Which Folder Do My Files Go In?
Your website files go in the public_html folder. This is the web-accessible root directory for your primary domain name. When someone visits yourdomain.com, the server serves files from this folder.
Directory Guide
public_html/- Your main website (yourdomain.com)public_html/addondomain.com/- Addon domain websites (each gets its own subfolder)public_html/subdomain/- Subdomain files (e.g., blog.yourdomain.com)
Do Not Put Files In:
/home/username/(the root of your account) - Files here are not web-accessible/mail/- Email data directory, do not modify/etc/or/tmp/- System directories
Your main page should be named index.html or index.php and placed directly inside public_html. The www folder is a symbolic link that points to the same location as public_html, so uploading to either one has the same result.
