Hello.[nbsp][nbsp]I recently signed up to try FQ's hosting service and I'm not 100 percent sure where to start uploading files(Is a domain transfer).[nbsp][nbsp]I already filled out all the information to network solution for the domain transfer stuff so I have to just wait in terms of that.[nbsp][nbsp]Guess this is a rookie question, but which folder should I upload everything to while I'm waiting for the domain hosting switch?[nbsp][nbsp]
With my old host, once I logged in with my ftp program, there was 1 folder called "public_html" and inside was 1 "cgi-bin".[nbsp][nbsp]I would upload all my contents into the public folder or create new folder sections within if I wanted new sections.[nbsp][nbsp]So I logged into the ftp address that was given
by FQ and it brought me to a folder that was my domain name and inside is a folder called ".mc" and 4 other files.
Was looking for something like the public_html folder but couldn't find anything in my domain folder.[nbsp][nbsp]So I decided to scrounge around the directory and found another 1 with my domain name except this 1 has an "x" infront of it.[nbsp][nbsp]This section has a couple of folders like the cgi-bin and such.[nbsp][nbsp]I am assuming that the folder called "www" would be equal to the "public_html" that I am used to.[nbsp][nbsp]
So am I suppose to upload everything to this "x" section that has the "www" folder for now?[nbsp][nbsp]Or is that entire area just a temporary 1 and will be deleted after the domain hosting transfer is completed?[nbsp][nbsp]Or will it still be there after and is the right place to upload the files?[nbsp][nbsp]Any help would be great.[nbsp][nbsp]Thanks :)
