Mchl Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 You should ask your hosting company about this. Usually you should be given username and password for FTP access.

Mchl Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hosting company is a company where you upload your files, so that your website is available in the web. Other option is to have your own server, but I doubt you want that. What did you buy exactly?

TheFilmGod Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Haha. It might seem like a noob question, but we have all been your shoes before. Godaddy.com will do the trick. I wouldn't recommend using their service once you want to put up the echelons to virtual dedicated or dedicated, but for now it shoudl suffice. Buy one of the shared hosting plans. They have an online ftp program you could use, or you could use filezilla. The reason I'm recommending godaddy.com is because they have a plethora of resources for new users. I had support walk over naming filenames to me. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/181504-uploading-a-website/#findComment-957748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
