Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - (The Hosting News) - November 6, 2008 - Offering fully featured, no limits website monitoring from node locations around the world, free of charge, is UptimeSpy.

Chris Henning, Developer of the site noted, ”We’ve developed a monitoring service that offers world-class features and no usage limits for our users. By integrating UptimeSpy’s monitoring network with a real-time Host Metrics portal, we are able to serve both our users and the hosting community as a whole, all free of charge.”

The new service allows webmasters to monitor the performance of their sites and receive instant text message or email alerts if downtime is detected. UptimeSpy’s network of international monitoring nodes helps eliminate false alarms and allows the system to determine which geographical regions are affected by downtime or slow performance. This sensitivity allows webmasters to isolate problems more easily.

To get started with UptimeSpy, users simply create a free account and add as many domains or IP addresses as they would like to be monitored. Within their personalized control panel, users can configure individual node ping time sensitivity, alert methods, service types, monitoring intervals, and more.

In addition to personalized monitoring services, UptimeSpy offers a unique metrics portal that publicly displays the performance of leading Web hosting providers. The Host Metrics portal displays speeds for ping response, HTTP response, and average uptime as a percentage. The statistics allow users to verify or dispute the published guarantees of their Web host, and request SLA compensation.

UptimeSpy also provides HTML code for a real-time button displaying the average uptime statistic. Founding Sponsors, which allow UptimeSpy to operate as a free service, include Future Hosting (www.futurehosting.biz), Lunarpages (www.lunarpages.com), Webintellects (www.webintellects.com), and Superb Hosting (www.superbhosting.net).

Launched in 2008, UptimeSpy provides the industry’s first free, comprehensive worldwide geographic monitoring service, enabling webmasters to see real-time uptime and performance results from nodes located around the world. With no usage limits and an intuitive user interface, UptimeSpy provides a vital service to webmasters and Web hosting providers.

La Habra, California - (The Hosting News) - November 1, 2006 - Lunarpages.com, a multi award winning California-based web hosting company, has introduced comprehensive increases to the storage space and data transfer on its Business and Basic plans.

The Basic Plan now hosts 35 gigabytes of storage and 800 gigabytes of data transfer, while the Business Plan 50 Gigabytes of storage and 1 terabyte of data transfer. Lunarpages Executives also have a clear message to send its competitors.

Amy Armitage, of Lunarpages Business Development and Marketing commented, ”Honestly, do our shared customers need all of this extra bandwidth and space? Will they even use it? I doubt it. Lately, checking out hosting review sites and offerings of other hosts I’m incredibly concerned about the credibility of the industry as a whole. The reality is Lunarpages do need to remain competitive but we feel it is more important to concentrate on our service, reputation and our customers. For months I’ve cringed every time another press release lands in my inbox about data transfer increases that can’t always be responsibly delivered in a shared hosting environment. Can we deliver all of this transfer? Yes of course. Will this motivate our customers to suddenly become educated in ways to increase their traffic, probably not.”

According to the company, the enhancements have not affected the affordability of web hosting with Lunarpages, as their prices have remained unchanged for several years. In August, the addition of $700 of CoffeeCup Webmaster Software was given to its entire community, along with the option to purchase extra domains at $2.99 each.

Ron Riddle, CEO of Lunarpages Web Hosting added, ”The upgrades are simply cosmetic. We all know it and our customers know it. If our webmasters can make use of the extra space and transfer allowance and increase their traffic significantly, fantastic! We will back up our offerings as always. However, hopefully this will serve as a message to our peers to stop devaluing shared hosting and focus on what matters — Hosting websites, keeping them online, and providing responsive and quality support for your community.”

Ms. Armitage continued, ”If compliance and realistic limits and price points can be agreed upon, the winners will not only be our customers, they will be our businesses, because we will continue to be profitable, reputable, to grow, and best of all be eternal.”

July 24, 2006 — Web hosting provider Lunarpages announced on Friday it has cut the price on additional domain names from $14.95 to $2.99 each for a limited time for new and existing customers.

Lunarpages says the industry has become extremely competitive recently and that many Web hosts have been dropping their prices to the point that they are running at a loss and are resorting to overselling.

The company says customers have been surprised by its most recent offer, especially since it already provides a free domain for life. Domains purchased during this offer will also include renewals at the original price for as long as the customer is hosted with the company.
