What Websites are Hosted on this IP? This is one of the best reverse ip tools I have ever seen. Most reverse ip tools do not show you nearly all the sites hosted on a server and sometimes there users are even charged for a premium service to use the full tool. At first, I thought it was capable of actually displaying all domains hosted on a server. However, it doesn’t because I checked one of my servers and it got only 3 out of 7 domains on ip address. But, in other cases it seems to list a long list of domains hosted on a server. Over at digg.com, users are having fun poking around on government and scientology sites to see what domains are hosted. Using the You Get Signal “Reverse IP Domain Check,” you can see all of the other sites hosted on the same web server as a particular domain name. Try it.

By Mitch “Mr. Google” Keeler I highly encourage all the webmasters that I know to create a Google Sitemap for their web site. This way you can submit it to Google and they have a fool proof way of checking your web site content.

What is a Payment Gateway and Why Should I Get One?

by Tiara Rea Ecommerce web hosting requires a great deal of patience, but it also requires a great deal of consideration. You’re going to need (check!), a shopping cart system (check!), and a payment gateway. So what is a payment gateway? It sounds very technical but it’s more or less just a service that acts as the middleman between the payments your customers submit online and the actual funds you receive. A payment gateway processes and facilitates all the financial transactions made, allowing you to accept credit cards, checks, echecks, PayPal, and nearly every form of payment known to man. Examples of some payment gateways are Authorize.net and PayPal. There are several features you should compare when choosing a payment gateway for your plan, including the costs involved, fraud prevention tools, recurring billing options, and alternative payment options. With the price, many gateways charge an upfront setup fee as well as a per transaction fee, so ask for discounts or, if you’re with Lunarpages, we have a good deal with Authorize.net if you login to your account panel. ;) And as far as the other options go, making a checklist is often the best option to compare the tools and services they offer, as all payment gateways are different. So once you’ve found a payment gateway you’re comfortable working with, you’ll need to purchase a Dedicated IP and SSL Certificate. These two things combine to secure the transactions and encrypt the sensitive payment data. Most payment gateways will not allow you to take credit card information without these two features. However, if you’re using PayPal or a similar service, you won’t need the IP and SSL cert, as all transactions already take place on PayPal’s secured, encrypted website. This is why many first-time ecommerce webmasters choose to go with PayPal to start and will work their way up to taking the payments themselves. So good luck in your search for your payment gateway! Whatever you choose, Lunarpages can help you make that site a success.

By Mitch “The Painter” Keeler I guess you could have a web site without graphics, but it would be rather dull. If your in the search for a free image editor - search no longer. The best image editor out there right now for free is .

Paint.NET is totally free and provided to you as open source software. Paint.NET Pro: Awesome image tool, hard to believe this is all free! Paint.NET Con: Might take a little while to get used to using the product. | I would say this free download is as good as Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, the Gimp and beating Microsoft Paint with an image editing stick.
