Find your website file path
Definitions
A website file path is the main folder where you store your website’s files, making them accessible on the internet. This is often called the docroot or public_html folder.
Before you start
✅ You will require a file path to find your website files when using SFTP or FTP to connect your hosting account file manager.
⚠️ Typically, your website file path will be under your website name, unless you have a custom setup.
Step by step
Domain file path (public_html)
Unless you have a custom setup, your domain file path (docroot) will always be in the following format:
/domains/yourdomain.com/public_html
🚨Note: Make sure to replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name.
For example, for our domain infoceptor.com, the file path is:
/domains/infoceptor.com/public_html
Subdomain file path (public_html)
Your subdomain file path is found directly within your hosting control panel.
1. Log in to your hosting control panel
2. From the top right, click the down arrow ∨ and choose the domain your subdomain is associated to
3. Click on the Subdomains button
4. Find your subdomain and under the Docroot section, you will see its public_html file path
