How to Upload Your Website in 6 Easy Steps

This article will help you understand how to upload your website in just a few steps.

Follow the guide:

1. Prepare Your Website Files
   Before uploading, ensure:
   1. Your website is fully developed and tested.
   2. All files are organized in a single folder.
   3. Commonly included files: HTML, CSS, JS, images, and other assets.
2. Choose a Web Hosting Provider
   To get started, you’ll need a reliable hosting service:
   1. Select a hosting plan that suits your requirements (e.g., shared, VPS, or dedicated server hosting).
   2. Register a domain name if you haven’t already.
   3. Set up your hosting account via the provider’s dashboard.
3. Access Your Hosting Control Panel
   Once your hosting is ready:
   1. Log in to your hosting control panel (commonly cPanel or Plesk).
   2. Locate the File Manager or the FTP settings to proceed.
4. Upload Files via File Manager
   Using the File Manager:
   1. Navigate to the public_html or www directory—your website’s root folder.
   2. Upload your files directly from your computer.
   3. For faster uploading, compress your files into a .zip file and extract them within the hosting panel.
5. Use FTP for Large Files
   For bulk uploads or large files, FTP is your best option:
   1. Install an FTP client like FileZilla or Cyberduck.
   2. Configure the FTP client with credentials provided by your hosting provider (hostname, username, password, and port).
   3. Connect to the server and transfer your files to the root directory.
6. Test Your Website
   Finally, make sure everything works perfectly:
   1. Visit your domain to verify your site is live.
   2. Fix any errors, such as broken links or missing images.
   3. Clear your browser cache to see the most recent changes.
