To upload files to your hosting you have two options: the panel's File Manager (quick for one-offs) and an FTP/SFTP client on your computer (better for large uploads).
Connection details
- Host: your domain or the one in the welcome email.
- User: your cPanel account.
- Password: same as cPanel (or a dedicated one from cPanel → FTP Accounts).
- Port: 21 (FTP) or 22 (SFTP, recommended for security).
Clients we recommend
- FileZilla (Windows, Mac, Linux) — free and reliable.
- Cyberduck (Mac, Windows) — clean UI.
- WinSCP (Windows) — solid SFTP support.
Always pick SFTP if you can — it encrypts everything. If the client asks you to accept the server fingerprint the first time, that's expected.
Command-line person? sftp user@yourdomain.com works too.
