How to Upload Files to a Web Server

Use FileZilla to upload your files to your web server (see Resources.) This is a free software program designed for beginners. Log into the console using the information provided by your web hosting provider (domain, account username, and password). When you log in, navigate to the folder on your computer containing your web files and then drag and drop the file to your web server. This software works on almost all platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Manage your web server files using Ipswitch WS_FTP. This software, which contains advanced security features to protect your file transfers, is available for a fee (see Resources.) Establish your connection using your login details provided by your web hosting service, then view your files side by side---the local (computer) files show on the left and the web server files show on the right side. Click the 'Transfer' arrows to move files from your computer to the web server side. This software works on Windows systems.
Transfer files to your web server using SmartFTP. SmartFTP is a paid FTP software option but you can start uploading web server files free for 30 days to get the hang of the tool (see Resources.) After logging in with your account details (username and password,) you'll view a series of windows that contain your computer files and web server, and preview windows that show you what you're about to transfer before taking any action. Upload files to your web server by dragging and dropping them to the window pane containing your remote web files, or schedule a recurring transfer to occur automatically if you wish. This option is compatible with Windows operating systems.

How to Buy Space on a Server

Learn what you should expect to pay. Different websites have different needs. High-volume sites such as Facebook require tens of millions of dollars each year to function, and a successful e-commerce site might pay $5,000 annually. In contrast, the server needs of a typical website are so relatively small that $100 or less per year is reasonable and common. To discover more about reasonable server costs for your website in particular, call or email business owners operating in an industry or market similar to yours and ask how much they pay.
Determine necessary features. Even the most basic web hosting packages offer a large collection of features, but not all may provide the features specifically required by your website. Do you need a Linux or Windows operating system? What about core functions, such as the ability to host domains and sub-domains, email and FTP accounts, and relational databases? In terms of programming needs, do you require CGI, PHP, Perl, Ruby on Rails, Python or JSP? How about the ability to simply create guestbooks, forums, chatrooms, password-protected directories or email forms? If you expect to sell products online, shopping cart software and secure server technology must also be considered. Create a spreadsheet and list all of the features that your web server must provide.
Read customer reviews. Setting up space on a web server is quick and simple, but changing to another is time-consuming and often difficult. Avoid this possibility by reading reviews provided by current and former customers on sites such as webhostingreviews.com. These sites provide real-world insight into a hosting provider's up-time and reliability, server and connection speed, technical support and knowledge, customer service, billing practices, and their overall ability to deliver value.
Buy server space. Purchasing your web server space is the easiest part of the process. Visit your selected provider's website, find the plan you wish to buy and begin your order. After providing the name of your website, you will be asked to provide your contact information and payment details. In most cases you can also select your payment term: monthly, yearly, or multi-yearly (Many hosting providers offer discounts for services paid in advance). After submitting payment, you will receive a confirmation email from your provider. Your server space will generally be available for use within an hour after purchase.
