I have a friend who wants to start a new website. Initially it will be just a few static pages (résumé, etc.), but I could add on a WordPress blog and perhaps eventually a small store. It should fit within the 5GB Starter Plan and probably (for a while) fit the 50GB bandwidth limit. I realize that there is an upgrade path to Basic, if she needs it. A few questions:

1) Is this plan just like Basic, except for a few caps and limits (file/database/mail size of 5GB, bandwidth limitation, only 1 database)? I don't want to advise her to get this plan and then find out there's some "gotcha" where we can't do something. A list of the specific differences (limits) compared to Basic would be useful.

2) Assuming this is under LPCP, can access be controlled through ID/password-protected directories? She wants to limit who can see certain things to invited people.

3) She will be providing a separately-registered domain name. Does this work just like Basic, or does the domain name have to be registered through LP/Tucows? She has a second domain name -- I understand that there are no add-on domains with this plan, so she would have to buy a second plan (or move up to Basic)?

4) The plan says it's $2.95/month. How many months have to be paid up front to get that rate? She could probably swing paying for 12 months at a time, but not 24 or 60. No setup fee, right?

5) Is the Starter Plan still not covered under the Affiliate program? If it is now eligible, I would have her sign up through my Affiliate link.

Hey MrPhil, you are correct with the general feeling/vibe of the Starter hosting plan.  The limitations of the plan are described on the page for it, basically being:

  • 1 MySQL Database
  • 50 GB Bandwidth
  • 5 GB Disk Space
  • No Phone Support
  • No Addon Domains
  • 1 FTP Account
  • 5 E-mail Accounts

Yes, you can setup and control password-protected directories in LPCP.  Here is a tutorial covering the process:

http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Password_Protect_Directories_in_LPCP

Your domain name could still be registered anywhere, as long as it points at our nameservers (like with the other hosting plans) but Starter plan limits you to 1 domain name.

The billing breakdown for the Starter hosting plan looks like this:

24 Months (2.95 USD per/month) = $70.80 at sign-up
12 Months (2.95 USD per/month) = $35.40 at sign-up

The Starter plan is not covered by the Lunarpages Affiliate Program due to the low cost of the plan itself.  So I'm afraid if she signed up for the Starter hosting plan, it could not be counted as an affiliate credit.

Think I covered all the bases MrPhil, but you be sure to let me know if I let a stone unturned. Smile

There's no expiration date at this time, no plans to remove the plan - so you should be good there. Smile
