How do I create a new file?

Creating files on your hosting package can either be done using the control panel of your subscription (cPanel) or through the FTP Client to which you can connect to your hosting package.

Create file from within cPanel

To create a file in your site through the cPanel you can follow the steps below:

1. Login to cPanel

2. Click the File Manager option you will find in Files category.

   

3. On the popup window click the GO button.

   

4. Now you are on File Manager page of cPanel. Through this interface you can create the file you want. Click the New File option.

   

5. In the popup window enter the name of the file. i.e. new_file.php or new_file.html. The suffix you will give the file indicates the type of this file.
