Step By Step Guide Of Setting Up Your Wordpress Blog On LunarPages Part 1
Sire on Jun-8-2008 under TutorialI have a blogging friend who has taken the wise step of hosting her own blog and has chosen Lunarpages to be her host. Unfortunately like many first timers she has found the myriad of instructions all too confusing. I am hoping that these instructions help her and others to achieve their goals of becoming self hosted bloggers.
The first thing you need is an FTP client to upload the Wordpress files to your new domain and I recommend FileZilla. Once you have unzipped the file, we are ready to configure it.
Open Filezilla and Click File (top left hand corner of page), and then Site Manger. Now Click on ‘New Site’ and it will have opened up a set of tabs, the current one being the ‘General Tab’.
Hostname: Enter yourdomain.com If your domain is myblogrocks.com then that is what you would enter. Leave Port blank.
In Server Type choose FTP File Transfer Protocal which should be default.
Logon Type is normal
Username: Enter your cpanel username here.
Password: Enter your cpanel password here.
Now click on the ‘Transfer Settings’ tab and in transfer mode select active.
That should be it, now click connect, and if all is OK you should have logged into your account. It should like something like this image
if it does we are ready for step 2.

very nice! sounds so straight forward and I have not done these steps yet, but sounds like easy enough to do….
Thank you!!
how do I add my second site?
If the second site is a subdomain, ie part of the main domain it should have access to that as well.
