Your website’s files go in the public_html folder. Anything in it is visible at yourdomain.com.au.
With File Manager
- In cPanel, open File Manager and go into
public_html. - Click Upload and choose your files. For a whole site, upload a .zip file.
- If you uploaded a .zip, right-click it and choose Extract, then delete the .zip.
With FTP
Create an FTP account in cPanel under FTP Accounts, then connect with a program such as FileZilla:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Host | yourdomain.com.au (or the server address in your welcome email) |
| Protocol | FTP with explicit TLS (FTPS) |
| Port | 21 |
| Username / password | The FTP account you created |
Make sure your home page is called index.html or index.php, or visitors will see a list of files instead.
