Lunarpages Announces Increases & Sends a Message

Amy Armitage with Lunarpages Business Development and Marketing says “Honestly, do our shared customers need all of this extra bandwidth and space? Will they even use it? I doubt it. Lately, checking out hosting review sites and offerings of other hosts I’m incredibly concerned about the credibility of the industry as a whole. The reality is Lunarpages do need to remain competitive but we feel it is more important to concentrate on our service, reputation and our customers. For months I’ve cringed every time another press release lands in my inbox about data transfer increases that can’t always be responsibly delivered in a shared hosting environment. Can we deliver all of this transfer? Yes of course. Will this motivate our customers to suddenly become educated in ways to increase their traffic, probably not.”

These enhancements have not affected the affordability of web hosting with Lunarpages; in fact their prices have remained unchanged for several years. As always, when Lunarpages increases their offerings the benefits are passed on to their loyal webmasters by awarding the upgrades to all hosted accounts. In August the addition of $700 of CoffeeCup Webmaster Software was given to their entire community, along with the option to purchase extra domains at $2.99 each. Yet another reason Lunarpages continues to lead as an innovator and reputable example of quality web hosting.

Ron Riddle CEO of Lunarpages Web Hosting says “The upgrades are simply cosmetic. We all know it and our customers know it. If our webmasters can make use of the extra space and transfer allowance and increase their traffic significantly, fantastic! We will back up our offerings as always. However, hopefully this will serve as a message to our peers to stop devaluing shared hosting and focus on what matters - Hosting websites, keeping them online, and providing responsive and quality support for your community.”

Lunarpages would like to see a united stand made by the handful of quality and reputable hosts remaining in the industry. Amy Armitage says “If compliance and realistic limits and price points can be agreed upon, the winners will not only be our customers, they will be our businesses, because we will continue to be profitable, reputable, to grow, and best of all be eternal.”
