Publish a website via cpanel
Although cPanel wasn’t designed with website building in mind, some of its tools simplify the process immensely. The File Manager you’ll find in the backend lets you easily create, edit, and upload webpages on the spot – perfect for anyone building a website on a cPanel hosting server from scratch.
How to create a website via the cPanel File Manager?
1. Log into cPanel and open File Manager
You should be able to access your cPanel through one of the URLs below:
https://[your domain]/cpanel
After you log in, you will see the File Manager under the Files section oe simply search for file manager.
2. Open the public_html folder
When you access cPanel’s File Manager, you’ll see all the files and directories hosted on your account. The folder you’re interested in at the moment is public_html – the document root directory that contains your website files.
3. Add files to the document root folder
This is where you need to upload your website files. If you have them sitting on your computer, you can use the Upload button to transfer them to the public_html folder.
You can also create webpages on the spot. It’s as easy as assigning a name and an extension (e.g., index.html or index.php) for your homepage.
4. Edit existing files
After you’ve created your first webpage, you will be able to see it in the public_html folder.
Right-click on the folder and select Edit to open the built-in text editor and start adding code to your new webpage.
After you save the changes, they will be applied to the server immediately, and you will be able to see them after loading your page in a browser.
