Hello, we have just registered for free webhosting here. But how can I upload an already made website? What are the things I have to fill in?
Thanks

The easiest way to do that would probably be to FTP into the new site and upload your old site from your computer to the new site.

If you haven't already, create a new web host account on the Zymic Control Panel. This will be where your website is located.

Download all the files from your previous web host if you haven't yet, and if you use Firefox, there's a nice add-on called FireFTP that's easy to configure to FTP into your Zymic web host account. You can get it from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/se...FTP&cat=all . It should be the first choice on the list there.

Once you have FireFTP, (or another FTP program if you prefer), open it and click on the FireFTP tab (two tabs will open, and the first to open is the FireFTP tab). In the top left corner of the tab, there should be a drop down that will let you create a new login. Click on that option in the drop down.

Make a name for your connection to the Zymic site. This can be anything, as long as you remember what it is.

Then, it will ask you for the host site. This should be ftp://[your site name here].vndv.com

The username should be [your site here], if you didn't change anything.
The password will be the password you used when you created the new site.

Try to connect.


The left file pane is your local machine, and the right file pane will be the site on Zymic. In the left pane, browse to where you have your files, and just upload them from there. Overwrite the index.html file that's already on the Zymic site - that's the default "New Site" index.


If you need any more help (other programs besides FireFTP, etc), post here. =)

Thanks, Kymaera, for your fast reply.
The program which we use for our site has a built-in FTP-possibility so we will use that.
Thanks again
