Let\u2019s take a quick look at those steps.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h3>Step 1: Login to cPanel<\/h3>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Are you managing your website for the first time using cPanel? If yes, then inquire your hosting company for the login credentials of the cPanel. You should log into the cPanel system of the server. You can easily access the login page via www.domainname.com\/cPanel. Or else, you can use the page provided by your hosting services provider.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<em>If you are interested to know <strong><a href=\"\/blog\/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-shared-web-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what is shared hosting<\/a><\/strong> , don&#8217;t miss this post!<br \/>\r\n<\/em><br \/>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/login-to-cpanel-1.jpg\" alt=\"login to cpanel\" width=\"600\" height=\"251\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/login-to-cpanel-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/login-to-cpanel-1-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/login-to-cpanel-1-768x321.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><em><\/em><\/div>\r\n<h3>Step 2:\u00a0<span>Click on the File Manager<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you log into the cPanel, you will be directly taken to the home page of the control panel. This is where you should pick the option called &#8220;File Manager&#8221; and open it. When you come to this stage, you can see different pieces of information related to hosting. You will need to pick \u201cpublic_html\u201d from the list that you can see.<br \/>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/click-to-file-manager.jpg\" alt=\"click on file manager section\" width=\"600\" height=\"274\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/click-to-file-manager.jpg 800w, https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/click-to-file-manager-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/click-to-file-manager-768x350.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\r\nIf you have linked just one domain with the hosting account, you will be able to upload the file directly. Then it will be hosted. However, it becomes tricky when you have more than one domain linked to your web host. This is where you should pick the respective domain folder and proceed with uploading the files.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<em>If you are interested to know the <strong><a href=\"\/blog\/13-best-wordpress-security-plugins-for-secure-website-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best wordpress security plugins 2021<\/a><\/strong> , this article can help you!<\/em><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Create a New Website Folder<\/h3>\r\n<p>You must upload the file along with the name of its index.

Follow the steps below:<br \/>\r\n<ul>\r\n    <li>Double-click the folder and move inside.<\/li>\r\n    <li>Click the \u2018upload\u2019 option to transfer all the files with cPanel.<\/li>\r\n    <li>A new window displaying the \u2018select\u2019 tab is visible.<\/li>\r\n    <li>Click it and then choose the compressed zip file in the next step.<\/li>\r\n    <li>Upload the site in your cPanel.<\/li>\r\n    <li>Wait for the green progress bar to complete.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/upload-file-in-cpanel.jpg\" alt=\"upload zip file in cpanel\" width=\"600\" height=\"243\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6711\" style=\"font-family: 'Nunito Sans'; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 16px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/upload-file-in-cpanel.jpg 800w, https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/upload-file-in-cpanel-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/upload-file-in-cpanel-768x311.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Extract the Zipped Files<\/h3>\r\n<p>After uploading the zip file, you have to extract it to make the content live. So, the list of files would appear.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/extract-files-in-cpanel.jpg\" alt=\"extract zip files in cpanel\" width=\"600\" height=\"372\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/extract-files-in-cpanel.jpg 870w, https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/extract-files-in-cpanel-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/extract-files-in-cpanel-768x476.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\r\nOnce you are done with uploading, you can load the site. Then you will see how the website is published. With this, your website upload in cPanel completes successfully. Using the file manager can help you in managing, updating, and editing the files. As you can see, the overall process is not so complex, and you can easily follow it.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<em>If you are wondering <strong><a href=\"\/blog\/what-is-tomcat-6-reasons-you-should-use-tomcat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what is tomcat<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0, we recommend you to read this article!<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<\/em><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\r\n<h3>How To Create a Database?<\/h3>\r\n\r\nA complex website cannot exist without a database. That\u2019s because all data of the website will be stored in the Database. Data will be fetched from the Database and given to the users upon request. On the other hand, users can add new data or edit existing data in the Database.<br \/>\r\nYou can easily create a database on your web host. Let\u2019s take a look at the steps you will need to follow when trying to create a database with cPanel. We will also share the steps on how to manage the Database.<br \/>\r\n<em>If you aim to look for the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/what-is-an-iis-server-and-how-do-internet-information-services-work\/\">what is IIS<\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/which-are-the-best-hosting-platforms-for-python-application\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-schema-attribute=\"\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/strong> , don&#8217;t miss this post!<\/em><br \/>\r\n<h4>Step 1: Create Database<\/h4>\r\n\r\nTo create a database, you should get to the \u201cDatabases\u201d section under cPanel. This is where you will see multiple options to create a database. CPanel allows you to create a PostgreSQL database or a MySQL database. However, we will only stick to the MySQL database in this article. The steps to create a PostgreSQL database are pretty much the same.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nYou should click on the \u201cMySQL Database Wizard\u201d that you can see under the \u201cDatabases\u201d section.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/create-database-in-cpanel.jpg\" alt=\"create database in cpanel\" width=\"800\" height=\"217\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/create-database-in-cpanel.jpg 800w, https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/create-database-in-cpanel-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/create-database-in-cpanel-768x208.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>\r\nNow, you can set a name for the Database.

You will need to have it to work on the Database at a later stage.<br \/>\r\nAs the next step, you should assign privileges to the database users. For example, if you want to give all requests, you should click on \u201cAll Privileges.\u201d<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/create-user-in-cpanel-database-1.jpg\" alt=\"create user in cpanel database\" width=\"800\" height=\"296\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/create-user-in-cpanel-database-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/create-user-in-cpanel-database-1-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/n6host.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/create-user-in-cpanel-database-1-768x284.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>\r\nWhen you follow these steps, you will be able to complete database creation.
