At the beginning of the year (and then again a couple months ago), we decided to really beef up our servers and offer the utmost in storage space and bandwidth to each and every Lunarpages customer. 250 350 Gigabytes of storage space on a Basic Plan is so much storage, a lot of you probably don’t know what to do with it (let alone unlimited storage on the Business!), so we thought it would be worth clarifying what can and can’t be stored on your Lunarpages Hosting Account.

I have 100 MP3 files that I need to host for my band’s website. Will they all fit on 250 GB?
Oh hellz yeah. 100 MP3 files, unless they’re each 500 minutes long, will only take up a few specs on the 350 GB space. No worries. Continue to rawk as usual.

I’m a photographer. I’ve taken well over 1,000 photos and am setting up an online business to showcase my portfolio. Can I store all these photos on my Lunarpages account?
Definitely! We love artists.

I want to start an Ebay business on my Lunarpages Web Hosting account, but I have a bunch of pictures, files, and data I need to store so I can keep track of these things and update them daily on my website. Is that okay?
Yep! Ebay businesses are awesome, and we’d love to host your stuff and help you out.

I’m about to launch my first podcast and I’m setting up a website to showcase it on a Lunarpages Business Account. I don’t have many audio files yet, but I know I will soon have a whole library of files. Plus, I need to host some pictures and music files for the podcast show. Can I do that?
For sure. As long as it’s all related to your hosting account – i.e. you’re not hosting random files that have nothing to do with your website – you’re good to go.I have thousands of MP3 files that I’ve collected over time and they’re eating up space on my laptop and iPod, so I can’t wait to use those 350 gigs of space on my Lunarpages account!!!
Whoa, slow down, cowboy! Lunarpages Web Hosting is just that, a web hosting company. Unfortunately, we cannot allow users to host all their music, picture, podcasting, video, and/or any other media files on their websites if they don’t have a purpose. The shared server space is for business or personal website operations only; not for unrelated data storage. If you’re hosting a scrapbooking site and you’ve got 200 gigs of random music files that you couldn’t fit on your iPod, I’m afraid you’ll have to report to the principal’s office.

Honestly, our storage increases are phenomenal and we realize you all want to take full advantage of them, and that’s great! Just be sure that you remember we’re not a digital storage company and we need to do what’s best for all of our users and the servers they share. Let’s make our servers happy, people!
