Hello.
I have downloaded XAMPP, the latest version, and I have a large php website with passwords and everything. I have a folder for all of those files in the htdocs folder under xampp. Now, I have tested out the website on my localhost, but now I want to get it publically online. I don't want to use my computer as a hosting server! I want to be able to use a free web hosting website to host my website. I have used webs.com before. My problem is, How do I use webs.com (or any other web hosting site) to read my files? What I'm trying to say, what are the steps I should take to get webs.com to host my website and all of the files that I have under the htdocs folder?
I have been trying to research this, but I can't find anything that helps. Most of the things I have seen are articles discussing how to setup a local/home server, and I don't want that due to security issues.
Thanks for any help! I have been trying and trying to get this to work for days now, but I just don't know how.
