How to Upload your Website to your Web Host Account

Once you build your website, you will need to get it to your web host's server. This process is called "uploading" your files. Some places call it "publishing your website." Either way it's the same process.

If you are using the build a website software from your web host, all of your website files will already be on your web host's servers so all you will need to do is click a button. The button is usually Publish or Submit.

If you are using Microsoft's Expressions Web or another stand alone website builder, you will usually just need to log in to your web hosting account and click the upload files button. Some web hosts call this FTP, others just say Upload Files. It all depends on your web host what it's called but they both are the same thing.
