How do I publish or create my website?


While this question has so many aspects to cover, we will try to break it down to a few simple options which you can go through.

Please Refer to Our Video Tutorials for more informtion on this Article, found herehttps://tutorials.sive.host/

I already have a website in my PC, how do I upload them so that it can be accessed from https://www.your-active-domain.co.za or https://www.your-registered-domain.co.za?

1. We highly recommend you to upload your files using FTP client. It would be the fastest and easiest way to upload the files which you already have available in your computer. You can get a free FTP client software from FileZilla which can be downloaded from https://filezilla-project.org/


2. Whether you upload your files using FileZilla, other FTP software, or any other site publishing system such as Macromedia or Adobe Dreamweaver which uses FTP as the file transfer protocol, you would need to know these basics:

  1. When connecting, use the IP Address you see in your New Account Information email as the host
  2. Use the supplied username and password within your New Account Information email as the username and password
  3. The last thing is very important: always publish or upload your files INTO /public_html folder or /www folder. They are both the same thing. Make sure you DO NOT upload the files into your root folder or / because in order for your website to be accessible through https://www.your-active-domain.co.za or https://www.your-registered-domain.co.za , the files must reside within the public_html folder.
