How to upload a backup of your website files

When you are moving a website from one hosting account/provider to another, you will often have a zip or tarball file of your website files.

This is an archive (one file) of all your website files, packaged up for ease of transferring.

 

  1. Log in to your LetsHost Client Area and click on Services > My Services
  2. You will see your products/services listed out here. Click on Active beside your hosting package
  3. On the left, click on the link Login to cPanel
  4. Once logged in to cPanel, click on the icon for ‘File Manager’
  5. In the File Manager, click the public_html on the left-hand side
  6. Click the Upload button in the top and follow the steps to upload the archive file
  7. Return to the File Manager (you may need to click Reload) and then click on the backup file and click Extract in the toolbar above

 

If you have any questions on the above, please do not hesitate to 'Open a Ticket' and we will be happy to advise further.
