Hi Francesco Petracca, you are indeed lucky to have Lunarpages as your webhost. They didn't kick you out like what Maiahost did to me when they claimed that I exceeded their 1.5% CPU usage limit for my Maiahost Multiple Plan.
I was in the midst of writing an article when my website was suddenly suspended. I immediately contacted Online Chat Help and was told that I touched 2.6% CPU limit. I then contacted Technical Support and they said I touched 10%! When I asked for proof because of the discrepancy (2.6% vs 10%), they said they will give me in a few days time. Maybe they need to adjust something or discuss how to explain away the discrepancy, LOL. I disabled Dummipedia.org, my biggest website, and offered to disable some smaller ones, too, but they insisted that I MUST upgrade to VDS or get lost. I asked them whether it is true that once you touch 1.5%, there is no turning back, even if I disabled some of my websites and they just said: "We don't want you here." And the big joke is I don't even have a total of 500 visitors a day for all my websites added together. Remember I bought a Maiahost Multiple Plan, not a Single Plan. My monthly bandwidth transfer was only 5% of the advertised allocation of 50G (ie. 2,352MB) and I was using Mediawiki Version 1.14, not 1.15. So Mediawiki users, beware who you choose to host for your websites. Lunarpages does indeed sound like a very good webhost.
