Posting Treehouse Code to cPanel on GoDaddy

I'm really stuck. I'm writing all of this code, and having a great time, but can't get it on the internet.

I've registered a domain name on GoDaddy, but can't figure out how to create a simple page that showcases the HTML/CSS/Javascript combinations that I've created on Treehouse. I do not want to use a content management system like Wordpress for this project. I just want plain, boring webpages that show what my code can do.

Can anyone walk me through these two steps?

  1. Upload my HTML, CSS, and .JS files to cPanel on GoDaddy.
  2. Launch my code to webpages that are visible on the internet.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Might I suggest GitHub Pages?

You can host all your code for free through GitHub. There are tutorials here for using Github, as well as an explanation at that link on how to get it going.

As far as using cPanel, you'd have to navigate to your public_html directory using the "File Manager" link. There, you will find an 'upload' button somewhere at the top to upload your files.

Thanks for the suggestion Richard Hall , I appreciate that you took the time to respond to a newbie. I will get started on GitHub Pages tomorrow!

I think I'll use my GoDaddy account to build a Wordpress site, just for practice, unless there is a better way to use my time (?).

It's really up to you however you would like to do it. You can host locally on your computer, or use your godaddy site. I personally am constantly taking my server down to rebuild things using different tech. Best of luck!
