			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, you know it&#8217;s May when all the flowers are in bloom and the weather feels like summer. Here in California we&#8217;ve had some extremely hot days (I think we had a couple record-breakers recently!), but overall it&#8217;s incredibly nice to get back to warm weather.</p>
<p>In the world of all things Lunarpages, here&#8217;s the low down for May 2009:</p>

<p>We hate to say it, but the time has finally come to end the $4.95 Spring Special for 12 and 24 month plans. But there is good news, too!! Since we had such an incredible success with our $4.95/month price, we have decided to extend this as a special deal for longer contracts. So, if you would like to take advantage of the $4.95/month hosting offer, you can signup for a 5-year billing cycle and still receive this phenomenal deal!</p>
<p><strong>Lunarpages Website of the Month April 2009</strong></p>
<p>Congratulations to <a title="My Design and Scrap" href="http://www.mylifeandscrap.com/" target="_blank">My Design &amp; Scrap</a>, one of the most interested sites of the month I&#8217;ve seen in a while! The reason this website is so interesting to us here at Lunarpages is because most of us had never heard of &#8220;digiscrapping&#8221; before. Now before you go thinking it is the newest dance craze sweeping the nation, I will fill you in&#8211;digiscrapping is digital scrapbook design! Definitely worth a look to see some of the amazing creations this digiscrapper has come up with.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>Author: Mitch Keeler</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">This month we have somebody new stepping out from behind the support ticket and help desk, taking time off from working hard at Lunarpages to answer some questions.  Tiara Rea is the Affiliate Program Manager for Lunarpages.  Not only is she an affiliate mastermind, but also she has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.  How is that for impressive?  As somebody who has trained under her I can tell you first hand, she is more than knowledgeable in the world of affiliates and is by far one of the most interesting people I have had the privilege to meet while working with Lunarpages.  With that said, let us get on to the first question&#8230;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>To our Lunarpages Affiliates, you are a friendly face and helpful hand; however to other hosting clients, the appendage metaphor might not be the best to use, since they are not as familiar with you. </strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>Could you let us know your title and day to day roles here at Lunarpages?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Yep, I am the Affiliate Program Manager here at Lunarpages, which means I handle most of the affiliate-related inquiries our customers and affiliates have. So if you want to refer your friends to Lunarpages and make $65-180 for it, you&#8217;ll probably end up speaking with me! I also take a lot of business development emails, write for our Web Hosting Newsletter, and do most of the copywriting and editing for our websites, too. But the Affiliate Department is definitely my favorite aspect of my job, since it keeps me in touch with our customers and affiliates. I love helping them earn money!</p>
<p><span id="more-1085"></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong> So, in a nutshell, you help people make more money.  You must deal with a lot of happy people!  What would you say is the biggest misconception with affiliate plans, in general?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">There are two big misconceptions, actually: 1) That affiliate programs are &#8220;get rich quick schemes&#8221; and 2) that they are only for huge websites or corporations.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">1) You would be surprised by how many customers disregard the Affiliate Program because they think it&#8217;s some kind of scheme or that it costs money. I love their surprise when I tell them, &#8220;No, there is absolutely no cost, and if you refer 4 people to Lunarpages, that&#8217;s at least a free $260 in your pocket!&#8221; There&#8217;s no scheme, no cost, and it&#8217;s EASY. That&#8217;s the best part! It&#8217;s not a scheme or some kind of pyramid trap—if you refer a customer our way, you earn $65-180 for that sale. No hoops, no schemes, no tricks; just another way to help you make some extra cash.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">2) Our Affiliate Program works for the stay-at-home mom referring her friends and family or the Business Tycoon referring partners, colleagues, and clients. We have about 80,000 affiliates, and they range from those who refer a couple people every year to those who refer a couple every day. It all varies, but it&#8217;s all free money in the long run, so there are phenomenal benefits to joining.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>In the past few months, we have talked with a lot of remotes, but you actually get to report to the office!  Give me some inside dirt, and feel free to change names to protect the innocent.