Deploying Your First Website
1. Choose a Hosting Plan
Visit Pricing and select the plan that fits your needs. For most personal and small business sites, the Starter plan is perfect.
2. Register or Connect a Domain
You can either:
- Register a new domain during checkout
- Use an existing domain by updating its nameservers to the ones provided in your welcome email
3. Access Your Control Panel
After purchase, go to Services in your dashboard and click on your hosting plan. You'll find:
- File Manager for uploading files
- Database management (MySQL)
- Email account setup
- SSL certificate installation
4. Upload Your Files
Use the File Manager or connect via FTP/SFTP with the credentials in your welcome email. Upload your files to the public_html directory.
5. Go Live
Once your domain's DNS has propagated (usually 1-24 hours), your site will be live. You can check propagation status at your dashboard.
