Here is her Lunarpages Shared Hosting review:
First thing I did after creating my account was go to setup my email. I was very excited, this is my first domain ever. I set it up and then find out I can't receive email! After reporting this to their staff and setting up a ticket, I find out the next day that I wasn't receiving email because I had set my mailbox quota limit to 5000mb. Apparently that was too high they said! Why would they give you the option of doing that if it's just going to screw things up? That's just stupid. I knew I didn't need that much but I figured I'd set it and forget it and it would be no problem.
Then the next thing was just yesterday when I went to check my website and it was down. And so was their LPCP (control panel). I don't know how long it was down for but I noticed it for about half an hour.
The thing with places like LunarPages is they oversell. Meaning they cram as many websites on a server as they can. As a result someone else on the server can be doing 'stupid' things and it knocks the server offline along with your website. It is common for servers that are part of overselling to go down frequently.
I have been able to rectify the problems I was having by having my account moved to another server but the experience so far is poor to average. THe new server, so far, seems to be working a lot better. I wish they would take better care of their clients, especially new customers.
