Due to high resource utilization. We use Lunar pages as simple redirect and direct image access. All heavy math is done on dedicated servers and that redirect pages are kind of load-balancing solution. We already forced to move our forums, blog, wiki off Lunar pages. Now they complain that tiny image downloads (i.e. http://wikisky.org/star_img_thumb/904/904673.jpeg) consume too much resources… They advertise UNLIMITED disk space while other providers (like 1and1) have disk caps 150-300GB. We keep there around 350GB of images. And now they’re saying it’s too much for their poor servers. Then why to offer unlimited space in first place? The most annoying thing is that they always suspend account without prior notice. Terrible service! I’m so want to move out of there…

We decided to move to Lunar Pages based on many positive review of their high up-time and friendly technical support. Well, that action didn’t look “friendly” at all, making me believe to one or two complains that Lunar Pages falsified ratings by fabricating positive reviews. For now we will keep two front-end copies on different providers, but in future we’d like to move this last part of SKY-MAP system on dedicated server as well.
