Uploading your website

You can upload your website files in two ways:

Option 1: File Manager (easiest, no extra software)

1. Log in to cPanel
2. Open File Manager
3. Navigate to public_html
4. Click Upload and select your files
5. If you uploaded a .zip file, right-click it and select Extract

Option 2: FTP

1. Use an FTP client such as FileZilla
2. Host: ftp.yourdomain.com
3. Username/Password: your cPanel login details
4. Port: 21
5. Upload files into the public_html folder

Your homepage file should be named index.html or index.php and placed directly inside public_html (not in a subfolder), otherwise visitors won't see it automatically.

Checking your disk space and bandwidth usage

In cPanel, scroll to the Statistics panel on the left-hand sidebar, or open the Disk Usage tool for a breakdown by folder.
