Cheap Web Hosting and Fast Technical Support ?

Posted on February 22nd, 2007 by giovani

Hello again… It’s been quite a while I’m using a new web hosting to this blog and to my Personal Website, after suffering for some time with my last hosting in Brazil, where I got my website cracked twice in less than 6 months. By the way, for your safety: my old hosting was BigHost (around $7 per month) and it has the worst technical support I’ve ever been in contact with! To make things worse, when I needed to expand my storage with a few more megabytes beyond the already ridiculous quote of 300mb (yes, believe me, those plans still exist), their commercial department wanted to charge me another $7 PER MONTH!

So I switched to a Lunarpages.com Basic Plan. Well, at least they call it “basic”, but compared to my 300mb old hosting it is a “Super Plan”. And guess what? I am paying almost the same!

Ok, the goodies are (at least my favorites):

~~350Gb storage - (I have just received an email upgrading me from 250Gb to 350Gb)~~ — Amazing Update: Now they offer 1,5 TERABYTE HOSTING
~~2,5~~ 15 terabyte bandwidth per month
Unlimited subdomains, ftp accounts, emails, MySQL databases…
One FREE domain name while you are registered with them, but registered to you, so if you leave you can take your domain with you at no cost (and new domains cost onlt $7 per year)
~~Up to 10 add-on domains, which mean you can have 10 websites (with their own email) with just one lunarpages plan~~ — Amazing Update: Now they offer UNLIMITED ADD-ON DOMAINS, which means you can put as much websites online as you can…
Support for Ruby on Rails, Python, PHP (if you need PHP5 ask them on registration)
$6.95 per month for 24-month plan or $7.95 per month for a 12-month plan
Amazing user-friendly and fast technical support staff. They even helped me to migrate my image Gallery when the error was a code bug on gallery software!

Also, they have an incredible Affiliate Program, where they give you $65 for each new customer you bring. That’s a good opportunity to recover your investment really, really fast.

Well, if you’re still not convinced to try it out, look at their website and read more about their offers, or Google them to read the reviews. I did it extensively when looking for a new place and do not regret about my choice.

But if you read this post and decide to try out Lunarpages Hosting, please be honest and tell them that I recommended it to you, by entering my Affiliate ID on registration time: tvgio3
