====== Uploading your Site ======
Once you've received your username, password and other server details from Net5, you can begin uploading your site content immediately! You don't have to wait for domain names to propagate, or make any other changes --- this way, your site can be ready to go before your visitors arrive!

If you like video tutorials, we've found [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KmDNAF7Cb0|this youtube video]] that's fairly good.

===== Accessing the File Manager =====

Start by [[login|logging in]] to your cPanel account. 

In the **Files** section, choose the **File Manager**. It will bring up a small window asking whether you want to upload the files to. In most cases, you'll want to select "Web Root", which is where all your site's pages, images and other files need to go.

The file manager has a simple user interface, and most people should have no troubles performing most tasks.

===== Handy Hints =====

==== Upload your whole site at once ====

Rather than upload a number of individual files, you can create a ZIP file (or another kind of archive like a tar.gz or tar.bz2 file), upload this file, and then use the **Extract** button to extract your uploaded archive.
