Things You Can Do With CPanel

All Shared Lunarpages Linux Web Hosting plans come standard with CPanel as the control panel, and even if you’re not familiar with the different control panels on the market to compare CPanel with, you’ll find CPanel to be the most user-friendly and intuitive. It comes equipped as an icon-based control panel, assisting you with everyday webmaster tasks, like setting up email accounts, uploading files and images, and creating databases.

So what can you with CPanel? Pretty much anything you want! Here’s a quick list of some of the amazing things CPanel website hosting has to offer.

Create Email Accounts

Ever wanted to have yourname@yourdomain.com? Or are you’re a business owner who needs to have 50 email logins for each of your employees? Well now you can, and it’s easier than ever to set up with CPanel and Lunarpages Web Hosting. With CPanel’s email creation, you can setup unlimited email addresses with names for all your employees, a ‘support’ or ‘sales’-specific email address, or any kind of address you’d like, all at yourdomain.com! You can also assign each inbox a password and storage quota to manage each employee or associate. Email hosting was never so easy.

Host Up to 10 Secondary Websites (Add-On Domains)

Lunarpages offers all customers on Basic or Business Web Hosting plans 10 Free Add-On domains! This is great news for all webmasters, as it means you can literally host 11 separate websites on 1 massive hosting plan.

Your first step would be to either register a new domain name with us or with another company. Keep in mind that if you register with another registrar, you’ll have to point your nameservers to Lunarpages in order for the domain to show on our end and this can take 24-48 hours for the redirect.

Adding an addon domain can be useful if you have multiple ideas for multiple websites. For example, you already run YourBusiness.com as a business entity, but you’d also like to start a website for your family to keep in touch (FamilySite.com). After you signup with YourBusiness.com (your primary domain name and website account), you can add FamilySite.com as an add-on domain and run both websites with completely separate content from the same hosting account! Because each site uses different folders within your CPanel file manager, you are assured the content will be kept separate.

Create SubDomains

SubDomains are incredibly useful. Unlike an add-on domain, a subdomain is very much related to the primary domain on your account. So using the examples above, if you’re hosting YourBusiness.com and you’ve decided to add a blog to that website, you might create blog.YourBusiness.com. If you add a chatroom, you may add chat.YourBusiness.com. More than likely a subdomain is going to have related content because the domain and subdomain titles are related. For example, Lunarpages.com is our primary domain but blog.lunarpages.com is a subdomain where we host our Lunartics Blog. With Lunarpages, you have the ability to create unlimited subdomains at any time, so use them as often as you’d like!

Install a Shopping Cart

Shopping carts can be used for any ecommerce activity on your website hosting account, so if you’re planning to run a business online, you’ll want to research the different options for shopping carts and payment gateways that are available to you through Lunarpages and elsewhere on the web.

Within CPanel, you can choose to do a one-click install of your choice of four different high-quality and fully-customizable shopping carts: AgoraCart, OsCommerce, CubeCart, and ZenCart.

…and a lot more!!

With Lunarpages and CPanel, your web hosting plan is nearly unlimited. You can create databases, forward emails, monitor web stats, install a blog , and manage every aspect of your website via easily accessible icon-based controls. Nothing could be simpler than maintaining your website through CPanel.
