How do I put my website on the server?

The creation of your web pages is completed on your computer. Then, you must put those files you have created on the server where you have chosen to have your site hosted. The first step in doing this is to build your site, and then set up a user name and password for your site with a hosting provider.

The files are transferred to the server of the hosting company by use of ftp. This is the fastest and safest way for all of your files to be transferred. This is a direct link to the server where other people will view and access your web pages.

To set the ftp link up you need to find out the name of the ftp host, this information will be provided to you by your hosting company. You will have a user name and a password so that we you access the link, you can upload your pages. The use of a user name and password is important so that no one else can access, change or delete your web pages.

Many programs, such as web builders, that are loaded onto your computer from a disk will allow you to input this information and save it so you don’t have to enter your username and password each time you want to publish your website.
