Web hosting

Launch checklist

Upload your files through the file manager, keep index.php or index.html in the public folder, and verify that paths are relative before publishing.

Use the dashboard to check invoices, storage and service status. Keep backups of important files before large updates.

PHP and databases

Shared hosting works best with lightweight PHP applications. Store credentials in configuration files outside public routes when possible.

If an app uses MySQL, create the database first, then update the app configuration with host, database, username and password.

Domains

Point your domain to the hosting service and allow DNS propagation time. If a domain does not resolve immediately, check nameservers, A records and HTTPS settings.
