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.

:::info
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.