</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Our office in Anaheim is SO NICE!! I can&#8217;t even describe how great it is to come into work here every day. Oh, but you want the dirt… Hmm… Does an interoffice water-balloon fight count as dishing the dirt? <img src='http://www.web-hosting-newsletter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Nah, it&#8217;s fantastic here. Not that I don&#8217;t envy remotes, who can &#8220;go to work&#8221; in their PJs, though…</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>What do you do when you&#8217;re not helping people make more money?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I love to write, play my guitar, knit, visit Disneyland, and nerd out with my roommates over our obsession with Harry Potter. Really, we&#8217;d all rather sit around discussing Dumbledore&#8217;s intentions in <em>Half-Blood Prince</em> than go out clubbing or something (I know: Nerd Alert!). Oh, and I love the beach!! It&#8217;s one of the best things about living in California.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>Do you have any overlooked affiliate-related tips you could share?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">For small affiliates who may only refer a handful of customers every year, I&#8217;d recommend putting a link to your Affiliate Tracking URL on your website. You would be surprised at how much strangers may value your recommendation for hosting.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">For medium-sized affiliates who refer a couple customers every month, if you haven&#8217;t gotten in touch with me yet, you should definitely do so. I am always willing to help you make the jump from medium to big! Also, are you promoting all of our plans? If not, look into <span style="color: #0000ff;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.lunarpages.com/quicksite-hosting/">Quicksite</a></span></span></span> ($75/sale) and <span style="color: #0000ff;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.lpdedicated.com/">Dedicated Hosting</a></span></span></span> ($180/sale) to boost your income.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">And for big affiliates, branching out to new niches is always good. Keeping in touch with me at all times also ensures we are working hand-in-hand to keep your income rocking.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>When they write the book and then later make the movie (which is nothing like the book) about your life, what is one thing about you that you hope they get right?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">My love for music, writing, and animals are all really important aspects of my personality. But also I hope in the movie they can capture the nerdy parts of my life too. <img src='http://www.web-hosting-newsletter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  I would my future Hollywood director would choose someone cool and exotic like Thora Birch to play me as well.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>Do you have any projects or web sites outside of Lunarpages?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I have a personal blog where I keep in touch with my friends, and I also do a lot of writing for the magazine <span style="color: #0000ff;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.pingzine.com/"><em>PingZine</em></a></span></span></span>. I&#8217;m also about to go back to school to take some additional creative writing and music classes, which I am extremely excited about!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>How did you get started in the wild and wacky web hosting world?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Like most of the people in this industry, it was a complete accident. I had just moved to California and was applying at Lunarpages for a Customer Service position. Amy Armitage, my fantastic colleague here at Lunarpages, actually stole me from the CSR position I was applying for and asked me to join her team instead. My responsibilities just grew from there, from minor affiliate stuff to Sales calls and now to developing and managing the Affiliate Program; it&#8217;s just all fantastic. I know everyone we interview says so, but Lunarpages really is an awesome place to work.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>If you were not involved in the web hosting business, where might you be?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I think I would be teaching in a creative writing or music setting, or writing a really fantastic novel or book of poetry. I do a lot of writing and music on the side, so it would definitely involve one of those aspects.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>Why should average customer come talk with you about signing up with the Lunarpages Affiliate Program?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Because it&#8217;s easy, it&#8217;s 100% free, and you can earn big bucks just by referring friends, family members, coworkers, and even strangers. Give me a call or shoot me an email and I&#8217;d be pleased to help you get started earning $65-180 per sale! 877-586-2772 x4 or <a href="mailto:affiliate@lunarpages.com">affiliate@lunarpages.com</a>.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">There you have it, one on one with our master of the affiliates, Tiara Rea!  Be sure to check out some of the <a href="http://www.web-hosting-newsletter.com/category/interviews/">past Lunarpages interviews</a> we have done too, for more information on the people that are helping you out each and every day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author: Mitch Keeler</strong></p>
