## Publishing a Muse web site to a hosting.com server

After you create a web site in Muse, you can publish it to the hosting.com server associated with your account. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Start Muse and open your web site project.

2. On the **File** menu, click **Upload to FTP Host**. The **Connect to FTP Server** dialog box appears.

3. In the **FTP Server** text box, type `example.com:22`, replacing ***example.com*** with your own domain name.

   > 🚧 Important
   >
   > Make sure you use the correct SSH port number for your account. For example, some hosting accounts use a different port for SSH, such as 7822.

   > 📘 Note
   >
   > If you have not set up your domain to point to hosting.com's name servers yet, you can use the name of the server that hosts your account instead. For information about how to determine your account's server name, please see [this article](/docs/determining-your-accounts-server-name).

4. In the **User Name** text box, type your hosting.com account (cPanel) username.
   > 📘 Note
   >
   > If you do not know your cPanel username or password, you can use the hosting.com Hosting Panel to view it. For more information, please see [this article](/docs/viewing-and-changing-login-settings-for-shared-hosting-accounts).

5. In the **Password** text box, type your hosting.com account (cPanel) password.
   > 👍 Tip
   >
   > If you do not want to retype your password every time you connect to your account, select the **Store Credentials** check box.

6. Click **Options**.

7. In the **Method** list box, select **SFTP**.

8. Click **Next**. The **Verification** dialog box appears with the MD5 fingerprint of the server.

9. Select the **I trust this server** check box, and then click **OK**. The **Upload to FTP Host** dialog box appears.

10. In the **Site URL** text box, type the URL for your site, such as *example.com* or *example.com/musesite*.

11. Confirm that the **Folder on Server** text box value is set to **public\_html**.
    > 📘 Note
    >
    > This path assumes that you want to upload files to your web site's document root directory. If you want to upload files to a subdirectory instead, then add it to the end of the path. For example, if you specified a site URL in step 10 of *example.com/musesite*, in the **Folder on Server** text box you would type **public\_html/musesite** .

12. In the **Upload** list box, select **All files**.
    > 👍 Tip
    >
    > Because this is the initial site upload, you should upload all of the site's files to the server. For subsequent uploads, however, you can select **Only modified files** to upload only files that have changed.

13. Click **OK**. When Muse finishes uploading the files, the **FTP upload complete** message appears, and Muse opens the site in a web browser.
