How do
I FTP my web site onto the server?
Your domain name
is your host address. If your domain has not yet been changed to
the new name servers,
you can use the web server IP address as host
address: refer to your order confirmation email.
What is my Host Directory? The host directory
is: public_html
What is a User ID, or FTP User Name? These are other
names for your login, or username.
Where should I put my files?
The files go in the public_html directory.
Can I change my login
or password? You can change your password, but not your login. A
new password can be generated in your control panel.
How
do I upload via my web hosting control panel?
Go into your web hosting control panel:
http://yourdomainname/cpanel
(replace 'yourdomainname' with your actual domain name).
Go to
the 'Legacy File Manager' icon, selecting 'web root' from the
pop up box, (this takes you straight into
the public_html folder)
Use the 'Upload Files' link at the
top.
All files you want viewable on the internet must be placed in
the public_html folder, and the home page has to be named
index.html or index.php
(.ASP files are not supported.)
Dont have an FTP
client?
There are many free ftp clients on the internet,
but a good one is Filezilla, easy to use and free to download
from:
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Once installed on your PC open the program.
use the 'quick connect' fields at the top. the host will be your
domain name, your hosting username and password, and port: 21
double click the public_html folder icon in the box on the
right.
select all the files to be uploaded in the box on the left,
right click and upload.
