Hi,

Im very interested in buying the reseller package, the price is very nice and the features aint half that bad either, though I would expect more disk space, 1gig is still not bad.

However I do have some doubts, as with other hosts that had nice offers like this, there was always a catch after I registered (dot5hosting only allowing email to be used on one of your domains.. what the heck?!) so here are a few questions..

Question 1:
When I sign up I would like to take the option "3 month pre paid accounts $9.95/mo with a $15.00 set up" because I want to find out what its like before going for a full year, but here it says 'accounts' instead of 'account' (note the extra 's').. what exactly does this mean?

Question 2:
Also, the option for 3 months prepaid, does it mean I have a contract for a year and pay once every 3 months or does it simply mean my contract will be renewed every 3 months?

Question 3:
If I select new domain, and enter 3 free domains, will I still be able to add the domains I already own to the account aswell? I expect this will still be possible, especially because its a reseller account, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Question 4:
Also when I select these 3 free domains, while I have the option for 3 months prepaid selected, are they still fully free? Because a domain is for a year and the contract would innitially only be for 3 months.

Question 5:
Will I be the owner of these 3 free domains?

Question 6:
If I register without entering free domains but I just enter my existing domain, will I be able to register these 3 free domains later, after my account is created at lunarpages?

Question 7:
Currently 2 of my domains are 'hosted' at Host Department which is a fine place to have them hosted, but I'd prefer to have everything in one place, is it possible to transfer these -so to speak- to lunarpages so I can renew and change them here?

That's all my questions for now.. I'm sorry if some sound a bit obvious, but like I said, I'd rather be safe than sorry Smile

I also are thinking of the reseller package.
I already have one with another host but the last year there have been so much trouble with attacks on the server and that means a lot of downtime. So I'm thinking of moving to another host.

Some years ago I had you as webhost and that's why I'm back here looking.

And of course some questions I do have.

I already host 13 accounts on the package I have. 3 of them are my own pages including a forum that I will move to a new reseller account if I decide to move. also including 1 mailaccount only.

All domains are already registered so I don't need any free . What I do need is more then 1000 MB cause the forum itself takes 500 mb and I belive it will grow and then maybee need even more.

And as for the rest they have 100 mb each. I don't understand what it means in your reseller package. Do I have to sign up for the accounts needed? I think like this. I host now 12 pages including the forum. Do I then have to sign up for 13 accounts, in the resellerpackage?

Cause in the future I don't know how many accounts I will need right?And I guess I might be needing more. Today I have 10 000 mb available and then used 1400 mb I guess I don't need 10 000 but maybe the half

And is it possible to have more then 1000mb awailable? and for what price?

Sorry for asking I am one of those who need it in details Smile I am Norwegian and sometimes I need more explanations then for those who has English as there native language.

Thank you for reading

Well with the reseller package, you purchase a new plan for reach project or person you wish to host.  That is the reason for the extra "s" in there. 

Question 2:
Also, the option for 3 months prepaid, does it mean I have a contract for a year and pay once every 3 months or does it simply mean my contract will be renewed every 3 months?


This means that your payments should be billed every three months.

Question 3:
If I select new domain, and enter 3 free domains, will I still be able to add the domains I already own to the account aswell? I expect this will still be possible, especially because its a reseller account, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.


Yes, when you are ready to host a new project, you can get another reseller plan added to your account and host more domains.

Question 4:
Also when I select these 3 free domains, while I have the option for 3 months prepaid selected, are they still fully free? Because a domain is for a year and the contract would innitially only be for 3 months.


Resellers get up to 3 free domains. If you purchase a reseller account at full price, you get a free domain. After this, additional domains are $7.95 per domain.

Question 5:
Will I be the owner of these 3 free domains?


Yes

Question 6:
If I register without entering free domains but I just enter my existing domain, will I be able to register these 3 free domains later, after my account is created at lunarpages?


Yes, you can use them anytime.  So if you do not want to use them when you sign up, you can save them for later.

Question 7:
Currently 2 of my domains are 'hosted' at Host Department which is a fine place to have them hosted, but I'd prefer to have everything in one place, is it possible to transfer these -so to speak- to lunarpages so I can renew and change them here?


For more on domain name transfers, I would check out this link:

Think I got everything covered. (I'm still running on Christmas turkey!) The way the reseller plans work is that you purchase a new plan for each project you wish to host.  This in turn makes you your own "little Lunarpages".  If you have any other questions, please let us know. Smile
