How to Publish Your Website Using Microsoft Expression Web

To publish your website using Microsoft Expression Web:

1. Open Microsoft Expression Web.

2. Open your project.

3. Select Site > Publishing Settings.

4. Click the Add button.

5. Enter the following settings:

   • Favorite Name: (Same as Host name below)

   • Connection Type: FTPS

   • Location: (FTP Server, as listed on your hosting account’s Info page)

   • Directory: public_html/example.com
     (where example.com is replaced with your actual domain name)

   • User name: (Your cPanel username)

   • FTP Password: (Your cPanel password)

   • Use Passive FTP: On

6. If the FTPS settings do not work for you, try WebDAV as follows:

   • Favorite Name: (Same as Host name below)

   • Connection Type: WebDAV

   • Location: (Same hostname as FTP Server above, but also add https:// in front of it, and :2078/public_html/example.com after it. For example, it would look something like this: https://ab123456.z.com:2078/public_html/example.com where ab123456.z.com is replaced with your account hostname and example.com is replaced with your actual domain name.)

   • User name: (Your cPanel username. This is shown on your hosting account’s Info page.)

   • WebDAV Password: (Your cPanel password. This can be set up or changed at any time on your hosting account’s Info page.)

7. Click the Add button.

Microsoft Expression Web should now be ready to publish your site to your FTP account!
