# How do I upload my website files?

Once your hosting package is active, you can upload your website files using either the built-in file manager or an FTP client like FileZilla.

**Option 1: Upload via File Manager**

1. Log in to your hosting control panel (DirectAdmin or cPanel).
2. Navigate to **File Manager**.
3. Open the folder named `public_html` (this is your website’s root folder).
4. Use the **Upload** button to select and upload your files.

**Option 2: Upload via FTP (recommended for larger sites)**

1. Download and install an FTP client (e.g. FileZilla).
2. Connect with the following details:
   - **Host:** yourdomain.com (or server IP)
   - **Username:** your FTP/hosting username
   - **Password:** your hosting password
   - **Port:** 21
3. After connecting, navigate to the `public_html` folder.
4. Drag and drop your website files from your computer into this folder.

**Important Notes**

- The **main page** of your site should be named `index.html` or `index.php`.
- Make sure to upload your files to `public_html`, otherwise your site will remain blank.
- If you overwrite existing files, your website will change immediately.
