When I was in L.A. a couple of weeks ago, I visited LunarPages' data center located in the One Wilshire building. This is just one of Lunar's 3 different data centers. They have another one in L.A. and a third one in Vegas.

We have a new coupon for hosting at LunarPages on a 12 month contract:

Coupon code 8offadd1 will get you $8 off plus 1 month free on a 12 month Basic, Business or Windows plan.

This is in addition to our previous coupon valid for 24 month contracts:

Coupon code B2 will get you $26 off plus 1 month free on 24 month plans.

Our take: If you do the math, this is what you really get:

• Coupon 8offadd1: ($6.95 * 12mo - $8) / 13 = $5.80/mo instead of $6.95.
• Coupon B2: ($6.95 * 24mo - $26) / 25 = $5.63/mo instead of $6.95.

Not bad at all!

LunarPages has a good reputation for their customer service in the shared hosting market. Until now their pricing made them most attractive for long term (24 month) plans. This coupon makes them a very serious candidate to consider for short term plans also.
