Your website runs perfectly on localhost (only you can access to your website), but now you want your friends, coworkers, and everybody to be able to see your achievement. Alternatively, you may have been dissatisfied with current hosting providers and now wish to try out 1Byte’s web hosting service.
Prerequisites
1) Web Hosting or Cloud Server
→ In this tutorial, I will be using Shared Hosting + cPanel
(If you want to upload your website to Cloud Hosting, please check this POST)
2) Domain name
→ A domain name is required for Web Hosting. If you don’t have a domain, purchase here.
3) Your website data
Let’s get started
Step 1: Config your domain point to your Shared Hosting

- Select Domain at the left menu bar
- Select Manage button at the domain you want to point
- At the nameserver section, choose 1Byte DNS
Step 2: Basic check at cPanel control

On the right side of the cPanel Dashboard, please be sure that your domain name is shown up in here
Step 3: Upload your website data into this Shared Hosting
At cPanel Dashboard, navigate to Files section and select File Manager
Go to the public_html directory (1), then upload your website data (2), finally extract the zip file (4)
