Well, it’s definitely that time of year again when the weather is cold and snow starts falling…unless you’re out here in Southern California, where it’s actually very pleasant and warm lately. But despite the weather, it does feel like the holidays are here and there’s such a positive vibe in the air.

At Lunarpages, we definitely picked up on that vibe, because we’ve got a lot of awesome news to announce this month, including a pretty sweet discount for all you Lunarpages customers!

Windows VPS Plan Launch

This is BIG news! We have received emails from many customers requesting a Windows version of our Virtual Private Server hosting plan for some time, so I am excited to say that we have now officially released the Windows VPS Plan at Lunarpages. For those of you who are not familiar with our Linux VPS, a VPS Hosting Plan is designed to be a step between Basic or Business Shared Hosting and a Dedicated Server. For our Linux customers, it has always been a helpful solution if your site is too big for our Shared Plans but just slightly too small for a Dedicated Server.

With the edition of our Windows VPS Plan, Lunarpages now offers a step between the Windows Shared Hosting Plan and Windows Dedicated for our Windows customers’ convenience.

The Windows VPS Plan includes:

* Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
* 512MB RAM
* 20GB Storage Space
* 1,000GB Bandwidth/month
* Virtuozzo Power Panel
* 1 Free IP Address
* and more!

To learn more about the new Windows VPS, visit our Windows VPS page or call our Sales Specialists at 714-521-8150 x1.

Free Web Design Book Chapters!

Last month we showed you how to receive a free copy of the Ruby on Rails book, Build Your Own Ruby on Rails Web Applications by Patrick Lenz, and this month, we are providing you with around 20% of another entire book for free!

This month I chose The Principles of Beautiful Web Design by Jason Beaird, as it’s a great resource on what makes web design work. While this book may not have been a necessary edition to a web designer’s library ten years ago, if you don’t know anything about layout, color, texture, typography, or imagery in the competitive world of contemporary web design, you’ll be lost in the crowd.

This book not only teaches you how to create web design from scratch but it critiques the techniques that work and those that don’t. The focus of the book itself is on practicality and why simple designs are the most effective. There are full-color illustrations of various techniques, and since Jason Beaird is known in the industry for sleek, functional designs, you’re learning from the master!

Download the first several chapters for free (you won’t be disappointed) or purchase the book for only $29.95.

So that’s it for November. It’s been a really busy, almost hectic month, but we’re sure to have an even busier and exciting December, so stay tuned.
