Problems done with LunarPages

Posted by Ruddy on Feb 23, 2009 in Web Hosting

Well, as I said in my previous post, there are lots of stupid people and bad companies on the internet no matter how “legal” they are. Well, I have met various of bad people but one of the worst is LunarPages. I won’t give them a free link here but if you are curious about them, just go to lunarpages.com. Don’t be fooled with their cool design.

I have made probably 3 posts about LunarPages and I created all of these because I’m totally pissed off. I had a shared hosting account for my new website with them. Recently, I moved the server from shared hosting account to their VPS hosting plan. But you know what, suddenly they suspended my account with one excuse: I haven’t paid my bills.

This is totally ridiculous because they never sent me any notification/warning regarding this bill. EVERY web hosting service I’ve worked with like Liquidweb always sent me at least 3 emails to notify me when my hosting account almost expired. But lunarpages never told me anything and suddenly they deleted my hosting account. What made it look even more ridiculous is, they never answered to my questions regarding this bill.

Yep, earlier I have created a support ticket asking about various things including “when to pay for this new VPS account” and also “How much should I pay for this VPS account because earlier I’ve paid for 12 months shared hosting account and I only used it for 1 month?” But surprisingly, they always skipped these parts. They answered the other questions but they skipped these questions. You know the end of this story. They suspended my account without notifying me and also AFTER they skipped all of my questions regarding this bill.

*Last Update: After talking with them, my problem finally is really settled. Looks great! They admitted their mistake, they gave me compensation, and I changed my mind about them.

Lunar Pages, I don’t understand WTF is going on…

Posted by Ruddy on Feb 13, 2009 in Web Hosting

Remember my earlier post about how unstable Lunar Pages server is? After chatting with them, they explained they had a DDos attack to their server in San Diego. But I still don’t understand, how could my website suddenly going down again? Another DDos attack? WTF is that….I really do not appreciate a web hosting like this. Down twice within the same week…WTF is that? I would rather move it to liquidweb, far more stable and faster.

Lunar Pages….So Unstable!

Posted by Ruddy on Feb 6, 2009 in Web Hosting

I just bought a hosting plan from lunarpages.com. I can’t believe how unstable their server was. I installed vBulletin on their server (for my newest website). But when I was in installation progress, suddenly I couldn’t access anything, not even the FTP access. I thought it was because of my internet connection but I was able to connect to the other websites. So I came into conclusion the one who was having error was Lunar Pages server itself.

It was so crazy they had the problem for 30 minutes. I’ve never worked with this kind of annoying web hosting before. Lunar pages obviously gave me a lesson why I should blacklist them from my web hosting list.

*PS: I always use different web hosting service every time I create a new website. With this method, I know which one works better than others. As for now, I still believe Liquidweb is the best web hosting company because they provide 24/7 email support (blazing fast responses!) and very stable server.
