How to upload your website files Print

Once your website files are ready, you place them in the public_html folder of your hosting.

Using File Manager (easiest, no software needed):

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. Open File Manager.
3. Go into the public_html folder.
4. Click Upload, then select your files. If your site is a zip file, upload it, then right-click it and choose Extract.

Your home page file should be named index.html or index.php so it loads when visitors reach your domain.

Using FTP (better for large sites):

Create an FTP account under cPanel > FTP Accounts, then connect with software like FileZilla
