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