<p><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="Test your fonts!" src="http://www.web-hosting-newsletter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/font-tester-logo.jpg" border="0" alt="Test your fonts!" width="183" height="57" /></p>
<p>Need to compare fonts before you make that next big change to your web site’s design?  <strong>Font Tester</strong> is a web site that will allow you to do that online and for free.  With it, it is easy to preview and compare different font views side by side with various CSS font styles applied to them.</p>
<p>For example, here is the Tahoma font in the small size compared to the Comic Sans font set to a medium size.</p>
<p><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="Font Tester Example" src="http://www.web-hosting-newsletter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/image.png" border="0" alt="Font Tester Example" width="397" height="102" /></p>
<p>You can also change things like the line height, font style, letter spacing, direction and more.  I honestly thing you could possibly spend hours here just customizing your text to meet your web site’s design needs.</p>
<p>Once you are done, you can click on the “Get CSS Code” link to grab the CSS code you will need to get the same look and feel on your own design.  An extremely simple to use tool that should help save time for anybody who designs web sites, <a href="http://www.fonttester.com/">Font Tester</a> is an online tool everybody should have bookmarked.</p>

<p><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; border-right-width: 0px" title="twitter_logo_header" src="http://www.web-hosting-newsletter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/twitter-logo-header.png" border="0" alt="twitter_logo_header" width="155" height="36" align="right" /> As the resident tweeter for Lunarpages, I have learned a lot about this service over the years.  At first glance, I thought it was kind of lame.  I mean, how much can you do in 140 characters?  However with time, it has become a useful and addictive part of my day to day life.  So what is <a href="http://www.twitter.com/lunarpages">Twitter</a>, what is it good for and how can you get it to working for you?</p>
<p><strong>What is Twitter Good For?</strong></p>
<p>Twitter, the popular micro-blogging service, gives you an easy way to share short messages with your friends or with the world.  It helps you stay connected in real-time with people all around the world.  Many people use it to talk to their friends.  Others might use it to share something they just produced.  The way you use Twitter is totally up to you.  You can get sign up for Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/signup">here</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-1073"></span></p>
<p>Here is some Twitter lingo you might want to become familiar with:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Twitter</span> – The name of the service</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Twittering</span> – The act of posting on Twitter</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tweet</span> – A message on Twitter</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">RT (or Re-Tweet)</span> – When you copy somebody else’s message and post it on your own Twitter profile</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How Can Twitter Help You and Your Brand?</strong></p>
<p>Now, this aspect to Twitter is something that is near and dear to my heart.  I love finding out how to use tools in ways to benefit my various web projects.  Who doesn’t, right?  For many, Twitter is a way to pass out a link to something you just did.  For example, I might post this article on Twitter.  That way the people following me on Twitter will see it, come back and read.  The same could be said for videos you might produce, audio you might upload, or any other media content creation you do.  Twitter acts as a great way to get the word out.</p>
<p><strong>Tweeting Tips!</strong></p>
<p>When interacting on Twitter, remember these tips:</p>
<p><em>Don’t follow hundreds of people, without having one follower yourself.</em> This is often seen as a form of spam.  Honestly, if you saw somebody was following 300 people and only had one person following him, would you think that person is very interesting?  I think not.</p>
<p><em>Don’t over-tweet yourself.</em> As addicting as Twitter might be, you don’t want to spam those people who follow you with a lot of your own replies back to other tweets on Twitter.  If you want to reply to tweets, try to divide your replies up throughout the day with some useful unique tweets of your own in-between.</p>
