Lunarpages is a very well known web host with over 70,000 hosted web sites. I've used Lunarpages with a number of web sites, and have found both reliability and support to be extremely good. Their packages are extremely generous, with their cheapest plan having 40 Gig of data transfer, which not many of their competitors can offer.
Company Description
Lunarpages is dedicated to taking your web hosting needs to the next level. Because our focus is foremost on providing you with high quality service and accountability, you can depend on us to always be there for you.
Overview

What's most promising about Lunarpages is their open forum, where users can ask questions and post feedback.

Technology
Lunarpages supports linux operating systems, with PHP, Perl, MySQL, FrontPage extensions and more.
Support
Lunarpages provides both email support and toll-free email support.
Site Loading Speed
The table below (courtesy of Alerta Site Monitoring) shows the loading times of a site hosted with BlueHost. The numbers are quite impressive, under 1 second for most cities around the US and abroad:
Control Panel
Lunarpages uses Cpanel, a popular control panel used by many hosts worldwide. Whilst not the most user friendly control panel (eg. Creating MySQL databases can be a little confusing at first) its abundance of features makes up for the slight lack of user experience. In time however, the control panel becomes quite easy to use.
Pricing
Lunarpages has two plans with a very competitely priced $7.95 and $22.95 per month depending on various features.
Overall Rating
Lunarpages comes very highly recommended, with their support team being one of the main reasons for this high rating.
9.5 / 10
