Uploading Your Website with FTP/SFTP

Connect with FTP/SFTP

You can upload files using any FTP client such as FileZilla, WinSCP, or Cyberduck.

Connection details:

• Host: your domain name (or 109.199.103.100)
• Username: your hosting account username (from your welcome email)
• Password: your account password
• Port: 21 for FTP, or 22 for SFTP (recommended - it is encrypted)

Where to upload

Upload your website files into the public_html folder. Anything placed there is served on your domain.

Tips

• Use SFTP (port 22) whenever possible - it encrypts your login and files.
• If the connection is refused, double-check the username and that your firewall allows the port.
• For large sites, compress to a .zip, upload it, then extract it from the File Manager in your control panel.
