A Web Hosting Guide

This isn’t a good time to be Lunarpages. After making a huge mistake by hijacking their users’ 404 pages and turning them into ads, rewriting their TOS after the fact, censoring their forum, etc… Dreamhost has stepped up and offered Lunarpage Refugees a full year of hosting for free.

Read this Dreamhost blog entry for more info.

If you’re a Lunarpages customer and would like to switch to Dreamhost, you can use their LOONEYPAGES promo code for one free year of hosting. NOTE: This will NOT work unless you are a Lunarpages customer.

Update: Josh from Dreamhost has mentioned that in order for the promo code to work, you have to choose that you want to transfer your domain registration to Dreamhost during the sign-up process–but you don’t actually have to transfer it.  Just enter a fake auth code if you wish to leave your domain registration as-is.

Here’s a thread at Webhosting Talk with more info and updates from current customers.

And here’s an interesting post from a girl that used to work for Lunarpages.
