cpanel


Question Posted Wednesday July 16 2008, 4:45 pm

Ok, i got a domain and an account using cpanel because i wanted to set up a website. I know some html, enough i thought to get me started. But i have NO idea how to use the actual cpanel thing. I don't even know where to begin. There's so many things and I don't really understand. I tried looking it up but apparently nothing is "dumbed down" enough for me to understand it. Does anyone know how to use cpanel and can you tell me how to get started???

Go to the section called "file manager" or "web FTP". A directory layout will be displayed. Enter the folder called "public" or "put html files here" or "htmlfiles" or "ht-something" (not .htaccess). If there is no such folder, then don't worry about it.

Then simply upload your HTML files. If your domain is example.com, and you upload a file called example.html, the new file will be at example.com/example.html. If you create a new folder called test and upload example.html, the new file will be at example.com/test/example.html.

That's all you need to know. You don't need to know about the other cpanel functions. Cpanel helps administrate your site only. It does not help you write web pages at all.

If you have trouble, contact the support for your hosting. They answer these questions all the time.
