Features and prices of services of Lunarpages hosting
The "Basic Plan" offers bandwidth and unlimited disk space for a price of U.S. $ 4.95/mo (plan 12 and 24 months). These prices are unbeatable for Lunarpages and other giants of the web hosting purchase their bandwidth in huge volumes to price discounts (where economies of scale). Here are some standard features that appear in the central control panel:
* Ruby on Rails 6

* ASP
and now some of them specific to Lunarpages:
* 1 free domain name for life
* The program CoffeeCup
* Statistics and tracking CrazyEgg

The Control Panel (Cpanel)
Once logger we can discover the classic Control Panel. Lunarpages uses the classic "cPanel X theme" with large icons "website information," "Upgrades / Addons," "Billing History" Specials ", and even larger icons" Helpdesk, "" FAQ, "" Tutorials "and" Network Status. "I remind you that the site is in English Lunarpages.
If you feel a bit lazy you can use self-installer "Fantastico". Most of the scripts most popular open source or free can be self-installed in seconds and few clicks without putting up a MySQL database without any file upload or change the CHMOD certain files. Such a program is welcome when you're not an expert in programming (like me). At the time of this evaluation only 37 scripts were available.
Unfortunately, scripts offered significant other hosting services such as Drupal, Mambo and Typo3 are not available from the Fantastico Panel of Lunarpages. However, versions of the scripts that are available are the most current (ie the latest versions that offer directly to the sites creators of these scripts).
Lunarpages highlights anywhere on their site and customer service gives the client that their helpdesk is available 24/24 and 7days / 7. Words such as "Phone Support," "Ask a Question" and the phone client pervades the site Lunarpages.com. Besides e-mail welcoming you will list clearly the various ways to reach customer service.
Many hosts are trying to hide the rather more possible way of being contacted not hear the whining of their client. Lunarpages, however, asks for more and clearly highlights that they can be reached by various routes.
I gave one to evaluate Lunarpages 5 / 5 if the range of scripts in the control panel had been more extensive. But their defense Lunarpages does not provide their client scripts that Cpanel does not give customer support.
Positives: host large, consolidated and experienced offers bandwidth and unlimited disk space at prices really low. Unique features such as a domain name free for life, the program CoffeeCup, and statistics CrazyEgg.
Negatives: Lack of Scripts in Fantastico script (Drupal, Mambo, Typo3, etc..). No AWStats.
Conclusion: One of the best hosting companies on the market, excellent value for money. If you do not really need the auto install scripts for some Lunarpages is a good choice.
