As a professional and open-source e-commerce solution, Magento is offering your online store access to unprecedented flexibility and control. You can also get it up and running here with Lunarpages, if you are using one of our new LPCP controlled accounts.
What Makes Magento So Great?
Where Magento really shines is it’s modular architecture. It really puts the control of the online business back in the hands of the shop owner. Any online merchant out there today would be silly to second guess this terrific script’s abilities of getting the job done. Many people who have grown tired of other shopping carts systems have migrated towards Magento because of functionality and delivery, which are two areas where Magento outshines the competition.

Over the past year or so, a lot of people have enjoyed the write-up on how to create your own .htaccess file from within cPanel, so I figured I would give the same sage words of advice for everybody out there using the LPCP control panel.
To create a .htaccess file in LPCP, log into the LPCP, and then go to your File Manager. Click on the text link labeled, ” public_html” to navigate yourself inside the public_html folder.
Now, in the empty text box to your upper-right type in .htaccess, make sure the drop down box is set to “File” and then hit the button labeled, “Create”.
Your .htaccess file will be created in your public_html folder on your LPCP powered account.
For more LPCP help, tips, tutorials and more, be sure to check out the web hosting wiki. Over 340 guides have been published there to help you get more out of your web hosting account at Lunarpages.

Lunarpages is not only a leader in the shared and VPS hosting world, they are also a juggernaut when it comes to dedicated hosting servers too. The newest member to the dedicated hosting plan family is the new i7 Dedicated hosting plan. What is so special? I am going to give you seven reasons you will love the new Intel Core i7 hosting from Lunarpages.
- The Intel® Core™ i7 2.66ghz CPU is the most recent technology from Intel® providing faster, intelligent, multi-core technology that applies processing power where it’s needed most.
- Also included are 3GB of DDR3 RAM, the best memory you could ever want or need in a dedicated hosting server.
- With 2000 GB of bandwidth, you are ready for any Internet traffic storm that might come your way.
- 250 GB of storage is included, with room to grow if needed. You’ll never have to worry about disk space again.
- Coming in at only $245 per month, I’m not sure if this would fall under the deal or the steal category.
- As with our other dedicated hosting plan, 2 GB are included and dedicated to backup storage.
- With 2 IP addresses, SSH, MySQL Databases, E-Commerce Tools, and more, what is not to love with this dedicated hosting offer?
Every dedicated hosting plan from Lunarpages also comes with the unparalleled security, control and management options you need. If you are looking to upgrade to a dedicated hosting plan – or get your first, there is no better dedicated hosting platform out there today.
