How do I upload my own website?




All files and folders should be uploaded to the public_html directory on the file server.

The public_html folder can be accessed in two ways:

  1. You can easily access your files from anywhere using cPanel.
    Log in at www.YOURDOMAIN.com/cpanel, then click 'File Manager' under 'Site Management'.

  2. Our preferred way is direct FTP, such as FileZilla.

To access your hosting account via FTP connect to www.YOURDOMAIN.com.

Be sure to create an index file for your home page, this can be index.htm, index.html, index.php, etc.

Please note our Linux servers are case sensitive so index.htm and Index.htm are two separate files. Index.htm will not be recognized as the default first page. It must be index.htm (.html, .php, etc.)
