7 Reasons to Love the New Intel Core i7 Dedicated Hosting Plan

Mitch — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:05:24 +0000

Lunarpages is not only a leader in the shared and VPS hosting world, they are also a juggernaut when it comes to dedicated hosting servers too. The newest member to the dedicated hosting plan family is the new i7 Dedicated hosting plan. What is so special? I am going to give you seven reasons you will love the new Intel Core i7 hosting from Lunarpages.

The Intel® Core™ i7 2.66ghz CPU is the most recent technology from Intel® providing faster, intelligent, multi-core technology that applies processing power where it’s needed most.
Also included are 3GB of DDR3 RAM, the best memory you could ever want or need in a dedicated hosting server.
With 2000 GB of bandwidth, you are ready for any Internet traffic storm that might come your way.
250 GB of storage is included, with room to grow if needed. You’ll never have to worry about disk space again.
Coming in at only $245 per month, I’m not sure if this would fall under the deal or the steal category.
As with our other dedicated hosting plan, 2 GB are included and dedicated to backup storage.
With 2 IP addresses, SSH, MySQL Databases, E-Commerce Tools, and more, what is not to love with this dedicated hosting offer?

Every dedicated hosting plan from Lunarpages also comes with the unparalleled security, control and management options you need. If you are looking to upgrade to a dedicated hosting plan – or get your first, there is no better dedicated hosting platform out there today.

Simple 3 Step Web Site Publishing

Mitch — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:57:08 +0000

It has been a while since we had a look at the LPQuicksite hosting plan, so I thought I would show you how you can get your website built in 2 hours or less with our fantastic publishing tools. A lot of you might think the simple three step process is more of a sales slogan than a way of how things are done, and that could not be any further from the truth. Let me show you the three steps it takes to get your web site up and running with the fantastic LPQuicksite hosting plan.

It all starts here. Once you login, you are given a very simple menu that gives you the three steps so you can simply get the job done. Step number one, is to choose from one of the 500+ templates we provide. Step number two, is to edit your web site content, and decide what you want to have displayed there. Step three, and the final step, is to simply publish. No tool out there makes it easier.

Start things off by choosing the web site design you wish to use. As mentioned before, we offer well over 500 different ones to choose from. You can also search through them by keyword, or by categories.

Edit your content. This is the step where all the magic happens, and your web site really starts to come together. Click on, “Manage Pages” setup your first page, and save it. Publishing the pages are as simple of an act as working with any word processor program out there today. We give you a fully functional WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) interface to design each page to meet your needs.

Publish your web site. You are done, and by publishing – you can push the changes you have made out there to the “live” version of your web site on the Web. Now your clients, visitors, family members and whomever else might be browsing your site can see your perfectly managed and well organized content.

Do you see how simple that was? Making things simpler is far from just a slogan with Lunarpages, it is a way of life. If you want to try out the demo of LPQuicksite yourself, you can do so here. With Lunarpages, even your quick and simple web site publishing solutions reside here.

Unlimited Desktop Backup for Free from Lunarpages!

Mitch — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:38:10 +0000

Now, as a web host, we are always telling customers that one of the most important things they can do is backup their web site’s content. You can never have enough backups – because in the long run, you can never tell when the worst might happen. In the same sense, you should also be backing up the files on your own personal computer too. Now thanks to Lunarpages and the fine folks at Keepit – you can get unlimited desktop backups if you are a customer of Lunarpages.

For all new or existing customers, we are offering three months free of unlimited backup service at absolutely no cost at all. You will have three months to try Keepit out, and see why they are one of the best Online backup providers out there today.

Now, I know somebody is going to ask, “Well, how much is it after the three free months?” and I can answer that for you too. After the three free month trial is over, you can keep the service for a low $5 per month fee. That isn’t much to ask for when it comes to keeping your important files securely backed up off site, right?

Be sure to check out our newsletter feature on the Keepit offer, and if you have any questions on how you can gain access to this wonderful special, be sure to contact us.