<p><em>When replying to a tweet, remember other people are watching.</em> I often see replies they say, <strong>@user thanks!</strong> and that is it.  Thanks for what?  What did you do, and why do you want to share this with me?  When replying, put something in your reply that keeps the conversation in context.  As an example, <strong>@user thanks for your positive feedback about my web site!</strong> Then, remember to toss a link in there too, so others can see how great your web site is.</p>
<p><strong>Resources to Help You Become a Better Tweeter&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Looking for another way (other than that Twitter web site) to send your tweets?  There are a number of different applications out there to help.  Personally I like Twhirl and TweetDeck.  However, you can find tons of clients, widget and more <a href="http://twitter.com/downloads">on the Twitter downloads page</a>.</p>
<p>Also, don’t forget to follow your favorite web host, once you get that Twitter account setup.  You can find us <a href="http://twitter.com/lunarpages">@lunarpages</a>.  See you there!</p>

<p>In this current economy, it&#8217;s more important than ever to find amazing deals on products you are looking to buy. But for people like me, who don&#8217;t have time to run around bargain shopping and pricing at the mall, it&#8217;s much easier to hunt for promotions online. For example, this past weekend I was looking for two semi-rare comic books (<em>I know, I am a nerd</em>). At Borders, I found one of them, for around $20 with tax; the other was not in store, nor anywhere close nearby, and a bit expensive at $35. After searching online, I was able to purchase both books for $25!!</p>
<p>See, mom? Shopping online is a GOOD thing.</p>
<p>So here are some fantastic discount shopping websites that could help you find the products you need at prices you can afford.</p>
<p><span id="more-1090"></span><br />
<a href="http://www.slickdeals.net"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1091" title="slickdeals_logo" src="http://www.web-hosting-newsletter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/slickdeals_logo.png" alt="slickdeals_logo" width="300" height="87" /></a><a title="SlickDeals" href="http://www.slickdeals.net" target="_blank">SlickDeals</a> has been around since 1999 and is well-regarded as one of the best places to find deals online. Since it&#8217;s a user-driven sharing site, all the deals and discounts are provided by people just like you! So you know they mean what they say if they are recommending a product or promotion. You can find amazing discounts on clothes and shoes, electronics, internet products, appliances, and more. The best part is that they really took the time to setup their website so you can find everything easily.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fatwallet.com"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1092" title="fatwallet_logo" src="http://www.web-hosting-newsletter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/fatwallet_logo.png" alt="fatwallet_logo" width="288" height="62" /></a>Also launched in 1999, <a title="FatWallet" href="http://www.fatwallet.com" target="_blank">FatWallet </a>is one of my absolute favorite websites, because you can not only bargain hunt but also receive cash back for your purchases! FatWallet is partnered with some of the biggest and best in the world, like Buy.com, HP, Orbitz, and more. So even if you need to book travel reservations, there is likely a fantastic deal waiting for you—and maybe even some cash back in your pocket for your troubles. The minimum balance to receive a payout on your cash back is only $10, so it&#8217;s definitely a worthwhile opportunity.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dealio.com"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1093" title="dealio_logo" src="http://www.web-hosting-newsletter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dealio_logo.png" alt="dealio_logo" width="192" height="68" /></a>Besides having the cutest name ever, <a title="Dealio" href="http://www.dealio.com" target="_blank">Dealio </a>is also an up-and-coming deal website, where you can shop or promote deals of every fashion. Whether you are looking for the latest Nordstrom or Target coupons or need something from the Home Depot or sephora, Dealio&#8217;s got you covered. You can search by product, store, or coupons and deals. I adore the layout and ease of this website, and as they expand and grow, I know they will become a great resource for all your online shopping needs!</p>
<p>What are your favorite deal and discount sites? We&#8217;d love to hear from you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author: Mitch Keeler</strong></p>
<p>The Lunarpages web hosting plans and packages do come with a lot of new tasks, and responsibilities. Some might be rather daunting, while others are for your own protection. We want to make sure every Lunarpages customer is informed about their web hosting plan, so they are ready to conquer any challenge that they might meet. So, with that in mind we wanted to put together a list of ten things that every customer with Lunarpages should know or be aware of.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Keep Your Contact Information Up To Date</span> </strong></p>
