HTML How to Make a Website Sharing a Website Pick a Web Host

Why aren't my CSS files loading to website along with html files?

I ended up buying my domain name and hosting through GoDaddy and their cPanel hosting service instead of NameCheap/Dreamhost because GoDaddy was a bit cheaper. I've followed all of Nick's steps from the video to the best degree possible with through cPanel and Cyberduck but now my CSS files won't upload to my website. When I go to my website all it shows is the HTML. Can someone please help me solve this problem?

Thanks

Without seeing your code it's rather hard to know the answer... One thing that comes to mind is perhaps the file directory has changed, possibly causing the path to your css file to change as well?

I've didn't follow through with this at the time I went through this domain, however I've uploaded a few sites recently. It's a pretty straightforward process.

If all of your files are working locally, it should work online as well. Here's the steps I would folllow:

1) zip your files 2) log into the cpanel 3) go to the file manager 4) select upload file 5) upload the file to your website 6) done (may take a few hours to populate correctly)

If all else fails, call Godaddy. They're pretty good about helping people the the hosting set up.
