I have a new client that signed up Friday with lp and still haven't received the server info.  How long does this normally take? Their current host expires tomorrow and they are concerned about their email. Let me know, thanks.

If they paid by credit card, it should be up within a few hours. Other forms of payment (such as PayPal) may take a few days to clear and receive payment at LP. Be sure to check your junk/bulk/spam email folder for the account information -- it often ends up there because LP never figured out how to put LP-common links on one page, server-common links on another page, and only account-specific links in the mail (unless they fixed this recently). If it's nowhere to be found, open a support ticket. Billing is closed on weekends and nights, so support may not be able to help until Monday morning, but you can try. If it's a case of just resending the account information, they may be able to do it, but if there's a hangup in the payment, they may not.

Hi tas,

They are usually activated with a few hours however if there are discrepancies in the data submitted it can get delayed and we'll request added information. Things like having your web designer sign up for the account from their location (and their IP) or under their name but with your credit card will get the order flagged. That's not all inclusive but gives an idea of possible causes. If you haven't done so already, I would recommend email sales@lunarpages.com and they can check into the status for you.

If the credit card is treated as a normal credit card for PayPal, it wouldn't work any differently than any other credit card works, so the question is relatively moot since it would basically be a credit card. Thus, I don't understand the point of the question if the credit card from PayPal is a normal credit card frankly.

Since paypal "credit cards" (they are really debit cards) are Mastercard, they would be treated the same as any credit card.  (I used one before on my personal account, took about 2 hours for setup)

When signing up, you will want to insure that you use the same information as what the billing information for the card is, also make sure that you use a valid email address when signing up, as if there are any issues that could result in a delay, you will be contacted at the email address you use.

If your account is still not setup, you will want to send an email to support@lunarpages.com or login to support.lunarpages.com and submit a ticket.  When submitting the ticket, make sure to include the domain name you used when signing up, as well as the last 4 digits of the card on record.

Hi I have a similar problem like Tas, about 4 hours a go I signed up for a hosting plan - have made a payment - sending my scanned ID card with Photo ID  via email and it's been over 3 hours but my account has not been approved yet, I really need to have my account set up and I have several blogs that need to OL now

Is it possible to make the approval process faster?

Regards

What is your ticket number, and I'll have them take a look.  In most cases, new accounts are setup within 24 hours.

Not in most occasions, in most cases scans are only needed if something doesn't match up on your order, such as the location you give and the location your order was made from.  It is an extra layer of security, so that we can eliminate fake orders and credit card fraud.
