LUNAR PAGES REVIEW
Posted by SARAH on October 7th, 2007When it comes to the Top 7 performers in the web-hosting world, you will find many things are the same all around. Many of them offer a nice user interface, low prices, lot’s goodies to install, great prices, excellent up-time, etc. What really sets a company apart is customer service. That is key.
Lunar Pages has the best customer service out of any company around. Period. Any of their customer service people are friendly, knowledgeable, and very technical.
Support is offered through a variety of channels, including but not limited to phone, e-mail, and forums - http://www.lunarforums.com. The forums are open to paying customers and the general public (only the best hosts have forums open to the general public). Lunar pages is a great host, and you will find many happy customers in their forums.
Just go to their website and see for yourself. The testimonials on the front page show real faces of real people with real websites.
Most hosts have testimonials by mystery clients, such as the lady named “Julie M.” from Kansas. Who is Julie M., and why should I believe her or even believe that she is a real person? Most likely “Julie M. is the figment of someone’s marketing imagination. Lunar pages uses real testimonials, from real clients.
Speaking of home pages, Lunar Pages is one of the few companies reviewed that had such a clean-looking home page. You can check a domain name for availability, review features, login, or check prices without having to dig around on the site.
This leads us to pricing…
The shared hosting plan is what most users will need. This service starts at only $6.95 per month, and includes 1500 GB of storage and 15,000 GB per month data transfer limit. In layman’s terms, it’s more than enough storage and bandwidth for the average person, family, or small business…. and certainly enough to host any blog.
They provide both Linux and Windows hosting solutions, Virtual Private Hosting (VPS), and Dedicated Hosting. The VPS hosting solution and dedicated hosting is perfect for those with large newsletter lists. There is no limitation on e-mails with either solutions. VPS hosting starts at $39.95 per month for Linux virtual servers, and $69.95 per month for Windows VPS (due to the cost of Microsoft licensing). Linux is the web hosting platform that most webmasters are most familiar with.
Another note that is worthy of mention is the ease of installation of aMember Membership software. Those webmasters needing to install this popular and powerful membership site software will be very pleased. Just create a database through cPanel, plug the information into aMember (or aMember Lite), and off you go.
I don’t usually speak of the owner of a web hosting company, however I think that this tidbit is worth mentioning. Ron Riddle is the founder and director of Lunar Pages. Although I have never spoken to Ron personally, he seems like an incredibly upstanding guy in his interviews. Anyone who dedicates so much time and resources to helping the public school system is alright by me. Ron is the type of business person I want to be when I grow up.
All in all, this is the best choice in the world of web hosting.
The only way that you can know if a host is right for you is to try it yourself. Since all of the hosts on this list offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, you have nothing to lose. Go to the Lunar Pages home page, open an account, and experience for youself the joy of stress-free web mastering.
