Hi Harsha!

If you haven't bought hosting already you will need to buy a web host. I would highly recommend Web Hosting For Students because being a Treehouse member will bring you some great benefits on the site and it is also good quality hosting.

Next you will need to get yourself an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client so that you can upload your files to the host. I would highly recommend using CyberDuck because it is very simple to use and works very well.

Now you will just need to connect to your web server using the information provided by your host and then drag and drop the files over!

If you would rather watch a video on how to do it Nick Pettit's tutorial is great!

Best of luck.

If you have your hosting already set up, one of the free FTP clients like Cyberduck or filezilla makes it very easy to upload your files to the server. Easy to find with Google and both of them are drag and drop applications I believe.
