Pros:Inexpensive; good feature list.
Cons:Blacklisted; occasional outages.

We had our domain and e-mail hosted by LP for almost two years. We had some problems with mail downtime, but all in all we got by alright. We then realized that our mail was being blacklisted by a few local servers in our area, probably because LP allows porn shops and other unsavoury businesses to be hosted on their servers, so some mail servers block ALL mail originating from a domain handled by Lunarpages.

Getting off mail server blacklists is not a small problem, and one that we knew was going to end our relationship with LP. If you want your mail to go through 100% without any trouble, you simply can't use Lunarpages. Your hosting provider has to "screen" clients whose businesses could end up blacklisting everyone hosted by that hosting provider. So while they offer good value, I still can't recommend them to anyone.
