Lunarpages was founded in the summer of 2000 when Add2Net Corporation expanded its hosting offerings to include shared hosting. For the previous 3 years, Add2Net had been providing large scale managed and unmanaged hosting services.

Even with their growth, they have maintained excellent support levels when compared to the rest of the web hosting industry. Lunarpages has earned a reputation as a provider with superior customer support and a top notch web hosting data center.

Unlike most web hosting companies, you can always get through the phone line with Lunar Pages. Also, the basic package offering of $6.95/month (or only $8.95/month for Windows hosting) is excellent for individuals and most small- to medium-sized companies looking for a very reliable website presence on the Internet.

SPECIAL OFFER: When you move your website to Lunarpages from another web host and sign up for a new annual plan, they will add the time remaining from your existing pre-paid web hosting account to your new Lunar plan (up to 6 months).

EasyCGI is great for anyone looking for a Windows host. If you do not need a Windows host, they still get the job done nicely.

They have good quality hardware including 2.8 Ghz Xeon+ server speed, Win2000 operating system, backup power, Dell PowerEdge servers and more. Unfortunately, they do not offer any e-commerce software, so they are not the best for small businesses that require e-commerce functionality.

Unlike most web hosts, EasyCGI does not include JSP or Cold Fusion on their Basic plan of $7.96. In order to receive these features, you must choose an Intermediate or Advanced plan.

One of the top business hosting companies in the industry, PowWeb prides itself on offering a feature-rich product at an affordable price to aid in the development of your business. Further backing up this statement, PowWeb has just increased the disk space to a huge 20000 MB and 400 GB data transfer without raising the price.

You may remember Go Daddy them from their controversially scintillating Super Bowl advertising of the past 2 years. We remember them for their long-standing tradition of providing an affordable blizzard of shared hosting plans, domain services, email services, virtual and dedicated servers, and business solutions (though the focus of this review will be their shared hosting plans principally).

And when we say "affordable" what we really mean is "downright cheap". Go Daddy is the all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of shared hosting providers. You might find more and fancier dishes (read: frills) elsewhere, but it's doubtful you'll find a better price for the features you will get. To make it easy for you, the absolute best value here is the deluxe plan offering 50000 MB disk space and 500 GB bandwidth, available for $5.59/month. This hosting package can handle a growing business or a personal website for sharing lots of pictures and information.

Special Offer: Get 20% off any 12 month hosting plan. That's an additional 10% off the GoDaddy posted savings on 12 month plans.
