Ready site, hosting, domain (if necessary)
Instructions
Step 1
As a rule, webmasters use hosting services. Hosting is a service for providing physical space on a web server. Modern hosting opens up opportunities not only for hosting some files and web pages, but also for full-fledged scripts and databases. Hostings can be paid and free; the package of services provided by the data center depends on it. Paid ones have a wider range of services and additional services that help to implement certain functionality of the site, or simplify the work with the hosting itself. To choose a quality hosting, you should use the reviews of different users that can be found on the Internet. You should also take into account the configuration of the servers on which it is located, and the package of services provided by the hosting provider. This is all very important for the successful placement of a website on the Internet; the absence of certain functions can affect the functionality and operation of the site.
Step 2
After the hosting has been purchased and all the settings have been made, you can proceed directly to the download. For this, special FTP-managers are used that upload to the server. You can use Cute FTP, or Total Commander. Before downloading files, you should configure the connection through the program window. The standard fields are Server Name, Port, Username, Password. This data is provided by the hosting provider after registration and payment for hosting.
Step 3
Then you can connect to the server and download the necessary files. The site folder where the download should be made is usually named "www" or "htdocs". After that, the loaded site will be available at the selected address (domain), tied to the server independently or by a hosting provider.
