Most people put their defenses up if they sense the motive is simply to make a profit. I try to give a non-promotional perspective with enough research and testing and rebuttals to hopefully provide something useful to readers. Dan, if you visit the link I posted above, you can see that the criteria we rely on for rating hosts isn't related to sales pitches. Scott, I agree.

I could happily provide anyone with screen shots of the cpanel and any copies of the account suspension emails they have sent. So giving them 4 stars and a top ratings based on their sales pitch is never a good or qualified review. Well I am not reporting mis information out of anger either.

Oops! My bad Emory. Didn't check very far into that part of his comment. Aside from that, my affiliate links don't really turn over much in the way of added income for me either. Matter of fact, I think most people are a tad distrustful of them for some reason. However, I only have 2 on my site and stand behind them as honest, trustworthy companies to do business with. Like you, my conscious would bug me otherwise. “Scott, even though I do use affililate links on many web hosting reviews, I haven’t received any commissions on Lunarpages or HostDime this year.”

Let's hear what factually false data you found. The rest is my honest opinion about my experience with Lunarpages. You're welcome to think publishers are lying about what they say regarding advertisers. My conscience doesn't allow it. Scott, even though I do use affililate links on many web hosting reviews, I haven't received any commissions on Lunarpages or HostDime this year. They aren't perfect, but for anyone who wants to know how we do we web hosting reviews, here's everything you wanted to know: http://www.clickfire.com/how-web-host-reviews-work-at-clickfire/ Dan, this is one of the few reviews that I did the testing on myself so I stand behind the info here.

Actually, if you did a Whois search on this domain, you'd find out that HostDime.com is Clickfire's host and not LP. No affiliate links either. Clickfire isn't like that. LP has gone down the tubes over the years since this review was done. Trust me, I know many others out there like yourself who cannot wait to get away from them. And yes...they are outsourcing some of their support now but, not all of it. In any case, I wish you luck with finding your next host and that they can better serve your needs. “My guess is the reviewer is selling under their affiliate.”

My guess is the reviewer is selling under their affiliate. I have hosted with lunarservers for two years under contract and i cannot wait to leave them. as a current customer i have php4.4.9 on cpanel version 2.5.0 though that isnt the worst half. Monthly I am now getting threatening emails due to having older scripts and sending too many emails. When your host threatened to suspend your account because you are using version 1.1.10 instead of 1.1.11 of your forums there is a problem Its poor butt kissing reviews like this that hurt things.

It is offshore and no help at all. I've had nothing but problems and issues that have gone unresolved for days and I was even telling them what the issues were and how to fix them. Let me explain as venting is making me feel better. They blocked my IP while I was backing up some sites. Could not access frontend or backend of any of my sites from my home IP addy. Support is only available 8-5pm pst via phone and so I was forced to go to email tech support which as stated above, is offshore. They were convinced that I was wrong in telling them my IP was blocked. On the 3rd day, i had a chance to call during my work day and low and behold... THEY WERE BLOCKING ME!! I asked to speak to a supervisor and they told me they would submit a ticket for someone to call me back. So, then 3 days goes by and no call... then it came, but I missed it as I was on another call... they left no message. That was it. I've had one more issue on the way out from lunar and it's been the same terrible support. I plan to slam them every chance I get. My head hurts from the support issues I've had with them. Hope this helps spread the word! DON'T DO IT! This is ALL absolutely true… lunarpages support is complete garbage. It is offshore and no help at all.

I have had countless issues with their utterly horrible customer support both via email and phone. They have now taken to "hiding" any complaints and issues about their service on their forums. You can only see the issues customers are posting about if you have made an "account" and have at least 10 posts to your name. This is an obvious attempt to hide the growing number of issues with their service from potential customers viewing their forum. Lunarpages = FAIL use at your own risk.

The baited me into 4.95 month hosting which is desent price for one year. Then they changed price without notice at all. After year they want 8.95 month and have to pay yearly. This is rediculous especially without prior notice. Most people pay it because of the pain of switching hosting services. Even high quality professionals don't charge that much per month.
