I've uploaded all my project files using FileZilla, but how do I make the actual website appear, instead of a list of folders with files in them?

I've never done this before, so sorry for the simple question.

Hi dorx10ho,
there is a few ways you could do it,
a common way is to create an index.htm, index.html or index.php file.
then create a .htaccess file or in an existing one add the following...

DirectoryIndex index.php
IndexIgnore *

the IndexIgnore * will stop listing the files and folders when visiting your website.
DirectoryIndex forces your index page to load when someone visits your sites link.

Thank you spacresx.
Do I create these files in the file manager or in my local folder?

I made my site with Visual Studio, and I have only .cshtml extensions. Will your advice still work? Or is there some other way to deploy a VS project onto x10hosting?

I will just clarify my question: I made .NET Core app in VS 2017. I would like to deploy it to my site here on x10hosting. I have not yet figured out how to do this, neither through publishing in VS, nor with FileZilla. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

-
a CSHTML file is a C# ("C sharp") HTML webpage file used by Razor, an ASP.NET view engine used for generating Web pages for a user's Web browser; similar to a standard ASP.NET webpage (.ASP or .ASPX file), but uses a slightly different syntax; runs on a Web server, which generates the HTML for the client Web browser; can be programmed with syntax highlighting and Intellisense code suggestions using Microsoft Visual Studio.

[ asp.net ] will not work on a x10hosting's free-hosting account - in any way or shape or form

Hi dorx10ho,
ive never used .cshtml extensions so honestly i dont know about that.
you can always try it and see if it works, just set 1 page as the main page and add it to the .htaccess
if it dont work maybe someone else can help getting it deployed for you.

Thank you, bdistler. I wish I had asked earlier. Can you recommend any inexpensive hosting options for such a project?
