Uploading your website to UnderHost.com is straightforward. Follow the steps below to get your site online quickly.
Step 1: Prepare Your Website Files
Ensure your website files are ready for upload. Your main website files (e.g., index.html, style.css, etc.) should be in a folder and properly organized. Compress large files or folders to save time during upload.
Step 2: Access Your cPanel

Step 3: Upload Files via cPanel File Manager
- Open File Manager: In cPanel, go to File Manager under the Files section.
- Navigate to public_html: Double-click the
public_htmlfolder. This is your website’s root directory where all website files should be uploaded. - Upload Files: Click on the Upload button at the top. Select your website files or compressed folder (e.g., ZIP file) from your computer and upload them.
- Extract Files (If Needed): If you uploaded a ZIP file, right-click on it in File Manager and select Extract to unzip your files.
Step 4: Upload Files via FTP (Optional)
