Option 1: File Manager (in the browser)

  1. Log in to cPanel and open File Manager.
  2. Open the public_html folder. This is your main domain's website folder.
  3. Click Upload and choose your files. To upload a whole site, upload a .zip file, then right-click it and choose Extract.

Option 2: FTP (FileZilla or similar)

  • Host: eu-1.eltahost.com (always use this name: it matches the server's security certificate, so you get no certificate warning)
  • Username / password: your cPanel login, or an FTP account you create under cPanel → FTP Accounts
  • Port: 21, encryption: Require explicit FTP over TLS

Your homepage must be named index.html or index.php and must be directly inside public_html.
