<Note>
  **The `public_html` folder** is the primary *document root* where the web server serves your website files to internet visitors.
</Note>

### 4. Upload Script Archive (.ZIP)

For websites with multiple files, we recommend compressing them into a single `.zip` file on your computer first:

1. Inside `public_html`, click the **Upload** button in the top menu bar.
2. Drag and drop your `.zip` file from your local computer into the upload modal, then wait for the upload progress to finish.

***

### 5. Extract the ZIP File on the Server

1. Locate the uploaded `.zip` file inside the `public_html` directory.
2. Right-click the `.zip` file or check its box, then select **Extract** (or **Archive** -> **Extract**).
3. Confirm extraction to `/domains/[yourdomain]/public_html`.
4. Your website files will extract immediately!

### 6. Edit Configuration Files (e.g. `.env` or `config.php`)

If you need to update database credentials or environment variables:

1. Click on the configuration file (e.g. `.env`, `config.php`, or `.htaccess`).
2. Click the **Edit** button in the top menu.
3. Update the values (make sure `DB_HOST=localhost`), then click **Save** in the bottom-right corner.

***

## Done 🎉

Your website scripts are now uploaded and live on your DirectAdmin hosting!