<p>It is very important to make sure all of your contact information that we have on record for your account is correct and up to date. Items such as billing information, your e-mail address, and phone numbers are very important for us to have on hand, just in case we need to reach you in the case of an emergency. Also, with your e-mail address please make sure the e-mail address on record for your account is not associated with any domains you are hosting with us.</p>
<p>All hosting accounts are renewed 14 days prior to the renewal date, and an account can be suspended 30 days after the renewal date and then ultimately deleted if we do not hear back from you.</p>
<ul>

<li><a href="http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Payment_Options">Where to Check and Change your Billing and Contact Information</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Backup Your Hosting Account</span></strong></p>
<p>One of the most important things you can do for yourself, that only takes a matter of minutes, is backing up your web hosting account. If you are doing your own backups, it is suggested that you work out a schedule that works out best for you and stick with it. Depending on how often you update your web site, this might be once a week or once every few days. To make sure your ready for any issue that might come up, have a good backup plan in place and keep in mind that your files are your responsibility.</p>
<p><span id="more-1095"></span></p>
<p>We have several ways you can backup depending on your web hosting plan. You can check out these options on <a href="http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Backup">our post covering backups</a> here on the wiki. Here are a few more links worth checking into:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Adding_Features/Premium_Restore">How to Add Premium Restore to Your Hosting Account</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.lunarpages.com/tutorials/tutorial_files/cpanel_xv2_backup.htm">Backing up Your Site with cPanel (Video Tutorial)</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.lunarpages.com/tutorials/tutorial_files/plesk75_eu_backup.htm">Backing up Your Site with Plesk (Video Tutorial)</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Please Note: At this time LPQuicksite customers do not have these backup options.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Know Your E-Mail Account Usage Limits</span></strong></p>
<p>When setting up an e-mail account, you can set the disk space limitation on that e-mail account. Many times, this is ignored and customers have issues receiving e-mails because they are out of room. When or if an e-mail address runs out of disk space to store mail, any messages sent to you will not be received, and instead will be bounced back to the sender.</p>
<ul>

<li><a href="http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Category:E-Mail">More E-mail Account Tutorials and Help</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">File and Folder Permissions</span></strong></p>
<p>Having your files and folders set to the wrong permissions can cause great security issues for you. If your folders or files need to be CHMODed for a script or service to work, make sure that .php files remain at the permission level 644 (unless otherwise stated in a script&#8217;s instructions) and the folders are set to 755. You should never CHMOD to 777 for security reasons. We run PHP as suPHP on our servers. All files on your account are owned by your user name. Due to this, permissions of 777 will not work. They will give an internal server error.</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<p><strong>Please Note: This is aimed towards Linux-Based hosting customers on the Basic, Business, Reseller and Linux-based VPS and Dedicated hosting plans)</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How to Contact the Lunarpages Support Team</span></strong></p>
<p>Needing assistance? Here are several ways for you to get assistance with your hosting account from our support crew. We realize not every question is created equal so here are some helpful notes to make sure you make the best use of your time and ours when contacting us. If you are having a server side issue, you should contact our support team directly by:</p>
<ul>
<li>Placing in a Ticket to the Help Desk</li>
<li>Giving us a Phone Call</li>
<li>Send us an E-Mail</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Support">This page</a> from our wiki has all of our support methods documented.</p>
<p>If you feel the issue will require changes to your hosting account, <strong>please be sure to include your verification information.</strong> This should include the primary domain name, the account user name and the last four digits of the credit card on record. If the account doesn&#8217;t have a credit card on record, please submit the first and last digits of your password, phone number (including area code), your full postal address and zip code.</p>

