Ways to Upload a Site

  • Use FTP or SFTP if your workflow supports it
  • Upload a compressed archive and extract it inside File Manager

Before You Upload

  • Confirm the hosting account is active
  • Confirm the domain is pointed correctly
  • Make sure you know which folder the website should use

After Uploading

  • Visit the domain and test the website
  • Check that images, stylesheets, and links load correctly
  • Make sure any database driven application is connected properly
