Hiya,

This is the fifth proxy101 tutorial! So now you have your webhosting and your domain, your ad code and everything else you need, you wanna actually start getting a website up, don’t ya!?

The Script

This is awfully simple and very easy to do. Go and grab a proxy theme from the template releases section. Download it to your desktop, or a folder designated for your proxy. Now open up config.php and change the presets to what you want. Everything is commented in there, and if you need any help you know where to find me (me@iamgp.com)!

FTP

So FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, basically a fancy phrase which describes the process (protocol) by which we upload (transfer) files to our hosting. Like all software, there are many different FTP clients out there (which I will be analysing in another post), but if you are on Windows I would suggest FileZilla, while if you are on a Mac I would suggest CyberDuck.
Now, you should have details of your FTP info sent to you by your hosting provider. If you don’t, it is normally on the lines of:

• Host: ftp.YOURSITE.com
• Username: the username to your site’s cpanel
• Password: the password to your site’s cpanel

Now click Connect (or its equivalent) and wait a few seconds for it to login. Now, this part will be different for each and every one of us, but get to /public_html, the folder which basically holds all the web accessible files and sub folders. Now, drag your files (all of them, but not the folder) to your /public_html folder. Go to your website and look at your work!

It’s as simple as that!

P.S. If you look to the right, in the sidebar, you can also find some other scripts, if, for some reason, you don’t like PHProxy.