</ul>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Suspended Account Issues</span></strong></p>
<p>Finding yourself with a suspended account can be one of the worst things around, however we will work with you so that we can get your issue resolved as quickly as possible. Due to the nature of suspended accounts (with the possibility that your account is infected with something bad or causing too much strain to the other Lunarpages customers) the response times for these types of situations are often longer. This is because our server administrators must review these situations to make sure whatever caused your account to get suspended will no longer be an issue.</p>
<p>For more information about suspended accounts, and what you should do, please check our FAQ below.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Suspended_Account_FAQ">Frequently Asked Questions about Suspended Accounts</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Keep Your Scripts Up To Date</span></strong></p>
<p>It is your responsibility to make sure that all scripts and services you install are kept up to date. Often, third party scripts and services (like blog or message board scripts) are patched to fix security and performance issues. We need for all customers to be able to keep up to date with the most recent version of any script installed on a hosting account.</p>
<p>The best place to check to see if a script had an update, would be via Fantastico (if you are on a cPanel enabled web hosting account) or from the script&#8217;s official web site.</p>
<ul>

<li><a href="http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Category:Third_Party_Scripts">Third Party Scripts and Services</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Please Note: The LPQuicksite hosting plan does not support the installation of third party scripts or services on the server.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Help Desk and Account Logins</span></strong></p>
<p>Please be aware that your help desk login user name and password and your hosting account user name and password are not related. If you have not signed up for our help desk yet, you can do so here:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://support.lunarpages.com/account/signup">Sign up for the Lunarpages Help Desk</a></li>
</ul>
<p>If you send an email to <em>support@lunarpages.com</em> before signing up for a help desk account a user account is automatically created based on your e-mail address. If you wish to use the same login information for your help desk login and your hosting account login, make sure you use the same user name and password when you are registering your help desk account.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Account_and_Control_Panel_Logins">More Help with Lunarpages Account Logins</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Domain Transfers Requests</span></strong></p>
<p>Domain name transfers are not automatic. If you have your domain registered at another registrar and you wish to have it transferred here you must contact us to request this.

<p>When I was working on my senior thesis in college, I understood wholeheartedly the importance in saving my work every few minutes. I also kept a saved file of the entire document on a separate CD and emailed a copy to myself after each editing session. So even if my computer died and I ran over the CD with my car, I could still download the file from my email and turn it in for my A+ (Yes, I was an overachiever)!</p>
<p>But backing up important documents on your computer isn&#8217;t the only thing you need to worry about&#8211;what if something happens to your website?</p>
<p><span id="more-1097"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s the last thing you would ever want to think of, but imagine if, in the process of uploading files to your website, you accidentally deleted some crucial files. Or you overwrite something that shouldn&#8217;t be. Now you&#8217;re going to have to start all over in creating your website, right? Wrong!</p>
<p>If you have a backup of your website, you can simply upload it and have a fully-functional version of your website, just as it looks before any accidental deletes or overwrites, in minutes!!</p>
<p>Ready to get started backing up your website? Check out our phenomenal tutorial over at the <a title="Lunarpages Wiki" href="http://www.wiki.lunarpages.com" target="_blank">Lunarpages Wiki</a> called: <a title="Backup from CPanel" href="http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Backup_from_cPanel" target="_blank">Backup from CPanel</a>.</p>
<p>We also have a video tutorial, for those of you who are visual learners, via <a title="How to Backup Your Website Using cPanel" href="http://www.lunarpages.com/tutorials/tutorial_files/cpanel_xv2_backup.htm" target="_blank">How to Backup Your Website Using cPanel</a>.</p>
<p>And finally, if you&#8217;re still stuck, you have two fantastic options:</p>
<p>1. Give us a call and we can help you out over the phone!<br />
