Vendor Comments
Quote from Lee Coleman, Director of Technology - Lunarpages Web Hosting
Sometimes, you need a server more powerful and spacious than you can find in a Shared Hosting environment, but you're not ready or can't afford to go with your own Dedicated Server. For you, Lunarpages Web Hosting is able to offer an affordable and reliable solution with priority 24/7 support and the same great customer service you expect from all of our plans - the Virtual Private Server. VPS Hosting with Lunarpages is only $39.95/month and you receive the same incredible perks that Shared Hosting users get - a Free Domain Name for Life, Free Setup, and $700 of CoffeeCup Webmaster and Design Software. But with our VPS Plan, you'll also get root access to the server, guaranteed RAM for bigger JSP deployments, the ability to run software not supported in a shared environment (almost any 3rd party software you can imagine!), and a guaranteed 1/25th of an extremely powerful server. And if you want the ability to have it managed, it's only $9.99/month extra. This plan is great for web developers, programmers, webmasters, designers, and Ruby on Rails gurus alike.
