Uploading through Windows Explorer (FTP)
Uploading your website through FTP is really easy to do.  By simply copying and pasting your file from your computer, it allows you to upload your website data.  For instructions on how to do this, please perform the following steps:

FTP Files

Before you upload, please make sure the home page of your website is called index.htm or index.html, otherwise your website will not show up.  Also, files that have a .html extension take precedence over .htm files.  For example, "index.html" takes precedence over "index.htm".
