    1. Do you have a domain name and hosting? If no ---> End of story; Yes --> 2.
    2. Using an FTP client upload all that files and directories to your domain main folder.
    3. Test by entering http://your-domain-name.com (or org or whatever you have)
    End of story!

    You need:
    1. FTP Client. I use Filezilla (google it out, free to use, download, install)
    2. Your site FTP address and password (if you use CPanel then you can find that one easily under your domain information. It may be just the same as your account name and password)
    Once you have the soft and the info:
    1. Start Filezilla
    2. Enter the server data (see Filezilla's user manual), initiate the connection. You'll see your local disk in the left panel and your remote site in the right panel.
    3. On your local panel, navigate to the folder where you store your website files. Select all (Ctrl+A), right click on any of them and select "Upload"
    4. After upload finishes, start your website browser and enter your domain name in the address bar to see if everything is working.

      I extracted the script with a program called 7-zip because it was in a strange file format. but i don't know where the files are stored on my computer now. i can only access them through 7-zip. what should i do?
      you are very kind for helping me and i've just checked out your free resources on your website i need to read and watch those too now.
