Using your Website Builder service

Once you have bought the Website Builder Service, you need to take the following steps in order to start building your website.

Your Website Builder package allows you to publish your website on a web server of your choice. You need to supply the FTP access details provided by your Web Hosting Service Provider, to the Website Builder before you can start publishing. To set these details, follow the steps given below:

  1. Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name for which you have purchased this Service and proceed to the Order Details view. 1

  2. Here, click the FTP Details link.

  3. Mention the FTP details provided by your current Hosting Provider here and click Modify to submit:

    • FTP Username

    • FTP Password

    • FTP Hostname

    • FTP Port

    • FTP Path

Note

If you have bought your Web Hosting package through Domain Central and wish to publish your site on this hosting package, then you need to submit the following details here:

  • FTP Username: This could be either the default FTP Username created for you at the time of purchase of your Web Hosting package with us, or any other user added by yourself.

  • FTP Password: Likewise, this is the FTP Password corresponding to the FTP Username entered above.

  • FTP Hostname: Mention the domain name here for which you have purchased Web Hosting with us. This is also known as the Primary Domain Name.

  • FTP Port: Depending upon the type of your Web Hosting package with us, mention the appropriate port number:

    • Linux Web Hosting package: Mention port 21

    If you are not using the default FTP User, then the FTP Path needs to correspond to the directory, this FTP User has been given access to.
