cPanel Help, Tips and How-tos
By Mitch Keeler
Over the month of November I have been updating the Lunartics blog with all kinds of cPanel tips, how-tos and help articles. To finalize the cPanel theme for the month, what better round up could I share with the Lunarpages Newsletter audience than each tutorial that was written up this past month? Enjoy!
Need Help Setting Up Sub Domains?
Getting going with a sub domain inside of cPanel isn’t that difficult of a task to do - if you know the right steps to take to make it happen. The sub domain option allows you to add sub domains to your account. This feature is very useful as people can access subdirectories in your site through a simpler domain name than using your domain name and directory names.
Want Easy E-mail Account Setup (via cPanel)?
Getting going with your very own e-mail account is the first thing that many people do when they finally get that welcome e-mail in their inbox. From cPanel you have the ability to add extra e-mail accounts to your main account. You can setup as many as you have room and bandwidth to support - but let us not get ahead of ourselves.
How to Set up Password Protected Folders?
There are a few confusing issues with cPanel and how to get things going, and one of the most asked about cPanel features that some people have problems with is password protected folders. You can protect directories within your site from browsers by using a password to protect them. This allows you to restrict material to only authorized users or store sensitive material online. This has the same appearance and effect as the password protection on cPanel.
Can I Setup an FTP Account the Easy Way?
What is FTP all about? It stands for File Transfer Protocol. FTP is the TCP/IP standard way of transferring files across the Internet and between computers. An FTP account is the quickest and easiest way for you to get content up to your hosting account and down from your hosting account. If you need to transfer many files, using an FTP client is the best way to accomplish this.

How about some tips on configuring Spam Assassin? I must be doing something wrong as most of the entries in the configuration panels don’t see to have an effect like white and black listing.
