Basics - What you need to know
DataCenter
In Lunarpages' Los Angeles-based datacenter, you'll find your choice of CentOS Linux- or Microsoft Windows.NET Server 2003-run DellT PowerEdge 2850 server with either Intel Celeron, Pentium or Dual Xeon processors and 4 GB memory, connected to a 2,000 Mbit fiber network with direct connection to more than 150 carriers, including: AOL/TimeWarner and Cable & Wireless, Global Crossing, Mzima Networks, Japan Telecom, Level3, SBC, Sawis, AT&T, Microsoft/MSN, Hurricane Electric, and NTT/Verio.

Lunarpages relies on two separate sources of power. On top of that redundancy, they also have gas backup generators and enough fuel to last 3 full days and nights.
Physical Security
All Lunarpages servers are monitored 24/7/365 by trained and experienced specialists.
Server Access by Customer
Physical Access: No physical access to the server
Root Access: Root access to the server
Service Offerings
General Managed Services - Bundles
By giving all clients 1,000 gigabytes of bandwidth per month and 20,000 megabytes of storage, Lunarpages only has to offer one plan. Lunar Pages VPS is Linux only, with the CentOs 4.2 included with signup.
The Virtuozzo Power Panel, included as part of the package, is exquisite in how it streamlines the efficient operation of multiple websites from a single interface, but if you're used to cPanel or Plesk, you can opt for either of those too.
Security and Updates
Lunarpages uses DdoS protection to secure your data from numerous types of attacks. Beyond that, managed monitoring services are available for an extra $9.99 per month, giving you internal monitoring of your VPS and current notifications on threats to your data and software.
Firewall
Advanced Policy Firewall (APF), a modular, policy-based IP tables system maintained by R-fx Networks, is available for Linux server users.
Backup Services
For starters, each Lunarpages VPS client gets an extra 1 GB of FTP space just for backup storage.

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.
