Do you have a website? If you don’t, you should get one. To get it up and running you need two things: a domain name and hosting. Having a domain name is fairly simple; if you’ve got ideas (or selfies) to share on the interwebs, then you need to register some domains and post your content there.
Upload Website Using Cpanel
You can upload your website using Cpanel. Cpanel is the most popular web hosting software in the world. To upload your website using Cpanel, you will need to have your domain name registered and web hosting account with a hosting company.
You can upload your website using cpanel by simply opening your web browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome) and logging into your hosting account (cPanel). Once you are logged into your hosting account, you should see a bunch of different options and links on the top left side of your screen. Click on Filesystems under File Management section.
Next click on Web Directories link under Directories section. This will bring up a list of all the directories that you can use to host websites on your web server. Click on New Directory button at the bottom of this page to add a new directory for storing files related to your website. Now it is time to give this directory a name so that it would be easy for you to identify it later on when needed. You can also give this directory an extension such as .html or .php which will tell us about the type of files that are allowed in it by default.
Steps to Upload Website Using Cpanel
1. Login to your cPanel account. You can find this in your email or on the dashboard of your hosting account.
2. Click on the File Manager icon on the top left corner of the page.
3. Click on Add New Domain. You will be redirected to a new page where you need to enter all the information about your new website such as its name, URL, etc. Make sure you add them correctly because any mistake will lead to an error later on when you try to upload your files.
4. Once everything is entered correctly and looks good, click on Check Domain button at the bottom of the page (see image). This will check if all the required fields are filled correctly and also make sure that there are no errors in them before proceeding further with uploading your files through FTP client (more about this later).
5. If there are no errors now then it means that everything is good and ready for further steps starting from step 6 onwards below which will guide you through how to upload files using FileZilla client which is one of the most popular FTP clients used by webmasters around the world today.
