To get your website online, you’ll need to start by creating HTML files. These files contain the code that structures your website’s content and design. You can use a basic text editor (like Notepad or TextEdit) to write HTML, or opt for a more advanced HTML editor (like Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code) that offers helpful features like code highlighting and auto-completion. Once you’ve completed your HTML files, the next step is to transfer them to your web hosting server using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Popular FTP clients like FileZilla make this process simple. Your web hosting provider will give you the necessary login information (hostname, username, and password). Using your FTP client, connect to your server and navigate to the directory where website files are stored – this is typically called "public_html" or "www". Upload your HTML files to this directory, and then you can view your website live by typing your domain name into any web browser.
