How reliable are LunaNode?

edited January 2016 in General

Seen lots of people talk about and recommended lunanode, signed up for an account and have spun up a few vm's in a virtual network. All worked well and the control panel does the job and the random question to support got answered.

Are they are production ready provider or just another nice dev environment, not that I will put all my eggs in one basket but wondering what people think of them? I am just hosting websites on port 443 no torrents, no dodge just want my sites to stay up.

  • I'd suggest changing your title, as the one you picked sounds a bit nefarious - when you're really just asking a question like "How reliable are LunaNode?".

    I've been a customer for 7-8 months now, no major issues. A few bouts of network downtime - once or maybe twice without notice, the other times were for upgrades that were done quite quickly.

    They seem legit to me. If not it seems the owner lives fairly close to me, so I can go pay him a visit ;)

    I was talking about @hbjlee17 - he has my address too, as I'm a customer, so if he wants to come hangout I'll go grab a case of beer.

    This is LET.. Now go find a $7 bottle of champagne for the man!

  • Man, I wish I were Canadian. Free cold, two major languages, specialized Canadian jokes(You have more kilometres on your snow blower than your car.),free snow, reasonably good currency and OVH DCs!

    I can't speak French since I failed to remember anything from high school. And our dollar sucks, always sucked, but now especially. 1 USD is about 1.4CAD, that means we are paying 40% more if we have to buy in USD and there's the conversation fee charged by CC company.

    Don't forget Nickelback and Justin Beiber!

  • I thought Justin Beiber was from North Korea.

    Lunanode has been very reliable for me.

    I'm gonna try this provide. Seems good!

  • I think I used them around a year before I moved. They are reliable. Did had a few downtime's which were resolved quickly.

  • We've been testing them out for a few months now with a few (5) small time servers. Overall, it's been pretty great. A few network blips, but nothing major. Has been very reliable.

    They have a status page at https://status.lunanode.com/ which is regularly updated. I can't recall an incident in which I didn't see an accompanying status post explaining the issue. Have received email alerts for planned maintenance/upgrades.

    The interface is pretty kickass and powerful. Some portions of it aren't entirely intuitive and do have a small learning curve, but reading over their wiki helps.

    Also, they just added Arch Linux templates. What more could I want :D

    Have you tried out their custom ISO? It's easy to add any distro you want and now they offer live snapshots of custom ISO virtual machines too :).

    Reliable? Yes. Alert and quick tech support. Competent - they really know what they are doing. Trustworthy - they tell like it is, even if they are at fault. Pretty rare in this industry and very refreshing. Flexible and helpful - they work with you to solve any unusual issue. Last but not least - one of the most innovative hosts around. This is not just a job for them, but a calling.

    EDIT: plus, as already mentioned by @Lexiii, good knowledgebase wiki, but it could be improved on as it lags a little behind all the new options they are implementing ;)

    Ack, this is true, we were going through the wiki after the new year and realized we still had stuff about registering through WHMCS x.x

  • Very good support & if you install the root system on a volume you have high availability. Upgrading a vm to a higher spec will be simpler too.

  • VMs used to be really slow at the beginning of the service, but now they're really fast and excellent :)
