Hello, I am brand new to publishing things like websites, and after looking over the forums, I see that the Cgi bin from the file uploader has been removed for free users. I have a website completely designed. Could someone give me a step-by-step, detailed process on how take all the files from the website, and upload them to X10 Hosting as a free account? Thank you so much for your time.

Your files (HTML/PHP, CSS, JS, images, etc.) would go into public_html or subdirectories you create there. The only scripting environment you have at your disposal is PHP.

thank you for your reply. I have uploaded the files into those directories, using an ftp service, so how would I use X10 Hosting to receive the files? Like what step do I take after uploading the files to the ftp server?

If by 'receiving' you mean downloading, you can use the FTP client to download and store the files locally.

If your scripts require a database then you would need to set one up with a MySQL user.

You can visit the sub-domain you had picked during registration to access your site. If you are missing any PHP modules that any of your scripts use, you can check to see if they're available and enable them.

Thank you! I think that really helped, and the website is up. I really appreciate the help from both of you

In the 'public_html/' directory (should be there by default), you must have a file with the name 'index' in lower case with the extensions being either '.htm', '.html' or '.php'.
So, if your main page uses PHP in any part of it, name it 'index.php'. Just HTML/CSS/JavaScript (no PHP)? Use 'index.html' or 'index.htm'.