2. Purchase the Premium Restore Service and we can backup your files for free</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s time to save this article so I don&#8217;t accidentally delete it. <img src='http://www.web-hosting-newsletter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Some people might say our support team is like a band of super heroes themselves, so I thought I would turn to our Lunarpages Justice League with a little question.</p>
<p><em>Who is the best super hero, and why?</em></p>
<p>Asking around behind the scenes here at Lunarpages, I got some interesting answers as to who our support workers think is the best super hero and why.</p>
<p><span id="more-1105"></span></p>
<p><strong>Deb (CSR)</strong> – Superman <em>“&#8230;because I like a man with chiseled features.  Hahaha!”</em></p>
<p><strong>Flora (CSR)</strong> – Zorro  <em>“He is the protector of the people, righteous and cunning.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Matthew O (CSR)</strong> – The Tick <em>“It helps to be positive in a negative world.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Tiara (Affiliate Program Manager)</strong> – Robin/Nightwing <em>“Probably my favorite, because I have a soft spot for kids who kick butt and overcome the odds.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Orlando (Account Executive)</strong> – Neo (from the Matrix) <em>“Neo is my hero because he walks a path that he never fully understands yet he always adapts to it.  Always changing, never stops growing.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Roy (CSR)</strong> – Punisher <em>“Punisher, because he always has some sort of firearm handy and he is out for revenge and he always wears a skull. Not like the Danzig skull, but it is still a skull.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Mitch (Business Development Specialist)</strong> &#8211; The Green Lantern <em>“He has been my favorite as far back as I can remember, mainly cause my favorite color is green and I always though the ring rocked.  I really only like Hal Jordan though, none of the other Green Lanterns.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Tori (CSR)</strong> – Buffy the Vampire Slayer <em>“Why? She understands that not all monsters are bad guys, and she saves the world, a lot.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Natalie (CSR)</strong> – Wonder Woman <em>“because her mission is to bring love peace and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men. Plus, she can fly and has a lasso of truth.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Chris (CSR)</strong> -  Roland of Gilead <em>“He is cold, he is logical, he is broken, and he is just as scary as the antagonist.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Jay (Abuse/DMCA Department)</strong> – The Phantom <em>“I have always had a thing for purple lycra and a mask.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Mike (Account Executive)</strong> – Spiderman <em>“1st because he&#8217;s just as many problems as regular people and he continues to try and live his life as responsibly as he can and use his powers to help and protect others. 2nd Hero would be Iron Man simply because he&#8217;s a tough guy he employs justice through sheer firepower and strength.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Annie (CSR)</strong> – The Terminator <em>“The Terminator is my hero, He would reshape the future by changing the past.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Mike S (CSR)</strong> – Superman <em>“Superman is my hero because he can do something that no one can do, wearing underpants outside. He has brave heart!!!!”</em></p>
<p><strong>Katie (CSR)</strong> WALL-E <em>“He is a little boy with little heart but he has a big job to handle and he is innocent.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Kris (CSR) </strong>Iron Man <em>“Because he is a technology super hero.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Ben M (CSR) </strong>Spiderman<strong> </strong><em>“the ultimate web-master”</em></p>
<p><strong>Matthew (CSR Supervisor)</strong> Ghost Rider – <em>“His Costume and the flames.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Daniel (Lunarpages Trainer)</strong> Wolverine &#8211; <em>&#8220;I&#8217;d have to go with Wolverine, he knows how to slice and dice and you can&#8217;t beat indestructible.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>Louie (National Sales Manager</strong><strong>) </strong>Thor, God of Thunder<em> &#8211; &#8220;I&#8217;ve appreciated Greek and Norse mythology or legends from my earliest influences by the circa 1950&#8217;s Black &amp; White Hercules movies Starring Steve Reeves. In reference to Thor, he is one of my favorite extraordinary figures since the character represents my affection for ancient warrior epics like the 300, the story of Beowulf and even the battles fought to secure Middle Earth in Tolkien’s Trilogy.&#8221;<br />
</em></p>
<p align="center"><em>Now it is Your Turn! Who is your favorite?!</em></p>
<p>As you can see, we got heroes from every corner of the comic book world listed here.  Have a favorite that didn’t make it onto the list?  Join in on the fun!  Who is your favorite super hero and why?</p>
