About Lunarpages
Author: Amy Armitage
It all started back in the late 90’s when Ron Riddle ventured online and wanted a website created. He discovered many people who offered to design and host his site; however there wasn’t much activity going on, and being a “get it done” kinda guy he decided to do it himself.
The name Lunarpages was discovered late one night when our night owl Ron was watching an episode of Star Trek. He saw a moon and some planets and lunar stuff and added the word pages to it. Amazing huh!!! Oh… and the domain was available too.
The Lunarforums.com community was created and he began offering free web hosting, but the Lunar Lovers (our loyal webmasters) wanted help and support and more features on their accounts. Ron and his beautiful wife Helen had very been busy over the years running various successful businesses and they literally had a tribe of children. It occurred to them they could be on to something with this hosting gig and it was about time to exploit their offspring.
Ron asked his son Chad Riddle to help out, so he quit his job at Drug Emporium quick as a flash to work from the recreation room above the house. The Lunar servers lived in a closet next to Helen’s 1974 platform shoes and paid hosting became available that day. Helen still has the shoes but we now have two datacenters, over 1500 servers and a super classy corporate office in California. Chad now handles all of our operations and only stops by Drug Emporium to buy shoe polish and gum.
