Where do I upload my website?

Upload your website files to the public_html folder on the server to make them visible on your domain.

Once you have connected to your hosting account via FTP, you need to upload your website files to the correct folder so they appear on your domain.

Where to upload your files

Upload your website to the public_html folder on the server. Any files you place inside this folder will be publicly accessible at your domain name.

If you are uploading files for an addon domain or subdomain, each one has its own subfolder inside public_html.

Naming your home page

Name your home page index.html or index.php. The server loads a file called index as the default page when someone visits your domain, so if this file is missing, visitors may see a directory listing or an error instead.
