To get your website online, you’ll need to upload your files to your hosting account. You can do this in two ways:

  1. Using the File Manager in your hosting control panel.
  2. Using an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla).

Option 1: Uploading Files with File Manager

Step 1: Log into Your Control Panel

Step 2: Open File Manager

  • In cPanel, click File Manager.
  • In DirectAdmin, go to System Info & Files → File Manager.

Step 3: Upload Your Files

  • Navigate to the folder public_html (this is your website's root folder)
  • Click Upload and select your website files.
  • Once uploaded, your site should be visible at https://yourdomain.com.

Option 2: Uploading Files via FTP

Step 1: Install an FTP Client

Step 2: Connect to Your Hosting

  • Open FileZilla and enter the following:
    • Host: stylo.simplisticnode.com (if cPanel) or da01.unifiedns.io (if DirectAdmin)
    • Username: your FTP/cPanel/DirectAdmin username
    • Password: your password (from your welcome email or client area)
    • Port: 21
  • Click Quick Connect

Step 3: Upload Your Files

  • On the left, you’ll see your computer files.
  • On the right, you’ll see your hosting files.
  • Navigate to the public_html folder on the right.
  • Drag and drop your website files into this folder.

Troubleshooting

  • Files uploaded but site not showing? → Make sure your files are inside public_html and not in a subfolder.
  • FTP login not working? → Check you’re using the correct username/password from your welcome email.
  • Still not working? → Clear your browser cache or wait up to 24 hours if DNS was just updated.
