Put a site online and connect a database

The file manager and phpMyAdmin run in the browser: there is nothing to install.

Switch hosting on

  1. Open your account, go to Hosting and press "Enable hosting".
  2. Refresh the page a minute later: the file manager and database credentials appear.
  3. Save them immediately — they are shown once, and we keep no copy that can be read later.

Upload the files

  1. Sign in to the file manager at the address from your credentials.
  2. Upload the site files into the root — that is what is served to the internet.
  3. The start page is index.php or index.html.
  4. Check the result at the preview address, also listed in the credentials.

Connect the database

The database is created together with the account. Its name, user and password come with the same credentials.

Database host
localhost
Character set
utf8mb4
Management
phpMyAdmin, address in your credentials

What will not work

These limits apply to every client and are not a sign that something is broken.

  1. sending mail from PHP: the mail() function is disabled
  2. starting external programs: exec, shell_exec, system and the like are closed
  3. your own cron jobs and SSH access
