LunarPages Web Hosting Plans

Lunarpages offer multiple web hosting plan which includes personal hosting, business hosting, Window hosting, cloud, and dedicated hosting. let’s look into the review of each plan

PERSONAL HOSTING (SHARED)

This is the cheapest hosting on lunarpages and comes with few features. This hosting plan is called the “LINUX” hosting. There are two options to choose from the STARTER and the BASIC.

Starter Linux Hosting

• Comes with Control panel
• 5Gb Storage
• 5GB bandwidth
• WordPress Install script
• Softaculous install scripts

Basic Linux Hosting

• Panel available
• Weebly website builder
• You get Free domain name
• Unlimited Storage
• Unlimited bandwidth
• 24/7 customer support

Starter hosting plan is good for personal blog and people with a tight budget. The Basic which I recommend is good for a small business site or medium traffic websites.

The free domain is available only on the basic package. You get free domain name registration when you pay for full one-year hosting.

BUSINESS HOSTING (SHARED)

This is a higher level of shared hosting plan. The business hosting comes with 3 plans.

• Premium hosting
• Advantage hosting
• Enterprise Hosting

The 3 plans above are the same except they have different storage capacity and bandwidth. These plans are more expensive than the normal shared hosting packages. The hosting package comes with additional features that may influence your choice. Such as

• SSL certificate
• Cpanel with no monthly payment
• Dedicated I.p address
• PCI compliance.

The features are great for a small business website but the price is high for shared hosting. I rather pay little more to get a VPS server on other top hosting companies than pay this much for shared hosting.

SHARED WINDOW HOSTING:

Window hosting is excellent for hosting and managing a website using advanced technology. Window hosting is required for:

• ASP or .NET Websites
• SharePoint
• MS Access or MS SQL

These shared hosting packages are twice expensive as normally shared hosting plans. It comes with similar features such as Free domain name registration and unlimited storage. Other specific features of Lunarpages window hosting are

• Window 2012R2
• Plesk Control Panel 11.x
• MSSQL 2012 standard edition

CLOUD VPS HOSTING

This is another level of shared hosting on Lurnapages. It more expensive compared to other cloud hosting service providers. The initial base price is low but you pay more when you scale to more resources.

Amazing feature with VPS cloud hosting.

• Options to choose an operating system from CentOS 7, Window or Ubuntu
• Free domain registration when you pay at least one year upfront.
• The choice for normal free Cpanel or pay monthly for Plesk Onyx
• Ability to modify your RAM, disk storage, CPU and Bandwidth.
• You have SSD disk space included which is improves the speed of websites

We know all this comes with sweet and interesting features. We got a big disadvantage where you are unable to add SSL certificates on your VPS hosting. It is only available on other shared or a dedicated plan.

DEDICATED HOSTING

Lurnarpages offers dedicated hosting solutions for windows and Linux. There are 3 plans available to choose from the features. The differences in the CPU and RAM.

We have the

• Single Quad Core that comes with 4GB RAM and CPU / Intel® E3-1225 v5 Quad 4-core.
• Single Octa Core comes with CPU / Intel® E5-2670 Octa 8-core and 16GB RAM
• Dual Octa Core comes with 32GB RAM and CPU / Dual Intel® E5-2670
