Thank you for choosing our web hosting service!
Below we will explain how to upload your website and put it online. You can do this by following these simple steps:
Access the cPanel control panel: Log in to your control panel using your username and password.
If you need to know how to access the control panel, follow the steps in this guide: https://github.com/sitioshispanos/gitbook-helpdesk-en/blob/master/guias/paneles-de-control/panel-de-control-cpanel/access-to-cpanel.md
Upload the files of your website to the server: By default, the directory where you should upload the files of your website is public_html. Keep in mind that this directory may vary at your discretion, for example, if you create a subdomain. To upload the files to the server, you can use the File Manager tool in your control panel. Simply select the files from your computer and upload them to the public_html directory.
If you need more information on using the File Manager in cPanel, follow this guide: https://github.com/sitioshispanos/gitbook-helpdesk-en/blob/master/guias/paneles-de-control/panel-de-control-cpanel/file-manager/how-to-access-file-manager-in-cpanel.md
Alternatively, if you prefer to use FTP to upload your files, you can do so as well. Simply configure your preferred FTP client (such as FileZilla) with the access data to your control panel (domain, username, and password). Then upload your files to the public_html directory.
If you need more information on FTP access, follow the steps in this guide: https://github.com/sitioshispanos/gitbook-helpdesk-en/blob/master/guias/paneles-de-control/panel-de-control-cpanel/ftp-connections/ftp-sessions-in-cpanel.md
Delegate the DNS on your domain: It is crucial that your DNS are correctly configured for your website to be visible in browsers. In the email you received when your hosting plan was activated, you will find the DNS that you need to delegate. This step should be done at the provider where you registered your domain, for example, GoDaddy, Nic.ar, etc. If you registered your domain with us, the DNS will be configured automatically.
If you registered your domain with Nic.ar and need to know how to delegate the DNS, follow the steps in this guide: https://github.com/sitioshispanos/gitbook-helpdesk-en/blob/master/guias/domains/how-to-modify-dns-in-nic.ar.md
There will be occasions where you need to test your website before delegating the DNS to the domain. Follow these steps to temporarily view your website without delegated domain: https://github.com/sitioshispanos/gitbook-helpdesk-en/blob/master/guias/web-hosting/solutions-to-hosting-issues/how-to-view-my-website-without-domain.md
