Lunarpages Web Hosting hosts over 100,000 customers with more than 100 staff members worldwide. They have never compromised their security, management, pricing, or services, while constantly remaining competitive to the industry's ever-changing atmosphere.

Business Hosting

Lunarpages Basic Hosting plan features 1500GB of disk space, 15000GB bandwidth, and one free domain. Features include CoffeeCup Design Software, unlimited MySQL databases, unlimited email/FTP accounts, web mail, blog, forum, and photo gallery applications.

Editor's Note: We found that Lunarpages doesn't directly cater to small business owners but their Basic plan is acceptable for business websites and has significant room for growth. Their web space and bandwidth allocation is very generous, and they do allow for 10 extra domains to be added later.

Overall Performance

Reliability
Lunarpages uses reliable dual-core processors in their secure and efficient data centers. Their data centers collectively house more than 2500 fully-owned servers running on a robust, dual gig-E network with redundant AC/DC UPS power and knowledgeable technicians on site 24/7. Their servers are reliable with very little downtime.

Price Value
Lunarpages offers decent pricing on their web hosting plans. Lunarpages price value is good, considering they now offer substantially more web space and bandwidth than other hosting companies. With 1500GB of web space and 15000GB bandwidth, Lunarpages offers more than enough room for growth for any business.

Control Panel
Lunarpages makes use of cPanel. Cpanel is an intuitive user-friendly interface that many users find similar to their Windows operating system. Functionality is straightforward, allowing customers ease management of their accounts or access to one click installation scripts for various applications.

Customer Support
Lunarpages Support is available 24/7 by phone and through Lunardesk, their online helpdesk system. Their support page also provides support FAQs, glossaries, online tutorials, and a searchable knowledgebase. Their phone support is not toll free so if you're not in their local area they may not be your first choice host.

Editor's Note: Their phone support is not toll free so if you're not in their local area they may not be your first choice host, however their support team is generally pretty quick at responding to support inquiries through Lunardesk.
