The Basic Steps are:

  1. Register a Domain Name
  2. Set up a Hosting Plan
  3. Get a Template, or Webpage Builder Software
  4. Obtain or Create Graphics
  5. Create and/or Customize the Home Page
  6. Copy for Each Additional Web Page and Customize
    Next Step:
  7. Upload the Files to the Hosting Server Account
  8. Test, Modify, Upload - Repeat Until Done

Step 7 - Upload Files to Your Host Domain

FTP is the File Transfer Protocol on the Internet. It is commonly used to transfer your html and graphics files to your website. Most hosting accounts will provide you with this service, or a link to download a small FTP utility plus instructions on setting it up.

The FTP panel may look like a two-pane Explorer window and you just drag and drop the files to move them onto your website. Or, you might be given a Browse button to select a file from your PC to upload onto the server.

I still use CuteFTP and you can install it and use it free for 30 days.

If you decided to get a Hostgator Hosting Plan, their cPanel has an FTP utility built right in. It provides a Browse button to select the file from your PC.
