Price Value
Lunarpages
offers good pricing on their web hosting plans. The Basic Plan, at $6.95 per
month, offers 5000 MB of space and 400 GB of traffic. This basically will cover
90% of all websites on the market and is an excellent deal. All of the "bells
and whistles" are included, with the exception of some of the e-commerce
functions. The same holds true for those that require Windows hosting, which is
offered for only $8.95/month. In addition, Lunarpages gives you a free domain
for life on all plans as long as you host with their company. In addition, you
can purchase additional domains for only $2.99 each.
If you have a high-traffic website, you may want to switch to their Business
package, which for $21.95 gives you 8000 MB of storage and 800 GB of traffic.
We understand that there are some hosts offering large bandwidth, but keep in
mind that these hosts may have other restrictions, such as file size limit,
daily bandwidth limit, or even binary files bandwidth limit (pictures, MP3s,
Flash, etc.). Lunar Pages does not have such restrictions with
your disk space and bandwidth usage. You can upload a single 800 MB file if you
want and you can finish your 400 GB bandwidth in 1 day.
