Lunarpages for Dedicated Server Hosting?

If you need a dedicated server to host your website(s) I am sure you are going to look around quite a bit. Prices, features, and service are quite different all over the place. I was recently doing research for a website of mine that has grown quite a bit and might need a dedicated web server as the next step to be able to provide visitors with a good experience. A friend of mine recommended Lunarpages. I know Lunarpages for shared web hosting and VPS hosting, but I never really considered them to be a web host for a dedicated web server.

I reviewed the dedicated server offerings and while the offers are Ok, I would not consider them my first choice when looking for a dedicated server. Why? There is not much choice and that choice that is available is very limited in its ability to compete with other web hosts that offer dedicated servers. If you visit Theplanet.com or Liquidweb.com you can customize a dedicated server to your needs. If you shop at Lunarpages you have no choices available when it comes to customization. The offered dedicated servers are cheap in price and if your needs are covered by the offered server offerings – good for you. But this type of web hosting offering does not fit the webmaster who requires something more special.

So, my conclusion is: if you need a basic dedicated web server at a low price, Lunarpages might be a great choice for you. If you need something more sophisticated and more powerful and don’t mind to pay a little more, then Theplanet.com or Liquidweb.com are your better choice.
