| Company Description |
| Founded by Add2Net, Inc., Lunarpages has been serving web sites for five years. Like iPowerWeb, Lunarpages has been in the industry for a sufficient amount of time to be a credible host. Lunarpages promises and delivers excellent uptime, and response times to trouble tickets and support e-mails are outstanding. We've seen response times in as little as under five minutes at times. For the price you pay and the amount of space, features, and support you get, Lunarpages is our top recommendation. |

| Hosting Costs |
| Lunarpages offers 3000 MB of disk space and 40 GB of bandwidth for $7.95 a month. The package allows you to host PHP, PYTHON, PERL, and more. Another highlight about this plan is that it offers unlimited e-mail accounts, forwarding, and auto responders. You can always get a full refund with Lunarpages within the first 30 days if you are not satisfied. |

| Customer Service |
| As I mentioned in the introduction of this review, Lunarpages has very speedy support technicians who are usually up-to-par in terms of replying to e-mails as they are received. This is what gives Lunarpages competitive advantage over the other hosts I have reviewed. On top of this, Lunarpages also offers an extensive help section, including FAQs, online tutorials, CPanel help, online community forums (huge), a knowledge base, and of course toll-free telephone support. |

| Control Panel |
| Lunarpages currently utilizes CPanel 10, which makes it easy for you to manage and configure your web site. Using the online interface, you can check e-mail, see what kind of traffic levels your site is receiving, how much disk space and bandwidth you've used, and find out what searches visitors are coming from. This version of CPanel is also packed with many third-party scripts such as guestbooks, clocks, formmail, and more. |
| |
| Data Center |
| Lunarpages' data center currently resides in downtown Los Angeles. Using Dell Power Edge 2650 servers, and their latest 6 GB memory quad Xeon 2.4 GHz Xeon processors, their servers dominate over any other web hosting company. Another highlight about their data center is that Lunarpages has been known to update their servers when new ones hit the market. This is obviously an advantage of Lunarpages because they do this at no extra cost to you. |
| |
| Closing Argument |
| Our top recommendation goes to Lunarpages because the company has proven outstanding in terms of overall performance. For the price you pay and the amount of space, features, and support you get, Lunarpages is almost a steal. We have not recorded any downtime with this host either. |
