Overview

You can upload your website files to VexoWeb hosting in three different ways: using the DirectAdmin File Manager, using FTP, or installing a CMS like WordPress via Softaculous.

Method 1 – Upload via File Manager

1. Log in to DirectAdmin
2. Go to System Info & Files → File Manager
3. Open your domain folder (usually domains/yourdomain.com/public_html/)
4. Click Upload
5. Select your files

Tips

• Use Extract to unzip .zip files
• public_html is the folder that displays your website

Method 2 – Upload via FTP

1. Go to Account Manager → FTP Management
2. Create an FTP account (or use the default one)
3. Connect via FileZilla using:

Host: yourdomain.com
Username: your FTP username
Password: your FTP password
Port: 21

Upload files to:

domains/yourdomain.com/public_html/

Method 3 – Install WordPress using Softaculous

1. Go to Extra Features → Softaculous Apps Installer
2. Select WordPress
3. Click Install
4. Choose your domain and directory
5. Set up your admin username and password

Troubleshooting

• If your site shows a blank page → check the PHP version and error logs
• If files do not upload → check available disk space
• If WordPress is slow → enable AccelerateWP or Redis (if supported)
