| How do I upload my website through FTP? |
First of all, you should get yourself a FTP client. If you do not have one, you can get one at http://www.smartftp.com/download/. Set the server/host address using your unique sub-domain URL (e.g. username.yoursubdomain.ext, where yoursubdomain.ext is the sub domain that you have chosen, i.e. hub.io, hits.io, or hostingweb.us). To login using your FTP account, use your 2ip.com username and password. [Back to top ^]
