Detailed review: I have had a wonderfull experience with the customer support here. 99% uptime has kept its promise.
Pros: Lots of space and bandwidth. Good customer support.
Cons: It has gone down some times, but i think that was only because they were updating php versions.
Would you recommend this company to your best friend? Yes.

I agree. I've been hosted by LunarPages for around 18 months and I haven't had a problem yet. I also have the Basic Plan: the plan that when I first bought it, was at 40Gb bandwidth and up to 5000MB space. Now, after several upgrades on their part, my limits are 800Gb and 35,000MB space. Also, only 1 MySQL database was allowed at the start--now they're unlimited. And if I'm right, it's a dollar cheaper per month than back when I first bought the deal.

The sites they host for me are www.bobsnox.com, www.shannaraforums.com (and .net is parked), and www.louisebuhrmannmd.org (the site I built for my mom's boss).

So, yes, LunarPages is good.

Do they have the latest php version?

The version they have is 4.4.4.

Do they backup? If yes, how much do you pay them for it?

I know they do, but off the top of my head, I don't know for how much.

And I just looked and couldn't find it. But yes, they backup.

a nice review. i would recommend this hosting as well

Are/were you hosted by them?

I think they have servers with version 5 now as well, if not they should soon since all their competition has it.

Lunarpages is hands down one good hosting provider. I personally have dealt with the manager of LP direct and he was the most honest, helpful and professional employee of any hosting company I have ever dealt with! There's lots of great hosts out there, but Lunar does stand out for their down to earth customer support and superb services.

Yup I have been hearing some good and bad stuff about lunar pages. Although I wanted to try it out i was a bit short with the budget. I hope the price is worth it.

i signup lunarpages a month back.
and the site is running now.
so far... there is no major issue or downtime.

the server speed is average. not that fast.
an average hosting provider.

Thanks for the review. Did you test their support as well?

Yes they're pretty good, I would recommend them to anyone needing shared hosting.

Good to hear, was considering them and still am. Thanks for the review, now just need to find some more.
