Find out how to upload a website to the internet with five simple methods!
📌 Getting a Hosting Plan and Domain Name
Choose a reliable hosting provider to host your website. All Hostinger’s hosting plans include an SSL certificate to improve site security and SEO rankings, and most of them come with a free domain name.
📌 Setting Up and Uploading the Site via hPanel
The intuitive setup wizard will guide you through the basic website setup, including uploading its files using our migration tool.
📌 Other Methods to Upload Your Site
Other than Hostinger’s built-in site upload wizard, there are other uploading methods you can use:
👉 Upload via File Manager
Access the File Manager from your hosting account’s control panel, then upload your .zip file to the public_html directory. Note that File Manager has an upload limit of 256 MB.
👉 Upload via FTP
Uploading site files via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is suitable for those whose site file size is larger than 256 MB. To use this method, you have to install an FTP client first.
👉 Upload via WordPress Migration Plugin
If you use WordPress, a migration plugin is the easiest way to upload your site to the internet. Just install and activate the plugin, then follow its instructions.
👉 Upload via Importing Your Site
If you’re a Hostinger user and skipped the site upload option during onboarding, you can use the Import Website feature. This tool also has an upload limit of 256 MB.
📌 Ensure the Files Are in the Main Directory
Check whether your website files are located in the main root directory of your domain. If not, move them to the correct location. Also, don’t forget to import your database if your website uses it.
📌 Check the Live Site
Make sure your website works by accessing it online or using tools like whatsmydns.net.
And that’s all! Now you know how to upload a website to the internet.

Access its file manager open the public HTML directory this is where we will Upload our website files there might be Some sample files in this directory so Let's get rid of them first we need to Select all the files and click delete Good now we can upload the website files Click the upload icon and choose file Select your website file mine is this ZIP one and click open the processing Icon here shows us that uploading is in Progress once the process is completed The file will be listed in the directory Now right click on the file you just Uploaded and extract it by selecting an Archive set the destination as the Public HTML folder you can see the Current location here fill the choose Folder name field with a DOT as we want To extract the compressed file right in This folder click on archive the file Manager also has an upload limit of 256 Megabytes if your website file is larger Than that try one of the next uploading Methods Most web hosting providers support the File transfer protocol or FTP enabling You to connect to an FTP client and Upload their website files to the Internet the main benefit of this method Is there are no upload size limit it Does require some technical knowledge But don't worry I'll show you how to do It first you will need to connect your
Side to an FTP client I'm going to use Filezilla for this tutorial once it is Installed we'll connect to our Hosting Account so let's get back to the Hosting Account control panel to get the FTP Details if you use hostinger go to each Panel and then on the files menu choose FTP accounts there you will see your FTP Hostname username and Port if you don't Know your FTP password reset it by Clicking change account password next we Need to add our site to the filed Zilla Site manager back on filezilla open the File menu and select site manager once The site manager window pops up click The new side button and fill in the Fields on the general tab the protocol Field identifies how we will exchange Files over any network select FTP file Transfer protocol for host enter your Domainname.com default Port is 21 but This field is not mandatory at this Stage so it's okay to skip it now moving On to encryption most providers Recommend selecting only use plain FTP Because the other options require Certificate Advocates and additional Configuration but if you use hostinger You can choose the more secure option Which is use explicit FTP over TLS if Available after that log on type it Specifies how you will connect to the Site via the FTP client let's choose Normal
Then fill in the user and password Fields with the FTP username and Password from your controls panel's FTP Page okay so now that we have filled in All the required information let's click Connect since we set the encryption as User explicit FTP over TLS if available You will see this TLS certificate Inspection screen you can think the Always trust certificate in the future Sessions checkbox so that you don't have To perform this action each time you Connect to filezilla then click ok to Proceed you will see that the FTP client Is connecting to your site when it's Successfully connected it will show the Directory listing of your FTP server the Panel on the left shows your local site And on the right is your remote site Also known as live site awesome now that We set up the FTP client we can upload The site files in the remote site panel Open the public HTML folder Then head to your local site panel and Locate your website files this time we Need unzipped ones because filezilla Doesn't have an extraction feature so Select the files right click choose Upload and these files will be uploaded To the public HTML directory it will Display a completion message once the Files are successfully transferred to Your remote site If you used WordPress as your content
Management system this method is for you One of the easiest ways to upload your Website to the internet is using a WordPress migration plugin generally What you need to do is install activate Then follow the plugin instructions but Most of the free WordPress migration Plugins can only import files created by Their own Backup Tool for example the Frame version of the all-in-one WP Migration plugin only supports that wpus Files which is the backup file created By the plugin itself to upload different File formats you will need to purchase The plugins premium version depending on Your hosting provider there might also Be an upload size limit but no need to Worry as there are some ways to increase Upload file size Now you know how to upload the website To the internet using different methods But before you can sit back relax and Let the world enjoy your work there are Two tasks you need to do first you have To ensure that your files are located in The main rule directory of your domain That means they should be in the public HTML folder it's important to check it Because in some cases the tool you used May have created an additional directory When you uploaded the website files if That happens your visitors will be Directed to the a sub directory instead Of your main domain simply use the file
