Managing Your Hosting Account's Files

Your hosting account is on a computer — just like a personal computer. So, just like a personal computer you can manage your website's files and directories, with tasks like:

• Uploading
• Moving
• Archiving (zipping) and unarchiving

Changes you make through your hosting account's file manager will take effect on the Internet immediately.
