Introduction to Web Hosting

(i) Getting Files to your site

For your visitors to be able to visit your site, you will need to add some files to it. Files are added through the File Manager and the Web Disk  facilities. When you click the File Manager icon in your cPanel, the file Manager opens in a new window. You can upload all the files you want onto your public_html folder.

(ii) The File Manager

The File Manager allows you to view all the files on your site as well as to upload new files and modify existing files. Files can be renamed, deleted or changed.

If you need to move a lot of files at any given time, or when there is need to make hanges to a website, it is easier to set up a web disk to easily access the site. A web disk allows you to add a link to your home computer's desktop that goes to your web site's files. As a result you can view the files on your site just like you would  view the files on your home computer. The next step will allow us to create and set up the web disk.
