are activated the same day your order is verified and account setup takes from 30 minutes to an hour. However, if you want to speed up the process, you must input your telephone number into the system and your account will be set up immediately. All the support channels including toll-free support, e-mail support, live chat and community forum, an in-depth FAQ section, knowledgebase and online tutorials are supported. Answers to common questions can be found from within the help desk system.
