After your hosting is activated, the next step is to get your website live by uploading your site files. You can do this using either the File Manager or FTP (File Transfer Protocol), depending on your preference and technical comfort.
Uploading via File Manager (Recommended for Beginners)
- Log in to your client area at connect.o3host.pk.
- Navigate to the Services section and select your active hosting service.
- Click the Login to Control Panel button to access your hosting dashboard (stackcp.com).
- In the control panel, go to Web Files > File Manager.
- Open the public_html folder — this is the root directory for your website.
- Click the Upload button and select your website files (e.g.,
index.html, images, CSS files).
Uploading via FTP (Advanced Method)
- Download and install an FTP client such as FileZilla.
- Find your FTP credentials in the control panel under "Manage FTP Accounts" or use the root access details available on control panel home.
- Open FileZilla and enter the following:
- Host: FTP hostname (e.g., ftp.yourdomain.com)
- Username: Your FTP username
- Password: Your FTP password
- Port: 21
- Once connected, navigate to the public_html directory on the server side.
- Upload your website files into this folder.
⚠️ Important: Your homepage file should be named
index.html or index.php — this is the default file your visitors will see when accessing your website.
