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
