How do I upload my website files?

Step-by-step guide to uploading files via cPanel File Manager or FTP.

Uploading Your Website Files

### Method 1 — cPanel File Manager (Easiest)

1. Log in to your **cPanel** (your domain /cpanel or the URL we provided).

2. Open **File Manager**.

3. Navigate to **public_html** — this is your website's root folder.

4. Click **Upload** in the toolbar.

5. Select your files and upload them.

> ℹ️ If you're uploading a zip file, use **Extract** after uploading.

### Method 2 — FTP/SFTP Client (FileZilla)

1. Download [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/) (free).

2. Open FileZilla → **File → Site Manager → New Site**.

3. Enter your FTP credentials (sent to you by email when your hosting was activated):

- **Host**: ftp.yourdomain.com

- **Username**: your cPanel username

- **Password**: your cPanel password

- **Port**: 21 (FTP) or 22 (SFTP)

4. Click **Connect**.

5. Drag your files from the left panel (your computer) to **public_html** on the right.

### What folder should I upload to?

  • **public_html** — Main website (yourdomain.com)
  • **public_html/subdomain** — For a subdomain or subdirectory
