Happy to help me out of $75, but nothing else.
I explained that I had told Lunarpages that I wanted CentOS 5, I'm not sure if it was when I first called, or when the representative called me back about my new account. In any case, it was before I had access to the server.
The full reply was:
"By default we do not offer Centos 5 unless specifically requested at setup. If you wish to have a new server formated with this version please provide us with the last 4 digits of billing method on file to authorize the upgrade and charge of $75 for a new server setup."
Anyhow, if anyone is reading this who might be thinking about a new dedicated server, note that:
1. Lunarpages hides the fact that CentOS 5 is available, but it most definitely is.
2. Have an email trail showing that you want CentOS 5 before giving Lunarpage your credit card number.
Of course, we are going to migrate default OS to centos 5 in the nearest feature as well.
Any hints on when Lunarpage will start this migration to CentOS 5?
