Very shortly, you’ll receive several emails from LunarPages, including an order confirmation, billing receipt, and critical account information. The Critical Account Information email is vital - be sure to save it for your records! Here’s the truly critical information:

Username and Password
You’ll need this to access your Control Panel (or cPanelX), which is where you control a lot of your website’s features and access statistics. To log in to your cPanel, log in on LunarPages.com. Once you log in, there will be a graphic labeled ‘Control Panel’.

Click on it, and in the window that opens below, click the button ‘go to cPanel’. That will bring you to your main cPanel page - you can bookmark the cPanel page for future use.

Also in your email, you’ll find your FTP information. This gets a little buried, it’s about 2/3 down. Make a note of the FTP Host Address.

Finally, towards the end there’s a paragraph on domain name instructions. If you registered your domain through LunarPages when you signed up, you can ignore it - everything’s automatically done to register your domain name!

Be sure to look the email over thoroughly - LunarPages offers many informative tutorials, and you can find links in those emails.

Congratulations, you now have everything you need to get your website online!
