Hosted with Lunarpages for 2.5 years

Not knowing much about web hosting, I decided to use Lunarpages to host my business website because my father used it for his projects. I am very happy I did. I remember one instance when I didn’t understand what was going on with my site. I emailed Lunarpages support one time during the night and within 15 minutes, I had a helpful response. It was unbelievable customer service–service I’ve never seen with any company–and I have never had a regret since.

Congratulations Peter! We will be in touch to arrange to ship your iPad to you!

How Much do you LOVE Lunarpages?

Two weeks ago we launched our I Love Lunarpages Testimonial Contest and we received so many innovative, creative and hilarious entries. One of our staff members submitted a poem just for laughs (of course our staff cannot win any prizes).

“I love Lunarpages” by Brian Furphy

When my website was ready to go online,
I called up Lunarpages, just in time.
They listened very carefully to all my needs.
The best technical support with no extra fees.
I needed email and I didn’t want SPAM,
SEO for my site and a database plan,
a new domain and a dedicated IP,
Lunarpages made this all easy for me.
I love Lunarpages more and more every day,
I love them very much, but, in a platonic way.

It was our task to try and pick our top 3 favorites, which was extremely hard by the way and the results are in.

The first and second week’s winners of 12 months of Basic Web Hosting are:

Hosted with Lunarpages for 9 years

I started hosting with Lunarpages probably 9 years ago when I first decided to set up my own website. In that time my website needs may have changed but Lunarpages hasn’t! They have always been reliable, quick to address my issues, easy to use, affordable, expandable, … it should suffice to say that no matter what my web needs I feel confident that Lunarpages will be able to meet them now and in the future. I hope to be hosting with Lunarpages for years to come! Thanks! LP crew!

Hosted with Lunarpages for 4 years, 3 months

On my behalf, my web designer, Evanne Grate researched for an affordable web hosting service with a top notch reputation. This is part of what she wrote me: “My research included extensive Google Searches for top web hosts, then visiting various web developer forums I belong to including Sitepoint, WebDeveloper, DevShed, WebHosting and detailed searching for feedback regarding web hosts. I also called my top choices to see what the response time was regarding phone support. And finally, I went back to Google and did a search on my top choices using “problems w/” to see what comes up. I also found a couple of good sites that provide user feedback/reviews regarding the web hosts. I also considered other factors such as length of time that a web host has been providing service. I also ensured that I found independent reviews b/c oftentimes some of the ranking sites are sponsored by web hosting companies.” You can easily draw the correct conclusion – Lunarpages rose to the top!

I am a satisfied with my choice. I Love Lunarpages!
