Ok for FTP access you have a Host Name , FTP Username and a password now.What is our host name ? that is the domain name which we added to the domain list. in our example it is myfirstwebsite123.com , If you cannot forget how we added the domain to the control panel please go to the start of this article.So , once we feed the access to FTP Client that we have already installed , FileZilla it will look like the below screen.

Now double click on the domain myfirstwebsite123 from the list (if you don't have a list thats ok , we have a long list already there as we have done a lot of web sites.) , So now you should see the below screen.

Notice that new domain is ready to accept web site files now , but did you notice that two files called index.html and error404.html added in the public directory (This is the place you transfer all your wen files including index.html)already ?who did this transfer ?  be cool ! Awardspace has already put them by default.you can right click each of those files and select delete right from the FTP application.

Step 07. 
Now is the time to make sure you have all the web files in place in order to transfer the files to web hosting server.Ok , see the below screen shot to see the overview of files of our web site that is going to host.

We have 8 files in total, 4 html files + 4 images , This is a very simple site with only 4 pages.Lets now transfer them to the server.To do that you can do the drag and drop method to the public directory of the domain.Here is the screen.

Pay attention to the areas marked in red color , those are the location from where we drag the files and dropping.Arrow will help you to understand which direction you should do it.

Congratulations ! You Have have Hosted your web site FREE of Charge ! Now browse your web site , to do that go to any browser and type www.myfirstwebsite123.com , It will display the index.html which is the home page.
