Just bought a Host Gator Account - Now What

I have a host and a domain name but I have no idea how to use it. Is there a website teaching you about cpanel and FTP and how to use it?

Ex: uploading a image and putting that image onto your site

I believe web hosting coming with CPanel. There is guide for you. Just once you receive your account details - login and follow the instructions.

 

Contact your hosting provider they should assist you step by step.

You don't have to pay, just click the play button next to the name.

 

Login to the cpanl, there are many video tutorials teaching you everything you need to know.

 

In Cpanel, there are video tutorials that come with it already.

 

Or you can simply ask Hostgator through their chat support for the basic set up.

 

If you plan on having a regular web-site, just upload the files via FTP. If you are going to run any kind of software, upload the software and then install it. Some software requires MySQL databases which can be created using cPanel. It all depends on what kind of site you're running. I would check with your host to get step-by-step support.

 

Hostgator has tutorials to help you get started http://www.hostgator.com/gettingstarted.shtml

 

Hostgator have a great support site support.hostgator dot com this should get you up and running

 

You can always check out YouTube also. There are plenty of ftp video tutorials there that you can watch for free.

You Could use the WYSIWYG Editor in CPanel or Select Fantastico to use Some of the Site Builders or Install Something Like WordPress or B2Evolution there are many Options
